You receive 4 GGUs at MVPG and another 4 GGUs, 4 Lounge Passes & 50K bonus RDM at 75K. There have been reports of Members getting 4 twice at qualification but that isn't supposed to happen. I received 8 this year as I should have, but last year I did get 12. I will earn 4 more in January.

Ok, I'm counting on the 'flame free' verbage in the title...
With AS you get a new membership card and luggage tags at every MP milestone, MVP, MVPGold, MVPGold 75K etc...Does such a thing exist for Million Mile status?

I have received luggage tags but I believe it is at 75K only. I certainly haven't received three sets a year and unfortunately, they don't seem to last with the "few" flights I am on.

And for MMers too. Or at least they used.

For MVP/Gold, just use one of these for a bag tag

Has anyone had an experience with partner flights posing sold via a codeshare? For example, I see a SQ J ticket from KUL-SFO but its a Air India Code Share. Do we think this would post correctly? Even worse its sold via an OTA (AMEX). Things like this make me nervous

Air India is not an AS Partner so it will not credit to MP. While AS generally will allow credit for codeshare flights upon a manual submission request if the operating and marketing carriers are both AS Partners, to be 100% sure that the flights credit, both the operating & marketing carrier should be the same and the flight numbers should fall within the eligible range as set out in the Partner charts.
