If you are looking for airport staff to throw you a party and shower you in Dom and Caviar, you probably haven't been flying united much.
Mileage Plus and the Million Miler program is still the best in the market compared to the ceilings that American and Delta have installed on their plans. The United benefit is that you can conceptually rise to lifetime GS and have it gifted to your spouse/SO. No other program does this. I am not defender or apologist for United by any stretch of the imagination. But after the royal screwing I received on the AA/US million miler merger and the worthless SkyPeso program, it is still the best, despite the terrible devaluations UA has made over the past year.

Its been a number of years, but UA offered me (and Mrs. 1KPath who also crossed 4MM a few months after I did) a choice of a number of nice gifts which included personalized luggage, MacBooks, jewelry, and other electronics which I don't remember.
We were loyal to UA for nearly 35 years...and for most of that time it was a two way street...Sadly this ended with the merger... the FF plans we experienced in the 70s, 80s and 90s are long gone and loyalty to anyone but oneself is just plain foolish!

Please let me know if the bag comes with a United logo on it or not?
I'm thinking of getting the Tumi Alpha 2 Compact Large Screen Laptop Briefcase, and I'm wondering if it will come with the MP 2MM markings on it.

Yes it comes with two links, one to "select your companion"and one to "select your gift". You have to login in and you can select a different address to send it to. They say it comes UPS and you have to sign for it. They also say they will email the tracking info when it is sent.

I will let you know, but I don't think it will as it isn't pictured. I think the Kate Spade logo might make the gift worth more.

FWIW, the Kate Spade tote appears to cost around $268 in the stores, whereas the Tumi laptop bag seems to cost $355. I'm comparing apples to oranges but those are the retail value of those gifts.

My link was also down since it said my 3MM gift had been shipped. Contacted someone at Willis who had it fixed. Selected mini ipad (wifi only version) which includes case and ear buds headphones. Just received e-mail one month later they are on the way.
