By less than 100% EQM, that's also less than 100% (base) RDM, right? Because if you earn 70/50/30% miles, it's only going to increment the MM counter by that much (or nothing, if it's a non-mile-earning fare on one of the ones like CX where low fare buckets earn 0.)

AA has begun talking about "base miles" - upon which EQM etc. are calculated. IMO it's probably not a bad term to use, as some flights might earn 70% base miles - rendering 70/50/30% EQM and LTMs. (Maybe or not the status bonus RDM, depending on the airline and if they grant status bonus miles - but they would also be calculated on the "base miles".)
E.g. on a sub-H fare on CX, 0 base miles to calculate the rest of it on.
We now seem to have haveI may be missing something here? Makes me want to have, an, er, BM.
E.g. on a sub-H fare on CX, 0 base miles to calculate the rest of it on.
We now seem to have have
- BASE MILES
- ELITE QUALIFYING MILES (essentially the same as BMs in most cases)
- REDEEMABLE MILES
- BONUS MILES
- LIFETIME MILES

It was an intra-Europe flight on Air Berlin, so I earned 500 RDM/EQM but my million miler count only went up by 200 or so.

Interesting. I did not realize that the 500 mile minimum, where applicable, did not apply to lifetime miles. I've usually have a couple of months with nothing but in-California flights where I'd have noticed that, but this was not a typical year for me.

I tried to slow down million miler accrual as much as possible during the fall months, so that I would get the 4 SWUs in the new year, but I was flying too fast and overshot.
I just crossed over the 4MM mark. I'm sure it'll be quite a while before I hit 5MM. :-)#

Probably another 10 years for LTP (assuming annual EXP requal trend), 15 years for me:
Million Milersm Balance** 527,738
Program to Date Miles 688,142
I'd prefer if I never knew there was a lifetime program ... for something that was a motivation at one time ... started on that path just before they f'd it up.

New card after 1MM?
Once AA acknowledges the 1MM status by depositing the 35K RDM in your account, how long (or do they) does it take to get a new AA card with the MM status added?
While I understand the economic underpinnings of the "new" MM program, I am still disappointed that nothing is done to recognize flying in premium cabins.
Happy wandering
