Final roll-call: How many lifetime miles on US?
Now that US no longer officially exists, let's see how many lifetime miles we all had. This includes the 500 mile minimum, but not codeshare or credit card miles. You can call US to get your lifetime mileage.
507,598 here since 2002, almost all personal.

I'd suggest folks wait a day or two before calling; there are still a lot of folks dealing with travel disruptions from the ice and snow over the weekend, and it isn't the greatest use of the phone lines. That said, I will definitely be checking after that

True. Though any true FT'er would have a spreadsheet calculating all the miles.

A bit north of 1.8M BIS since joining the program in 1991, though very few in the last 3 years (last I checked, a few months ago, and I haven't flown US since).
I know I flew Allegheny as far back as 1973, and flew AW without being a member, so maybe as many as 2M total on all the ancestors.

I haven't queried them in a while as to my lifetime total, but it should be around 1.4 million miles since 1995, most incurred in the past 10 years.

Despite being CP for 3 years and gold / silver before that, without codeshare miles from LH and UA, I suspect my number is pretty low.

got the million mile certificate a few years back, so I would say up to about 1 mil 200 to 300 thousand.

I suspect I'm somewhere around 100k. I got a good bit from promos, CoS bonuses, and UA flights (mostly TPACs).
But I only started in 2012.

The real question is...will they combine lifetime miles in US and AA programs to grant AAdvantage lifetime Gold (1MM) or Plat (2MM) or will that entire program be revamped?
I'm 40K shy of 1MM on AA (since many were earned before they switched to requiring MM status miles had to be BIS after 2011), and about 200K on US.
