MileagePlus Membership Happy Anniversary Messages

I was waiting to board a flight to EWR last night & about 5 min before boarding they paged me to the podium. I figured I was being downgraded (why else would they call me up) & put my fighting face on. There was a CS supervisor & 3 agents standing there & when I approached the supervisor handed me a card & congratulated me on my 20th year with Mileage Plus. It was a nice touch and the agents were very friendly & laughed cuz they knew I thought it was bad news at first. I never saw this before but thought it was a nice thing to do that costs UA nothing but made me feel appreciated for 5 min (till I boarded

...and here's a sharp stick in the eye as your reward! (i.e., Expert Mode loss)

I almost made a comment about that but it wasn't their fault. (I was just reading about the loss of expert mode when they paged me)

I am at 22 years and no one has said anything to me... I should ask for some sort of compensation.

I reached my 20th anniversary with United Mileage Plus this July and was expecting at least an e-mail congratulating me. I did not receive anything. My general member AAdvantage friend received an e-mail for his 20th anniversary with AA.

Maybe they did it because chinatraderjmr is a 3MM, or it might be only done in EWR.

It might also be from when he raised a ruckus (rightfully so) a few months ago with UA. Figured keep him happy to keep his business. Problem is they're setting a possible unrealistic expectation going forward.

It was done in FLL, not EWR. The flight was to EWR (I said there were 4 smiling agents. Have you EVER seen 4 smiling agents together in EWR??

Same thing happened to me in FLL last night, totally unexpected. After everyone had boarded the flight to EWR, a United representative came on board and handed me a thank-you note for 25 years of membership. A very nice touch indeed.

It might be a larger outreach effort as well. I've seen a few people recently get hand written happy birthday cards from the airline.

Similar situation happened to me departing MCI last month. After I was seated, and before the door closed, the GA entered the plane, walked down the aisle to my seat, and presented me with a card, thanking me for 25 years with United.

My first trip was in college, in 1987. The professor for whom I was working, and was accompanying to Seoul, Korea, for a demo, were both upgraded to FC DEN-LAX-Tokyo. Sadly, that will most likely never happen again.

I suspect this is most likely the case.

Nothing has happened to me.

I am 29 years with United, over 30 years with TWA (which was taken over by American). I am also 20 years with Continental, which was the last major enrollment for me. By that time, I was with all the major programs.
