If the BIS is verrrry infrequent, what do you need the status for?

Btw, better to do SPG transfers in segments of 20k. That way you get the 5k bonus on every 20k.
In the same vain, (generally) spending on SPG and transferring to AA will come out better then just using the AA card.

Because BIS revenue tickets are infrequent, but BIS reward tickets may not be.

This is not all doom and gloom. Any points earned prior to December 1st will count forever towards 1 million. So, if you have 600k now, and at some point in the future earn 400k from flying, you'll have your million. Depending on your situation, may still be worth trying to gather as many as you can before the deadline.

Except that for 2012, transferring miles from SPG won't count toward MM, but spending on that Citi card will...

Is anyone going to get the new Executive citi card? I just got the biz card, but I'm going to apply for personal Amex and visa... Should I apply for executive too?

sounds cool, but what exactly is a 500 mile upgrade? I know it's for paid fares only, but what is the upgrade to?

I only got 4 SWU's, not 8 stickers, should I call to ask for 35,000 miles?

I had just reached 1mm with AA:) Dan, thanks for your help accumulating miles and notifying us that AA is nixing their old policy.
I changed my address to an Israeli address in-order to get the 4 international upgrades. Do they come in the mail? If I later change back to an American address do the 8 domestic upgrades come in the mail?

Upgrades are all electronic.

Getting the extra 8 is YMMV.

It makes sense to say that it's best to switch your address back to the US as soon as the upgrades post.
