You remain Lifetime PLT. There is no lifetime EXP.
You get some new luggage tags with the 3MM in the circle. And a new EXP card.
You get 4 additional threshold eVIPs (just like at 2MM and 4MM and 5MM and all subsequent MM thresholds) that are the same as your EXP ones. They may take up to two weeks to post as this is a different cycle than the EXP qual/requal processing.
You are better than a 2MMer in your mind! Tho not in any other priority (ala upgrade list) standpoint!
You will also need to change your special EXP/2MM handshake and co-member greeting. This comes in the Congrats Package.
Thinks thats about it. Now REMEMBER when you get your new luggage tags, when you put the item in the overhead compartment, make certain that the 3MM luggage tag is clearly visible to all others as they walk thru the cabin. Even better, work it so that the tag hangs out of the overhead a little bit and the FA has to move it so that the bin can be shut!

Of course if she doesn't move it - she'll just shut the bin on it and crack the tag

Congrats in advance on 3MM; just went over 2mm a few weeks back. Yep, as Blumie said, you get a nice e-mail from Kurt Stache:
Dear fredmartens,
Congratulations on reaching the next Million Miler level!
As the millions of miles add up, there are fewer members who earn this special designation. In just a few weeks you'll receive a new elite membership card that acknowledges your multi-Million Miler status - plus some other gifts we think you'll enjoy.
We are gratified by your dedication and confidence in us. Thanks for your commitment to American Airlines and the AAdvantage program.
Yours truly,
Kurt Stache
President

hey guys!
At least AA acknowledges our achievement! Other airlines apparently do nothing. In my book something is better than zero! Besides, i quite liked getting the e-mail.

The thing I think is pretty funny about the e-mail (I got one in Sept crossing 4MM) is that the e-mail does not drop in the NUMBER of million miles you have crossed!
Congratulations on reaching the next Million Miler level
Pretty poor merge programming!
Kinda takes the wind out of your sales as you open the e-mail to find a 'generic' almost mass mail quallity e-mail!! Congratulations.. you um . .. well .. um .. you did something 'special' but we dont care enough about it to tell you HOW special it was!
