I suspect MP is going to get an awful lot of phone calls tomorrow!
You were expecting 1.5MM?!?! Remember NO RDM is a part of this adjustment! Only:

*A flights (but likely only since *A founding in late 90s)
DEQM/TEQM/any other EQM promos
MP Plat Visa EQM
COS bonii (but possibly only since ~2004)

Went from 750k to 1.1 mil! All those years in Europe on LH paid off! Now, if UA will officially recognize me as 1MM and I can bump up my spouse.

715k to 1,084,00! Knew it would be around a few hundred thousand, glad I am 1mm now. As said before wish it would recognize me as 1MM so can give spouse for upcoming trip. Wonder how long until system will know?

I estimate I have flown between 1.8 and 2 million Star miles and the lions share of that was in business class and a good bit of F. Right now they show me at 1.6 million. So yes I was expecting another 1.5MM. But I guess a key point is how far back they go with EQM's (or COS). If it is only 2004, then I lose out big time on all the C-RTW's I did before 2004. And all those dozens of LH C and F class LAX-FRA flights I took before 2004.

That's what I want to know. Probably the same as it has worked in the past... say a flight posts that brings you over 1MM...

Was your status instantly changed, or was there a weekly sweep?

I actually forgot which of those happened with 2P, 1P, 1K status during the year....

that is a benefit of the 2012 program and will not start until "late Q1 2012"

You may be able to register sooner (I did a more or so ago) but the benefit will not start for a few months.

BTW, there is no way online to tell if you have achieved 1MM status in the system. The >999,999 "miles" is just an indicator that benefits will be coming -- nothing happens instantly.
Also in strict sense of the word, MM is not a status level and will have (presently) no impact of status / priority / .... except to provide a min level of status.

965k to 1.278m, + 32%

...with another 100k coming from pmco.

It was more than I expected, a bunch of LH flights but a TON on US flights... I think I earned 1k on US segments alone back in 08.

At the end of this year I should be 1.5m.

Yikes! You are missing a lot. You may not get credit for COS pre-2004, nor for LH flights before *A. Maybe UA Insider can pop in here to comment on when different aspects of status miles started counting.

Well UA Insider already posted "we will make a one-time adjustment on the United side to boost everyone’s lifetime earnings to EQMs dating back to the beginning of the program"

The program began well before 2004 so I don't know why I shouldn't get all those EQM's that I paid over a hundred thousand dollars for?
