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.

4mm ones won't do anything for you either...... I am beginning to think the lists are put together by the people
who choose the contents of the snack boxes

I saw these in a display in the ANA lounge at HND. Wouldn't it be nice if UA gave out something like this at every MM milestone!

Reminded me of a program by Mercedes where they give you a grill ornament for passing 250,000K 500,000Km, etc. It's designed to mount on a car grill, but many proudly display it somewhere inside the house. The luggage tag would be similar!

Personally I have had excellent use from my Thule Subterra 22" Carry-On - Mineral.
It is a perfect overnight bag and I don't even bring my electronics bag, everything fits into this one nicely.

I guess it works if you're carrying significant clothing. It doesn't work for me because I mainly have professional tools/equipment in my carry-on.

I'll be hitting my 2MM in late Oct, on a return flight from CUN. Not at all excited about the choices, would have to decide which of my relatives/friends could use one of those!

It came without the tag.

I contacted UA, and they explained the tag was discontinued (and that I could make my own).

My wife made 2 MM on November 27th on the way to Beijing. The FA told her that she had heard that United had ceased giving gifts. The FA gave her a bottle of galley wine as a consolation prize.

Any truth to the cessation of gifts?

My FIL his 3 mil about a week ago. When he clicks on the link in the wiki it just shows him the confirmation from his 2M gift and does not offer a new gift......

It takes about 2 weeks for the gift link to show the recently earned status.

Looks like my company's 10 year anniversary gift selection, complete with the token power tools. I wasn't impressed. Wife picked luggage set for herself.

Took a week for the email from Oscar to get to me with the working link to the gift page. I got the chromebook.
