(2) DL (Amex) and US (Visa) offer credit cards with status mile bonuses for large annual purchases. I have read that US allows multiple credit cards, so three 10K status mile bonuses (for $75K in purchases) would give you Silver status.
I only found: for Amex delta platium, you'll earn 15,000 bonus SkyMiles (5,000 of which are Medallion Qualification Miles) the first time you make a purchase..where did u get this 10k status mile for 75k purchase?
thanks.

Preferred Miles. Spend $25,000 or more in net purchases each calendar year and 10,000 of those miles you've earned will be counted as Preferred miles, which help you qualify for Preferred Membership status in the Dividend Miles program.

Thanks.

New offer from UA that I learned about today: When you reach 125K status miles, you can designate someone else as Premier. Maybe UA read this thread.

Thank you for the reply and the information.
I guess some are luckier then others It ends the mystery !
Not only did we not recieve them but the uninformed representitives and supervisors were clueless as to when they would come. It was a struggle to get our original sign up miles. While we signed up for the 10 k offer they refused the 15 k offer that was featured shortly after. There was another issue but we gave up finally and went elsewhere.
Other banks in the past were far more helpful as long as you could submit documentation of the better offer.
Of course they are fully within their rights to say no.
And we did too with our future spending.

After trawling around the other boards, I've added DL Amex's 5K MQM signup bonus and BA silver status for buying a Jaguar. UA allows one Premier designation for 125K status miles. Also, NW has a convoluted "Platinum Points" program, whereby NW Platinum members who accrue 1200 points can designate a Silver NW member, or 2400 points for a Gold member. You get Platinum Points for travel in Y class and above: http://www.nwa.com/features/platpoints.html
I did add AA rail codeshares from Paris and Frankfurt on German Rail, SNCF and Thalys, but posts on the AA board suggest that you won't get the AA miles without a connecting AA flight, so I've deleted that.
