Bonus miles and additional miles earned through special offers will not count. The Citi Executive(SM) / AAdvantageŽ World Elite(TM) MasterCardŽ credit card account must be open and in good standing by December 1, 2011, and miles must post to billing statements through December 2012. I'm at 350k lifetime, I only started flying about 6 years ago, so 1MM will be achievable at some point in my life, but it severely reduces my incentive to stay loyal to AA. If it takes me 20 years to earn it, I'm not sure that it is really worth it (and who knows what GLD will be by then?). |

And one of the few to allow Million Miler miles accrual on participating airlines.
The CC bit is a nice touch, though expiring it after 12 months is a bit rough, as is only permitting it on the MasterCards and not the AmEx. |

So whether I fly JFK-LAX on a $3000 J/F fare or a $500 S/N fare, the million miler credit is the same? Seriously!? :confused: :( |
Unfortunately, this puts the Aadvantage Million Miler program behind that of United. For 2mm BIS miles at UA, you get lifetime Red Carpet Club membership and for 3mm BIS miles, you get lifetime 1K (Exp equivalent).

So, how do I get 800k miles to reach 2M before 12/1?
-Any more credit card offers? -Transfer SPG pts to AA miles -Open bank direct account, transfer $200k in there -a few mileage runs to PVG -I already have a fidelity account so I can get the 50k miles Any other ideas? |

No, only base miles will count towards Million Miler status.
. I guess it is quite useless to ask AAdvantage to reconsider this point. Cheers! |
I'll be crossing 1mm in Nov. Sounded like I should stop using my Citi AA card so that I will cross in Dec and get extra 35k miles.
|
Ah well, as others have said this was as predicted. Sadly for me, I'm at 920,000 lifetime miles and I don't fly AA much anymore. Guess now it will take me several decades to make it.

Currently, pending the announcement of the new MM program late next month.
Are the current LT members grandfathered in? |
