It'll be very tough. Only other real option is transferring in points through SPG or DC
is there a fee to transfer DC to AA

Yes. Something like .001 or .0009.

OK. I got an email from AA that because I have the million lifetime miles I now reached gold status. Some questions. First, what are the great benefits? I looked at the list. Didn't seem that great. Also, does my wife get the same benefits like better checkin (I think thyat was one of them), free luggage, etc. when she's with me? Also, I remember something about using a foreign address. What was that good for. And am I out of luck because they said they're already sending me a package?
So what are all the great things, understanding that I don't travel more than once or twice a year.
I did get the 75000 extra miles for each of 4 credit cards (thank you again, Dan!) and we"re IYH going to Israel in the summer business class on ElAl. But then again, I don't suppose using mileage on another airline gives you anything for being AA Gold status?
Can anyone help me out here?

How do you use SWU? Can you use on anyone? I have 800k AA miles and 140K SPG points, Not sure whether I should go for 1M AA miles.

To get lifetime status - do I have to actually fly 1 million miles, or can it come  from credit card sign up bonuses?

Just transferred 60K SPG to my wife's AA account to get her to MM.  Couldn't hold out any longer.
Hopefully it posts before any changes.

Just watch AA not make any changes and then launch an incredible SPG transfer option on 05/05...

Don't the names on the AA account and SPG account need to match to transfer?
