Sad to say my 3MM trip was a fail of epic, one might say United - proportions. Nothing happened at all. I was seated in 1B. After a while through the flight I asked the FA how they usually handled/found out about these things. She checked her handheld and was appalled. She told me it was the responsibility of the station supervisory team to bring it to the crew's attention. She was most upset and said she was going to report it (add that to the list of things people were going to report that United didn't do). For me, this was a pretty big emotional let down (although she did tell the pilot, who came back and thanked me). I never got to "celebrate" 2 MM as I passed it administratively when the Continental miles were added to the United program. Given that I'm now lifetime 1K and I'll never get to 4MM, I'm feeling like the golden handcuffs are loosening and I might just start flying on the most convenient airline (especially if Delta keeps leaving open space in back).
