It's bloody random, get over it 
I joined in the days when you could tear out a membership card from a flyer in the seat back pocket - they were already numbered, and that's the number I still have today.
Code:
CreateMember()
{
MemberId newId = new MemberId();
do
{
newId.Identifier = new Random().Next(10000000, 99999999);
} while (newId.IsDuplicate);
...do stuff here
}

Aha! Memories come flooding back...
I originally enrolled in 1992 but the account only lasted for a solitary year. This was back in the day when super apex fares earned diddly-squat.

Ah, but those were the days though. No points for tier level and it took about a year after they started issuing BA/First USA credit cards before it twigged that they were giving miles on cash advances!

I joined in around 2001 or 2002 and am 48xxxxxx. Signed my parents up within a few minutes of each other recently and they are both 18s. However their final digits are 11 numbers apart as well.

I was about to say that I recollect I got my number from a Highlife mag application from and it starts with a 32. in the late 90s. My partner's card was from one of the card application from from the front of a domestic flight and it starts with 22. Might be to do with where the numbers come as well. The card numbers were on the application form itself, not assigned after the submission of the application form.
