2MM from AMM-LHR
Finally hit 2mm. Started with AA in 1998 back when they actually were the largest carrier in BOS...my how times have changed. AA's a niche carrier at BOS now, and B6 is the best option.
Hit 1mm in 2006, and 2mm this year. Lots of CC miles, but also lots of miles with CX and recently RJ back and forth to Asia and the ME. Nice that I can now earn AA miles flying BA to LHR (which I actually prefer), but the stupid fuel surcharges on BA have really reduced the value of redeemable miles.
Knowing my travel karma, I fully expect that now that I've hit 2mm, the lifetime benefits will be changed or watered down, so when the eventual announcement comes, you can blame me.

Crossing over double digit BIS this Saturday
no expectations other then the normal MM passage goodies - probably one of the last under the pure banner of AA pre merger. Just a statement that some of us have been with AA a long time.

Do you mean 10MM? If so, this is huge. Congrats. Please let us know when the milestone will occur so that we can drink a toast in your honor even if nothing much is done on your actual flight.

10MM BIS is insane. If you don't mind me asking, how high is your lifetime count (since AA counted all miles until a couple years ago)? I'm guessing you're up above 15MM.

Yes - Insane
quite a bit lower then your guess - I will say that I've USED over 9.5 million miles over the years - it is the best program of them all. When they changed how the count was made for lifetime and MM roll overs - I didn't think i would make it - I happened to have a very busy few years..... making it to 11 mm bis not sure I see that coming -and I would wander way off topic to discuss. Thanks.

While I've never climbed them, I would have to say your achievement is almost equivalent to climbing all 14 8000 meter mountains of the world w/out the use of oxygen..."rarefied air" I say..

Actually BIS has never been separated out until this latest change in 2011. It's a muddled mess. I don't remember the early days - I don't believe bonus miles were part of the formula - and credit card miles didn't exist. I doubt even AA could tell someone their true BIS. What I do know is since November 2011 - with a LONG way to go to the next level of MM - I was in the air quite a bit. Both business and pleasure.

Under the post Dec. 2011 counting system (BIS only), to reach 10 MM (if one flew 100,000 miles per year) would (now) take 100 years.
[The lifetime levels have a proviso: "for the life of the program"--post merger, how long will that be?]

10 MILLION MILES - BIS - now over the mark
Million Milersm Balance** 10,001,059
Somewhere over Kansas Saturday night.
When the 'change" came in November 2011 - I was just over 500,000 needed. Lot of time at 36,000 ft.
Also a "go a round" at LAX - no extra miles for the missed approach. :-)
