This is the Congrat email in its entirety rec'd in Jan 2011. Not a single word about Lifetime Status.
The language is definitely in the packet which arrived 3 1/2 months later.
The composition is totally different after the 1st paragraph. However it is very similar or even identical to the one received in Sept 2009.
.................................................. .........................

I am looking at the first page of the booklet that I received with the Gold card and luggage tags.
The first page has a letter addressed to me personally. It contains the following sentence:
"You may not be aware, but your new Million Miler status entitiles you to AAdvantade Gold membership for the lifetime of that program"
I can't understand why it is written on my documents and not on other people's. Maybe you are not reading the whole booklet.
Also, I received a first email, which I quoted. That said it was a series of three emails I would receive. That one mentioned lifetime status. The second did not.
I have not yet received the third email.
Look at the second paragraph of the letter on the first page of the booklet.

I went back and re-read the last page or two of posts...I don't think anybody's saying that the packet/booklet doesn't say "lifetime." (Everybody has reported that the mailed letter states the lifetime benefit.)
The discussion is around the email. It seems like recent emails (within the last year or so) have not stated the lifetime benefit within the text.

Made it!
Program to Date Miles 2,003,951
Crossed over March 29.
4 shiny new SWU's are in my account today! Need to think about how best to use these, as I probably won't make EXP and will have only these 4 until Feb 2013 and then no more until 3MM.
No email yet -- should be soon.
No letter yet -- I know this will take a while.
How I got to 2MM:
Mostly BIS...double miles due to PLT in recent years helped a lot. My travel is usually in Coach when flying for business, and in Business when flying for vacation.
Also got a good boost (about 300K) from CC's, which I've been focused on in the last year (thanks to FT!).
Small amount from eShopping, maybe 5K total.
On to 3MM!
