Currently ...
Since the MM program (and its benefits) are undocumented at aadvantage .. it COULD change any time.
As of today the statement is correct.
I think also miles transfered from a decedant's account will accumulate into the MM value. My Mom's 90k miles that were transferred into my account when she passed away I recall were included in my MM total.

So, if I transfer miles in from my AMEX, then use them for flights - they clearly still count. What if I transfer them in, then back out again? I would probably lose a chunk in the conversion, but doing that two or three times (before the conversion eats them all) could net a gain in lifetime miles. Am I smoking something?

Half of my miles are from non-flying (i.e., non-"BIS") sources. With my luck, I'll be at 997,100 miles, sitting at Logan with a boarding pass to LAX in hand at the moment they change the rules.
With so many offers (such as the 40,000 Citibank AAdvantage Mastercard) which pay out huge numbers of miles, it's only a matter of time before a rule change.

I doubt very much that AA would pull all the non-BIS miles when and if they decided to change the lifetime status rules.

It's a great program--every mile counts. I started flying AA in August and I am already a hemiMM!

Sounds like a major AA eshopping spend needs to happen. Watch for bonus AA miles specials especially as we get into the holiday shopping season.

If you cancel an award and have the miles reinstated, your lifetime counter does not go up. Anything else that increases your balance also increases your lifetime total.
