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.
4. Those achieving status as of April 3, 2020 must take miles.

I crossed 2MM last month and choose the gift today. First, I received a new card, drink chits, a laminated card in a kind of desk paperweight....but the 4 main gifts offered were a Tumi shoulder bag (laptop stye bag), a Kate Spade woman's bag, a sports watch that tracked your workouts - good looking but I forget the brand, and a Kindle tablet.
However, I haven't received anything else.
I did get a bit of attention on the flight. The captain announced my name, the milestone and seat number.... a bit embarrassing-congratulations and condolences
from the passengers next to me.

Just crossed 2 million last week - I got a nice email today congratulating me for crossing 2 million miles and offering a gift of choice. When I followed the link to select the gift, it asked me to log in and I got this message:
Gee, thanks a million!

They have extended the qualification requirements for the 2MM program to 2.2M miles. In the near future they will reward on lifetime PQDs instead.

I just crossed 2MM and am truly shocked with the lack of acknowledgement for this degree of loyalty. My husband and I were seated in business class on a flight from ORD-MUC. We were approached by a woman bearing a bottle of wine. She introduced herself as a purser for the First Class Lounge, saying that they were waiting for us in the lounge to celebrate this flight. I asked simply how we were to know we were expected there, because we were booked in business class--not first class. She said "Well, that is a good point, but anyway, we've brought you this nice wine from the First Class Lounge. We were connecting from Munich, and there was no way we could take it with us--and--a bottle of cheap wine? Really? For 2MM miles? Then, we were visited by the captain who had written a note for us, as well as our very own flight attendant. My point is that the staff did the very most they could to make this a special occasion. But, the real point is that on my very next flight--a day after returning from this one--my RPU did not clear on an ORD-LAX flight because of the TOD buy-ups from anyone and everyone who was not an elite flyer. The 2MM gifts were ridiculous--sort of like what you get after you work in the same job for 10 years and get to select from 5 worthless gifts.
United needs to either do something with this program (ideas: unrestricted changes in flight itineraries without service fee, priorities for first class upgrades, an additional nominee for premier status) or else let it go. My main incentive for the last 100,000 miles was to reach 2 MM so that I had priority Group 1 boarding and Economy + for life. Now, my plan is to not fly united on any flight that does not have direct connections, a mainline rather than a regional jet, and a real business class with direct aisle access and decent food, wine and coffee. I've flown United international very little in the last year because the 777s are abysmal.

There's no way I'd like that to happen.
I also wonder what other airlines do in this situation.

Sounds like they went out their way to acknowledge you but it didn't meet your expectations. As you can see from many other experiences from this thread, a lot of people don't even get an ounce of recognition

MM status has never been advertised as playing a part in upgrade ordering. How do you know that you lost out to TOD buy-ups, and not others with status or paid FC tickets?
