A couple of years ago I was achieving 2MM status while on a flight from CUN to EWR. While boarding, I was motioned aside and congratulated by the ground staff. On board — (I had already been upgraded to F due to Lifetime Gold/1MM), nothing other than a normal flight. What are these coins you’re all talking about? I did get a gift choice from United and a small plexiglass plaque. Oh, I also got Platinum for Life!
