What is unclear is, are elite bonus miles included in the balance? In other words, depending upon the elite level, each flight earns bonus miles. Were those elite flight bonus miles to have been included under the "bonus EQM" definition? Sorry if this has been answered, but I went through multiple threads but did not get it, nor did I get it form reading the UAL releases.
Indeed, I've gotten the elite bonuses for years, so if they counted my bump would have been waayyy over the 150K I did get.

maybe not
Might not be. Credit card spend per se, doesn't count. Hitting annual spending thresholds would, with a UA Platinum Chase Visa, but then again that only gave a 5K annual EQM pop or up to 5K for UAL.com purchases with the card, and then that has only been about the last decade maybe at most. You must have had some DEQM's or premium fares, or partners in that time period to make up 250K EQM's

My bump
Went from about 750,000 to 1.1 MM. I guess all those times cramped up in LH paid off! However, when I try to register my spouse for my benefits it says that I am not a MM. Just a computer glitch? Call the 1k desk or am I missing something. My spouse gets Premier for life if I'm a MM...is that correct?

You are incorrect. She gets premier gold for life, and if your status during any year exceeds premier gold, she will have that same status.

Her lifetime, your lifetime, or, for that matter, the lifetime of this particular program?

"All 2012 Million Milers will be able to share their lifetime status annually with a spouse or significant other."

I will be trying to nominate my wife every day until it works. Then I will log into her account every day until she shows as a 1k.

United Club now for 2MM?
I apologize asking this because I am sure it has been covered elsewhere but my lifetime was just adjusted from 1.8M to 2.255M so do I now get United Club for life as previously mentioned for 2MM benefit under the previews programs?

The spouse/significant other has been touted as a "replacement" for the one-time SWUs and annual Regionals, the new 1 MM mileage bonus is reduced from 100% to 50% and will go up to 75% when you hit 2 MM, and new 2 MMers will no longer receive complimentary RCC/United Club membership.
Game on indeed.

Fwiw, 400k was the turning point for me when I started to believe I would make 1mm. The key is obviously to be a 1k each year.
