Thanks for the explanation, JDiver. After reading this and others, although it will take a bit longer than I planed to hit 2MM, I now feel lucky that I am only 200k away and many business travel years left in me. Since there is no lifetime explat, 2MM is really all that matters. thanks again!

Congrats on your MM achievement chewylouie! I'd encourage you to take a few minutes to read-up on all the great information that FTers have already gathered and shared. The FAQ at the top of the forum is a good place to start. It has an entry on the Million Miler program, along with relevant links to other FT threads and our wiki page: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...l#post11822024

Reached 2 Million Miles!!!
Been waiting a long time to send this post. Almost feel like it means more with the program rules changes 
. Flyertalk addiction definitely contributed to the passion for collecting miles. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions along the way.

I was really really happy when I hit 1MM back in 2007, but when I crossed 2MM in 2009 it was a bit of a let down, since as an EXP (by then, for 2 years) I never wanted to travel as a mere PLT ever again!!
confession: I have an addiction to SWUs... is there a 12 step program for that?
