I hit 1MM on a SCL-ATL flight in July. No swag bag, no bottle of wine, and no acknowledgment. I mentioned it as they were taking PDBs that I was going to hit it on this flight and got a shrug.

I received this wallet. Looks like a passport Holder

Nice, that looks significantly better quality than the one I got back in the day.... Should last longer than the 3 months mine did, before it started falling apart too.

Found this on my seat on my first flight after crossing 1MM last year.

I just passed 2M (on a KE flight). I shamelessly mentioned it to the LAX SC agent upstairs when I went to go change my final leg. She smiled and said, congrats. And that was it! I won't lie- having received a pair of Delta socks in an ATL SC for traveling on my birthday, I thought maybe I could score a second pair. Alas

Of all places, I would think LAX would make a note of it. The team there is usually extra-nice. I used to get a card from one sweet lady there each year on my birthday.

On another note, how long does it take AF flights to appear on your Million Miler balance. I flew seven days ago, using a Delta SkyMiles redemption, and still nothing. I have a feeling Delta wants us to forget about it and not notice when it doesn't add up properly.

Ive had CI flights post within 5 days, but recently waiting 30 days and still nothing. My KE flight posted within 24 hours. I do wonder how many miles Ive missed out on through the years due to not monitoring like a hawk.

.
I was getting to 1MM on the second leg of a trip that started at LAX. As i was sitting at the bar, i got a call on my cellphone (showing Delta, so i answered), and they asked if i was still in the lounge. I confirmed, and they came up and found me with a nice little gift bag. Separately, at the end of the first leg, the FA made an announcement about it as well. That was a little much for my introverted personality, but I appreciated the sentiment.

Wow, I have never had KE flight miles post without calling in, and the activity takes 14 to 21 days to post as 0, then I have to call in and get them to post... maybe they fixed it, my last was in December.

Usually my AF miles usually post in 3 to 7 days.

Im now two weeks past my AF flight date and no miles. It's insane how bad this has become. Is the best alternative to message DL via the app? I now have nearly a dozen flights missing DL Million Miler credit, which to me shows they are actively trying to not credit fligths.

I emailed skymiles support through delta.com and asked them to do an audit.

I also find that credit does not post for flights flown on exchanged tickets.

Made 1MM earlier this week, flying DTW-LAX-SFO.

An elite services agent was waiting for me at the gate in DTW with a gift bag; an agent also came on board the LAX-SFO flight after I had boarded, with another (slightly larger) gift bag (this one had a personalized plaque, which was a nice touch).

No inflight recognition on either leg, though (not that I was expecting any - just a DP!).

Because it's just nice and fun, and kinda cool. And they didn't do it and it was sorta sad.

Husband hit 1mm at LAX a few weeks back. Got a call on his phone to come to the lounge for a goodie bag, we were already in the lounge so went over to the desk and he got some chocolates, a notebook, and a luggage grip.
