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.

you go to a link you find on an internet forum and are upset you're denied?

The eligible folks were notified in their annual kit. If you were not notified, perhaps because you were not eligible.

I didn't see it in my 3MM kit...Maybe...it was apart of the second luggage tag that wasn't in my box...

I am glad I found it as I spend little time on the UA site now, (just by chance) to get it...

And the page does say Million Miler, it does not say 2 Million Miler or 3 Million Miler or 4 Million Miler, it says Million Miler. And reading some of the posts it looks like there are different levels of gifts from the people who successfully got the gift.
did anyone from UA provide you the link? no unusally for there to be private web pages on a commerical site.

yes, the gift level for PMUA was different for each level 2MM and above

Selected iPod Touch. I believe only 2MM or higher are eligible for a gift.

Thank you for changing the thread title but where are you getting the information that it is for 2MM and above? And for those just reading for first time original thread did not say 2MM.

Thanks for posting the link. I never got my fancy package, so did not know about it.

I was surprised to find that the Burberry Nova Sling has a retail value of $500.

Why are you so hung up on where I got the link from? It is not relevant to the conversation.

Riedel

It ended up being a toss-up between this and the ipod and while one can never have too many wine accouterments, two ipods would be one too many. And the decanter looks pretty cool and the stemware will last until my housekeeper breaks it by putting it into the dishwasher.

I was kind of hoping for the choice of the SWUs that I would have gotten under the previous program. Alas, none.

Would have preferred the SWUs over the IPOD as well.

For those that haven't received anything, it was given very shortly after you crossed each milestone, and there are different gifts offered for each level.

The coolest gift that I ever received, was about 6 years ago, after the second year in a row that I flew 300K miles each year and took my son-in-law to the DEN flight center and we flew a A320 in the simulator. Also took home all kinds of goodies.

Fly 300K in one year now and you get a Ménage à trois with Hal & Alex!

I'm not an Apple fan (except for their stock!), but I chose the engraved iPod today, as the site is now active again. Will give it to some neighbor's kid as a nice gift perhaps (or more likely just keep it to try Facetime with the one friend who uses this, as the program doesn't run on any other architecture :-)

Thanks for posting about this. I hadn't known about this offer.

None of the 2MM gifts were really great for us, so I went with the decanter and glasses. Given the quality of wine we drink, the former isn't necessary but is still nice. As for the latter, Mr. Butterfingers here seems to have an occasional need for new wine glasses now and then.
