if all goes according to plan, I will be passing 4MM on UA838 somewhere between NRT and SFO ON 20 Sep !!
Finally!
It took a while, but it has been smooth sailing most of the time. I appreciate the many times UA went out of their way to help during IRROPS, and am still annoyed I missed the lifetime club membership by 3000 miles when UA retired that perk at 2MM. Still, all in all, it’s been a great experience until now.
Now, if that GPU would just clear so I don t have to be in coach when I pass the milestone, that would be fantastic! ;-)

Not sure how active you were on Flyertalk back then, I was short by over 100K at the time, and wrote to PMUA and pleaded my case and received the lifetime Red Carpet Club status. A few others on FT also did the same. We posted our experience in the pre merger United Forum at the time and encouraged who were close to the 2 MM to write in and I believe a few did and received the lifetime RCC status.
When the merger took place, the “new” United Club system initially failed to recognize us, but eventually all were granted lifetime status at UC.

In any case, I will give it another shot next week and see if UA will make good on it, now that I have blown past the 2MM mark by another 2MM. Long shot, but may be worth trying?

Just passed 3MM today on the GUM-HNL flight in seat 2L. Only recognition I got was one of the flight attendants congratulated me on hitting 3MM on this flight prior to taking off. Other than that, flight was uneventful.

Just crossed 1mm 2 weeks ago finally.
Internationally based, thus enjoy the PQD exemption for my 1k requalification.
However being single want to put down my parent as inheriting my status, thus will have to switch address to their's then nominate them.
Anyone have any advice on this or ways to avoid PQD's other ways? With CC spend or other?
Thanks

Not for spouse or significant other, but for all the rest, YES. At least that's how I read this:
1. A companion is defined as a spouse, significant other or individual who resides at same home address, based on MileagePlus profile information.

Crossed the MM mark on Monday this week, traveling EWR - LAX. Enjoyed being up front for the P.S. with plenty of room to stretch out. The GS agent at the gate let me board nice and early. As I was walking down the jetway, the GS agent presented me with a thank you card that acknowledged the achievement. That was a nice touch.
