There's no such thing as lifetime GM, only annual comped at 2MM (so far).

Which you frequently post, but please tell me what the difference is in your mind? Especially since the entire program or any feature thereof can be discontinued with 6 months notice, if I recall the fine print.

I'm pretty sure that my 2MM status will be totally worthless by the time it's needed in retirement which is 3-5 years away. Very disappointed in DL these days.
At least my Lifetime Diamond status with Hilton will mean something.

The "complimentary annual" language has been there for like 8 years now. Every year, someone assures us this can only mean the termination of the program absolutely "imminent" and there can be no other possible explanation. And every year the predictions turn out to be false. All you need to do is look at the recent UA MM class action lawsuit over the use of the term "lifetime" after they changed the benefits to get an idea of what the DL lawyers were likely concerned about when they changed the language. Sure, it may say "Offers and benefits subject to change without notice" in the T&C's. But if you use the term "lifetime" it's not unreasonable to assume those only apply to new MM's, and not existing ones.

You have 2MM - this year? Or lifetime? And complementary annual GM - this comes with reaching 2MM in what time period?
Thank you in advance! :-)

Please forgive what may be a foolish question to most of you, but I'm still learning this and don't always know where else to ask a question.

I am about 140K away from 2MM and it took me 16 yrs of a lot of flying to get there.

I need just 62,744 to reach 2MM. After 32 years of airplanes, I look forward to "Comped Gold". Hope I will be able to enjoy it a short time at least...
