I'll tell you one thing, NYC-PHL-NYC definitely won't get you a million miles in this program :)
(unless you do it every day for like 14 years)

Unless you're cheating the system, the only miles you earrn in this program are BIS miles, so you'll have to do the equivalent of "NYC-PHL-NY every day for like 14 years" (or whatever it is) in travel.

The other thing is, the status you get from earning millions of miles in this program isn't pretty... No walletcandy or anything either.

But once you hit the big number and it resets to all zeros you can sell the car as new!

BIS?

Butt-in-seat, a term referring to airline miles earned from flying, as opposed to miles earned via partners (e.g. CC miles, miles from car rentals, hotels and dining programs, etc. etc. etc.)

BIS also excludes elite bonuses, but not elite minimums, AFAIK.

Biden is considering an executive order to tax million milers and give free flights to the disadvantaged
