All that matters is that your program earnings total is one million or more.

Yes, the miles are yours to use. You do not need to maintain a million miles in your ff account. If you have a million miles I sugest you start using them.

In fact, you don't ever have to have a million miles in your account; all that matters is the "Program to date miles" counter.

Are you saying you have almost 900k AA miles right now and you fly twice a year? Why don't you just go first class and not worry about it?

no, these are total miles earned during my lifetime from flying and credit card transfers into my AA account. Before retiring, I did fly often on business and accumulated them quickly as I was Platinum several years in a row.
