Requalified 12/20; received my 1K kit today. For some reason, someone along the line had put a bunch of Scotch tape on the two ends of the kit. (These ends are normally open, FWIW, in this year's mailer.)

Got my 1K kit yesterday. 41 days after qualifying for 1K. I guess having to ship it internationally and taking 41 days isn't too bad. Now to figure out how to get one of those yellow bag wrap things that I've seen comments on.

I qualified in July for 1k, made GS for this year, and I still haven't gotten a thing yet.

(and it would be a legitimate gripe)
This will happen to me this weekend!

Me too. Just the AV lounge in BOG and CTG, but still annoying. I'm hoping a combination of my expired 1k card and my updated one on the UA app will suffice.

Requalified as 1K late December - packets for both wife and I arrived 1/30/2015 (just over a month after we hit 100K).

Me three. I still haven't got my new 1k card and I need to access the star alliance lounge this Sunday (Feb 1 - card expired on 1/31) so I don't know if they will let me in with my just-expired card. Also, my "card" on the UA app has not been updated yet and it's still showing "valid thru 01/2015". Is there anyone I can contact to update the card expiration date on my UA app?

Received my 2015 1k Kit in SIN middle of last week. Requalified in October. Still haven't received my 2014 materials!

While I knew what to expect (except for the tiny fisher price 'my first luggage tags' which are a new change), it was same as any of the last 15 years.

Pretty lackluster compared to my SQ PPS Club materials which showed up the week before.

The very unispiring kit finally arrived complete with new mini-tags and the cheaper bendy card.

I mean seriously, this is a top tier kit??

oh united... so budget...

My 2015 1K kit arrived today. It's definitely been slim-lined, like the seats and the Tillamook cheese slices.

As we all know, united.com and the UA mobile app are the most advanced of their kind compared to all other airlines.

This advanced status comes at a price. Simple things like changing the app to display the 2016 card are hard, because every little change has to be regression tested with the other features.

I am beginning to appreciate the minimalist approach other airlines take.

Looks like mystatus.united.com is down. Going to it gives :

"We apologize as we are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please check back again later."
