Well my FT friends, it just happened: Four Million Miles. This morning on UA449 BOS-ORD.
i arrived at the UC in BOS to a nice welcome from GS. A few minutes later my phone rang -- and it was Oscar! He thanked me for this achievement, with regrets that he could not greet me personally. Of course I replied, "Thanks, Oscar!" And you know what he replied ��
At the gate, I was met by BOS station management and a VP who happened to be in town. They had a "4M" balloon, a few gifts, and a card signed by the BOS staff.
On board, the Captain gave me a signed copy of the flight plan and made a PA exactly 200 miles into the flight as the milestone was reached.
On arrival, I was met by a GS agent and given a "one time exception" to visit the Polaris Lounge, accompanying my partner who is on his way to NRT then BKK.
If anyone is around, I'm flying 790 back to BOS at 6pm. Come say hi!
Thanks, United, it's been a great ride. On to 5MM!

I have to ask, did Oscar say “de nada”:-)

Crossed the 1MM mark back in January. The FA congratulated me and offered me an extra snack.
No big deal and that was okay by me. The excitement came when hubby got his matching status. He is currently traveling on the east coast and loved boarding the plane before Group 1. His excitement is priceless!

I've flown well over 1mm BIS miles in my lifetime, however only accumulated about 750k toward the MM target on UA. Way back in the day my flying was mainly on DL, then I switched to NW/CO. Didn't get all the CO credit post-merger that I probably should have, but I figure I'll hit 1MM sometime in 2021. Hopefully, the benefits aren't diluted by then!

I haven't hit 1MM status yet, and won't for another two-ish months, but I just realized that the flight I booked today will take me across that threshold. It won't really change my flying patterns or anything for my travel companion (spouse is 1k), but I still feel oddly pleased to be at this point.

Million Miles
I’ve been searching for 10 minutes for information on making Million Miler. I’ve read on blogs that United sometimes surprises you with a card or special gift.
I cant figure out though, which of the 4 flights I’m taking next week would put me over, or as I believe, my June flight will do it. My flight next weekend is from DTW to IAH to LAS with same return. The accrual for that trip is as follows : Award Miles 7488 and 9192 PQM. I have 991,550 Lifetime Miles. I’ll have 999,038 after all segments clear, I think. The ticket is 1st Class but I know those extra miles don’t count towards Million Miles. And my flight in June is United Express, so I’m not expecting a party. I’m just wondering if I’m adding this correctly, and if other Million Milers could tell me how they were told.
Please do move this to the proper forum, I couldn’t find anything searching. Thanks!

DTW-IAH-LAS round trip will net you about 4,600 miles for lifetime miles calculation.
Crossing 1 million will happen after this trip.
Early congrats!

Things have clearly changed. I never received any recognition on a flight, let alone a gift from UA. In fact, the year I made it was the year they reneged on the annual gift of two RPUs, so more of a slap in the face than a gift. As I approach 2 million (next year) I don't expect anything either!
