That is pretty insane. How many years of flying did it take to reach 6 million?

Yeah, but you are The Man (or The Woman). Well done. I hope to hit 1MM this year.

I got 2 or 3 (I forget) tags when I made EXP. So if they send you 3 every time you qualify, plus new ones every time you cross a new MM threshhold, that probably does it for him...

I think AAdvantage program started in 1981. In the early years I don't believe there was an Executive Platinum level.

Maybe they'll start naming things after their most valued customers. You could end up seeing your likeness on the side of the plane, or a plaque above your favorite seat.

Congrats to you. That is a LOT of rear-in-seat time.

Not necessarily. They could be all CC miles, in theory (not saying that's the case here).

Bingo. That is exactly how I read it. Seems like many folks go for the most complicated possible answer first!
