Worldperks to Skymile Million Miler Status
nw worldperks does not have a million miler status. however, delta skymiles does. any idea how that will be managed? i have 2.1+ million lifetime miles, but no idea how many flown miles i have. lets say 1 million to make this post worth while. would nwa/delta be able to calculate my miles flown back 2 decades? how would they convert that for the lifetime miler status. i am sure that many of you assume that the whole thing will be scrapped or at least the wp folks will get the shaft, but i want to believe this might be a new benefit for the wp fliers. Just not sure how this will happen.
I didn't see any other posts on this aspect of the merger, hope i didn't miss it somewhere.

They don't know (yet)
In an idle moment, I called to see what my lifetime actual miles are and it is 816,902 (Total Mileage Since Enrollment 2,337,943) - less than I thought.
I asked if these would be consolidated with my DL miles (Total miles: 35,576) and DL Million Miler status and she said "we don't know yet."

Actually, NW does have million miler status -- called MillionAire (I am one). However, the one-time perks are quite small -- a nice luggage tag, a pen, and a Hyatt gift certificate IIRC. Do a search on this forum and you'll see this discussed in multiple threads.
There has been some communication from Delta about recognizing NW and DL million milers, but no specifics have been given.
By the way, welcome to FlyerTalk, mspnw1993.

Yes -- for me the difference between hitting it this year or next?

NW is lifetime flight miles, DL is (I believe) Lifetime MQM (i.e. EQM) which poses another interesting question when they merge.
I am just over 1MM flight miles (got my luggage tag last fall) and just over 2MM program miles. (I flew a lot back in the day when the bonus for Gold was 25%)

I'm not certain about the applicability here but when CO instituted its MM program it went all the way back and counted miles from Eastern.

I'm sort of in the same boat myself.
If DL & NW combine my accounts today I will have just over 1MM EQM.
However, I am highly likely to hit 1MM EQM on NW alone this summer. I wonder if my status will get "lost" in the combination of the programs. When DL gets my account info and merges it with their system they may assume that NW already sent me my MM credentials. Maybe they have, maybe they haven't.
I don't really care so much about a pen and the other things people have mentioned here. I'm hoping DL comes up with something unique to identify their MM'ers and I hope they recognize me as one when the programs merge.

This comes from an email today:
As you probably know, the SkyMiles(R) and WorldPerks programs will fully merge later this year. We will communicate the exact integration date in the closing months of 2009, and at that time, all account data - mileage balances, Elite Qualification Miles, Elite Qualification Segments, Medallion(R) Qualification Miles, Medallion Qualification Segments and lifetime balances - will be consolidated.
So I'm hopeful.

I agree with the tealeaves, but it says 'all account data' with reference to what is listed subsequently. Lifetime status is one of the few things remaining that would keep loyal to DL/NW for a couple more years. So I really hope they read this thread and listen to what their customers have to say.
