I ordered my 2MM gift on Feb 19 -- selected the Tumi V3 international. Arrived on Feb 26. I got around to opening the box today -- looks nice and is pretty light. Will "test" pack it with my normal travel load and then decide whether to keep or sell.
I've been doing all my traveling (including a 5 week trip that went to Vietnam and Australia in August, so summer and winter) with an e-bags Weekender Convertible that I paid $79 for in 2011. (Ebags replaced has replaced it twice, lifetime warranty -- once because a handle was ripped by the airlines, once because a seam ripped on the inside.) No wheels but that keeps me packing light.
So I need to decide if I really want to have wheeled luggage. I still have the Hartmann that I got when I hit 1 MM -- maybe used it once, but it isn't a carry on.
I doubt I'll make it to 3MM.

Hit the Million-Miler-Milestone!
Hit Million Miler today! Leaning towards the Hartmann InnoVaire but the TUMI V3 is also appealing. Let me know if anyone has either and any good/bad feedback.

I chose the Hartman bag. It's good quality and glides nicely but I like my Costco carryon better. The suitor on this isn't very good and it snaps in at the bottom of the bag. I like my Costco carryon because the suitor zips in the lid and it makes it a lot more convenient if I land from a redeye on a flight and want to take a shower at the airport, the way the suitor is on this bag it would mean unpacking the bag if I have something in the suitor I want to wear.
It is also a little too big to fit in the bins on some RJ's.
This is a nice bag if you are only travelling for a few days and don't need the suitor.

I took the Tumi V3 for the light-weight as my 2MM gift, although the Innovaire may be about the same.
I took a Hartmann for my 1MM gift -- nice bag, but heavy and not a carry on.

Just got 1MM last night!
It would be cool to get 2MM in my lifetime but it will be cutting it close.
Here are the gifts that were offered to me.

TUMI suitcase was eliminated as an option for 1MM awhile back, and I've been waiting for it to return. Looking back, I wished that I had selected my gift when I had the chance. I'm hoping that it gets refreshed and there's another rollaboard offered soon.

MM mileage instead of gift cut in half
They've also just degraded the miles offered from 40k to 20k as well for non USA residents - so I agree, wish I'd redeemed a few years back when the Tumi was still available OR last year when 40k miles were available - disappointing how they keep making MM less and less rewarding

I hit 1MM last night. What happens next —- an email or snail mail from Delta? My Delta account has already updated. I’ve earned only about 15K MQM so far this year but am now listed as Silver for 2020. Any word on the most recent gift offering? Although my SM account page shows the updated status I am still not able to access the gift page.
