We've earned our 1 Million Miles Rewards on UA. The envelope arrived in today's mail from UA. It's essentially a new 1K package and contains some drink certs, a replacement 1K card that adds Million Mile Flyer just below 1K, and a certificate of congratulations.
"It is our privilege to recognize you as one of the distinct few to reach 1 MILLION LIFETIME FLIGHT MILES. Thank you for your years of loyalty. We are honored that you have chosen to travel on United."
Very nice! Loyalty should run both ways so let's hope our upgrades on future flights continue to clear.
It's Official: We're United Airlines Million Mile Flyers

Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
Still, lifetime Star Alliance Gold status, access to better seats, and access to United's Premier Executive phone line and the other perks of being a "1P" are all attractive features, no matter how much flying we do in the future.
We suggest you write 1K to seek compensation for this slight.
