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.
I just got off the phone with MP. Here is the new program:
1. Gift site will be closed on June 1, 2020
2. Selections need to be made by May 31, 2020
3. Those who achieved MM status before April 2, 2020 can select gift.

Smart move by United. Instead of paying a 3rd party to manage the portal and paying vendors like Apple for expensive gifts, they're shifting to a currency that they own and print! While I understand Kirby gets vilified on FT, I think it's yet another smart modification to MP on United's part.

- 5M LT miles gets 50,000 MP points
Interesting that there is a 5M tier. Let the speculation begin...

Looks like it's a wash. I assume most folks can get at least 1.5 cents/mile of value from MP. My quick analysis:
At 4M, they offer 40,000 miles = $600
A few gift options are:
1. Dewalt 12V 4-tool kit = $600 at Home Depot
2. Apple 10.2 iPad + Apple Pencil = $460 at Apple
3. Tissot Powermatic 80 Watch = List for $630, on-sale for $480

Don't know what to think about this.
I ended flying on March 17 with a total lifetime of 4,996,000 miles. Did I need more tchotchkes? Probably not. Is 50K a decent amount? Who knows? This Lifetime Chairman's Circle is indeed intriguing, however, if true. But I doubt it is.

Are you certain there was not a 5M gift? I thought they gave one every million.
