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.

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.
I'm at ~750K and was moving towards 1MM. As soon as the MP devaluation was announced I stopped booking UA and moved to AS. That's not to say I won't fly UA at all, but much less now. It will be interesting to see how the airlines react in the next downturn.

I almost missed mine because for me there was nothing interesting on the pick list and forgot about it.
There are Burberry Items, hand /small cabin luggage(not even a decent roller board) Dewalt tools , Fashion items, I ended up with an IPad which I donated to one of the kids
Sounds ungrateful I know but you would think they would have more of a range

There is this report from last year

If you get anything else, please please let me know so I can retroactively claim it!

Was on a flight the other day and the FA said I had a star next to my seat on her phone app. She clicked on it and it said something like "2 Million Mile Flight"...so they do know. Oddly, it was not my 2M mile flight (1.999M mile flight). Will hit 2M on Friday, will ask if there is a star next to my name on that flight if the FAs seem nice.

3 Million Mile award/ a Second?

Reached 3 million miles last years and was given many items to choose from. I took the Tumi Briefcase.
I received the case about March this year.
As I work from home I do not use the Briefcase daily.
After only 8 weeks of actual use, I notice the seams are ripping out on the side of the briefcase.
Has anyone else had this issue? Are they giving 2nds for the award products?

Looking for any feedback
Thanks

Go to any Tumi store and they will fix or replace. It's not a UA issue.

Electronics is a weird gift given they are paperweights within 1-2 years for a lifetime status.

22” carry on is too big for many non US airlines.

at 950k so this is all theoretical for me for some time.
