Today is my first day as a 2MM PLT, Yah! Made it by the mythical Oct 01, 2010 program change deadline! Now the wait is on for the EVIPs and the recognition email, giving me written confirmation that I am now LT PLT.

Could not have done it without flyertalk.

Time to 1MM 1996-Feb 2009
Time from 1MM to 2MM Feb 2009 - Sept 2010

Just crossed 1MM mark after 7 years of flying, making (not easily) PLT every year 2003 - 2010. Couldn't have done it without FT.

Now, forgive my ignorance but is there a thread detailing the Oct 1, 2010 program changes? I see many references to it here but not many details. Thanks

No thread in particular, no fact supporting it, that is why I qualified it as I did.

The countdown is on. In a few hours we will know if the Oct 1st date was just BS or useful insight only available here on FT. Place your bets gentlepeople and get your miles in... Let the final speculation begin.!!!!!

No, it is not. You must have gotten one of the new, post program change, packets. After Oct 1st only MILLON miles count. You must have passed a million PTD miles and were grandfathered in. Your Million miles were converted to Millon miles.

2MM! woot!

2,002,634, to be exact.

I got the "congratulations on your achievement" email, but haven't gotten the package in the mail yet. Have been a member since 1988 but really didn't use AA a whole lot until about 2000. Took me from 1988-2006 to make 1MM, though really I went from about 100,000 lifetime miles to 1MM in 2000-2006.

The 2nd MM was way easier.

I'm finding the reverse to be true, at least initially.

All of the good one-time promos are gone for me. I can churn some, but not Fidelity or Ameritrade or Citibank (for me). I was hoping #2 would be easier, but so far, I seem to be stuck in idle.

Millon in Hebrew means "dictionary". Perhaps they could have looked up the spelling, if they were unsure?

I am theoretically over 2MM but in reality stuck at 1.936,000.
I have 50,000 SPG miles and 16,000 purchase bonus miles pending - all done before the anticipated "doomsday" of Oct 1st.
Now I just have to wait for them to post and hope that nothing changes before they do.
Then I will celebrate for real.
Could not have done it without FT^ - thanks.

What date did the over 2MM PTD port to your account?
What date did you get your email?

How'd you do the second million in less than 20 months? (IE: how much flying vs. CC. vs. hotel transfer, etc.)
