Paul5E, do you have a breakdown on the way the last MM were earned?

I received the exact same e-mail today from AA cogratulating me on four million miles. I've been at this game since 1982, but have just started doing MR's again after a seven year hiatus. Most of the old-timers at AA SAN still recognize me from the old days. That's a nice feeling when entering the AC or boarding a flight. I'll look for you in the "Club" sometime. ^

Congrats! ^ ^


Same as my other questions: 1) estimated date for the next million; 2) break-down of the last million miles?

What did you get as a "present"?

Has anyone ever experienced any recognition/benefit from being a million miler besides a new card? I an AAdvantage member since 1982 (all numbers), have almost 3MM miles, and have never noticed anything different or special in terms of any recognition or otherwise by an AA employee, other than what I would normally get with my then current elite status.

I too have been a long time member.....March of 1982....and have all numbers in my ID........I really didn't go at this in earnest till 1994....at which point I had approx 120K Lifetime miles....As far as a present, the only thing I have received in the past was the 4 additional eVip upgrades and the bag tags......but I just got the email today so we'll see what shows up in the mail.....I'll let everyone know.

Cheers! :cool:

Actually the last 1MM was highly enhanced by the "Triple Miles" promotion in 1994 both on the backend of the 3MM and front end of the 4MM trip. I did 176 segments and 275KBIS miles that year and paid for all the expenses on my AAdvantage CC, but last year and a job change had me only managing to make to 100K threshold (points not miles) with 2 mileage runs in December to put me over the top.

But another job change this year has me back in the saddle and could actually challange the 2004 numbers....so here I sit on March 9th with 40 segments already flown and 84K points in my account since 1/06 and a trip planned later this month of LAX/London/JFK/ORD/SAN in "J" which might just put me over the top for this year.......the question is whether there might be some awesome promotion this year like the one in 2004 (4X miles actually)!

Cheers! :cool:

Now that's a nice arrangement. I was never able to get my spouse to enjoy flying. Coach or Business Class....

The 60k promo is equal to flying 30,000 BIS miles (+100% bonus=60k)! You go right ahead and fly 30,000 extra miles to equal the 6 short RTs < 1 hr of flying time. So that makes a total of 12 hrs vs. 50 hrs. (30,000 miles/ 600 mph) of flying time.... @:-)
