Lifetime Gold / Platinum with NEW Million Miler Program!
(or crossed another million mile threshold- program since 01 Dec 2011)

Congratulations to our new Lifetime Gold and Platinum members!

AAdvantage® Million MilerSM program, a summary:

. . . • As of 1 Dec 2011, base miles earned by flying on AA, its affiliate carriers* or any eligible AAdvantage program participating airline will count towards Million Miler status. (Mileage minimum guarantees do not count, nor do class of service, etc. bonus miles.)

. . . • Citi ExecutiveSM / AAdvantage® World Elite™ MasterCard® credit card account holders spending $40,000 in one calendar year will earn 10,000 EQ Miles*.

. . . •

AAdvantage Members will enjoy the following benefits when Million Miler status is reached:

. . . • At one million (1,000,000) Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Gold® status and 35,000 AAdvantage bonus miles**

. . . • At two million (2,000,000) Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Platinum® status and four (4) one-way systemwide upgrades

. . . • At each additional Million Miler mark, AAdvantage members will receive four (4) additional one-way systemwide upgrades. (No additional status is earned.)

. . . • All members' beginning Million Miler balance on 1 Dec 2011 included every AAdvantage mile ever earned in the program.

. . . • As of 1 Dec 2011, Million Miler activity is displayed in your AAdvantage account on AA.com separately from award miles.

*One mile for every dollar spent on eligible purchases using the new Citi ExecutiveSM / AAdvantage® World Elite™ MasterCard® credit card that posted to billing statements through December 2012 counted toward Million Miler status*. The Citi ExecutiveSM / AAdvantage® World Elite™ MasterCard® credit card account had to have been open and in good standing by December 1, 2011.

Thanks CMK10, it took a while to get there, especially when AA changed the rules, (account shows 2.7M) but happy to be there

Crossover the 1MM mark back in Oct 2011 and finally crossed over the 2MM mark October of this year! If it weren't for the flyer talk community this second milestone would have come much much later. Thanks everyone!

Sign @ JFK today: Congratulations Steven D on reaching 4 million miles!

I got off AA608 today from CLT to JFK and on the jet bridge was an official AA sign saying the above.

Is this a new thing?

Congrats to Steve D!

Never heard of such a practice. There must be dozens of people who cross new MM marks every day. Someone pulled a few strings.

Yeah, probably someone who thought it was an extremely rare accomplishment.

I would rather get the swu's than a stupid, embarrassing sign on a jet bridge!

Congratulations sdix for approaching 8 million miles!

Thats a lot of time in a seat.

Some one thought enough of that person to put up a sign.

The worker did it, not the company.

The costumer probably took the time to be nice to an employee,

Just a form of appreciation...nothing special...

You actually do get 4 SWU's for crossing that milestone as well.

This guy tweeted AA and told them, that's how the airport team knew. I bet most of his miles came from credit card spending anyways.

Was flying UA ORD-AMS once... The FA came on the PA as we approached AMS saying "congrats to one of our flyers for flying his 4 millionth mile"... Or something like that. Most I've seen!
