Hit 1MM last night 12/7 on UA2435 (IAD-SFO) over Omaha. Was on a mileage run (SFO-EWR-MIA-IAD-SFO) to obtain 1MM before the end of the year as my Platinum status was due to expire in January 2022 (but just got extended last week to January 2023). Was on target to hit the milestone last year but the pandemic hit and prior to flying again this year, I hadn't been on a plane in 570+ days. Flight crew congratulated me on my 1MM flight (as well as on the EWR-MIA flight). Luckily MIA had card stock boarding passes, so I was able to get my 1MM boarding pass there.
Currently sitting at 1001319 and will close the year there.

I've been a lurker on this site for years and wanted to share this experience. On December 22, I crossed the 3MM threshold while onboard UA297, from Denver to New Orleans. Although no mention/acknowledgement of this milestone was made during the flight, three things happened in short order after the flight: A.) My 3MM gift of 35K miles was deposited into my account, B
the expiration date on digital MP changed from 01/23, (I requalified for 1K a few months back) to 1/22, which was amusing to me, C.) a message on the app appeared congratulating me on passing the 3MM mark and assuring me that my status would never drop below 1K, even if I travel less in the future. Coincidentally, when I checked-in online for my flights on the 22nd, a message appeared on the app congratulating me on 34 years of MileagePlus membership. I joined OnePass in 1987 when flying Eastern Airlines and my very first OnePass card, which I still have, is co-branded with the Eastern Airlines and Continental Airlines logos on it. In the first 14 years of membership, I traveled maybe once or twice a year. Starting in 2001, I traveled mostly domestic over the next 20 years but did manage one or two long-haul international flights a year for vacation.
I will end the year with approximately 84,000 BIS miles, 3,001,799 lifetime miles, 31.084 PQP (33,084, if you include 2K Chase United Club Card PQP points) and 70 PQF. My personal strategy is to only fly United, unless the routing is ridiculous. For example, I'm flying to San Diego out of Tucson next week and can (will) do the trip non-stop on Southwest in about an hour, versus having to connect through Denver or San Francisco on United. I'm looking forward to passing the 4MM mark in 8 or so years from now.
I guess I should update my moniker, now that I'm no longer a Plat?

Would suggest you post your 2021 end of year stats to 2021 United PQF/PQP/BIS Status Milestone Roll Call Thread and BldgEnergySaver 's poll thread when it gets published by year end.
WRT your moniker - looks like you're still in TUC, CO no longer exists under that name, and you're now LT1K. Up to you.

Quick follow up - just found actually 2 separate e-mails from MileagePlus Program ([email protected]) congratulating me on MM achievement. The first was received about a week after my actual MM flight and the second e-mail received exactly a week later saying exactly the same thing:

Yes, as long as the Star Alliance continues to exist, and UA maintains its relationship with Marriott.
Frankly, the benefits of Marriott Bonv°y Gold Elite status (equivalent of 25 stays annually, though one is not credited for such via UA) are very minimal indeed, but that is fodder for another forum. For instance, U.S. residents could "earn" 30 nights by having a business and personal Marriott co-branded credit card. . . .
