million milers?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I was not sure where to put it.

I know that American's "Million Mile club" includes all miles (from credit cards, shopping with partners, etc). Are there any other airlines that do this, or are all the others only 1 million EQM?

Yes
Yes other airlines do have million miler status.

For Delta,
1MM - Lifetime Silver Medallion
2MM - Lifetime Gold Medallion
4MM - Lifetime Platinum Medallion

I believe AA is the only one that counts every mile earned. All the others are based (to some forumlas) on flight milage.

Yea that's what I was thinking too, cause some airlines are required strictly BIS. AA is the only one, to my knowledge, combines everything miles from credit cards, etc to million miler.

And for lifetime status 1MM at UA (actual flights on UA metal) is the equivalent of 2MM at AA (with miles from all sources).

Since this topic is better served in MilesBuzz! than Mileage Run, I have moved your thread over there.

Kind Regards

Thanks, I was thinking the same as well. The airlines websites are not too clear on the details.

That makes sense; I guess it balances out somewhat in the end.
