May 2020
We’re making some changes to the Million Miler program. Starting May 4, 2020, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be giving bonus miles for each Million Miler level achieved above 1 million miles. As a result, we will be retiring our gift site and ask that if you wish to select a gift you do so by May 31, 2020. If no gift is selected, we will deposit bonus miles into your account to show our appreciation for your continued loyalty.

Finally Received My iPad from Oscar

My gift from Oscar finally arrived last month. You would think they would issue a special 1K card for life time 3 MMers. The card in the block of plastic looks like trash. One would think they would have given it more thought. No extra benefits for life time 3MMer other than the 6 GPUs in January. All the years of United loyalty from me and my staff going out of our way to stick with United and now this. Probably the Global Service flyers don't get much either for hitting 4MMer.

Do you get 2 RPUs upon hitting 2 MM?

I'm sure this is addressed somewhere above, and I apologize for not finding it if it is.
I'll be hitting 2 MM in a few months. Will I get 2 RPUs at that time (mid-2019) or will I have to wait until 1/20? [I will not otherwise qualify for Platinum].

Thanks!

What about the gift of lifetime 1K status???? [Moderator edit.] Why don’t you just close your MP account if you think you’re being treated so horribly?

RPUs && GPUs for eligible Lifetime elites are awarded at the end of the year if you do not otherwise earn that level and certs during the year.

Some of these items won’t available for me to choose when I crossed 4 MM in Dec 2017.

Hope there will be more choices when I make to 5 MM in two to three years time.

Just notice this thread - thanks for the heads up. Made 2MM a couple of years ago and never received any special notification or missed it in the mail.
I thought I try the link that was posted. Came up as "Offer expired". But there was a link to ask for 30-day extension, starting today. The gift selection came up, and made my selection.
I had always wonder why United never made any special gift or acknowledgement for reaching the 2MM mark.

Just Made 2M

Yesterday made 2M, SFO-IAD.

FAs on flight (and previous HNL-SFO) thanked me and offered me free food and drinks. It was nice.

[Waiting now for gift email—gift link doesn’t yet work.]

Congrats! I received an email with the gift link about a week after hitting 4MM (and the selected gift came a week later!), and the new MP card came yesterday (one month after).

When I hit 2MM, I got an ipod and then at 3MM, it was a Tumi duffel bag. No recognition on the milestone flights but, then again, I didn't tell the FAs so how would they know?

This was old-fashioned BIS miles. I figured it would be like flying from HNL to SFO every month for 52 years.

Won't hit 4MM since I fly Alaska given the erosion of the MP program.
