I received my 1K kit several weeks ago for 2016 (expiring 1/31/2017).

I (in CLE) qualified for first-time 1K before Thanksgiving and received a Plat kit yesterday.
According to mystatus my 1K kit is "Pending" so I assume it will follow in a couple weeks.
I guess I'm moderately surprised that they didn't apply any kind of intelligence to it -- I mean while I've added several trips over the past few weeks, the fact that I'd be passing the PQS threshold for 1K could easily be determined by my bookings since about mid-October so I would have delayed the kit... but the incremental cost of a few (hundred? thousand?) duplicate kits probably isn't worth it.

Started the year (2015) as Plat based on December 2014 flying. Got that kit in January 2015. Qualified for 2016 Plat in June or July. Got 2016 Plat kit yesterday. Qualified for 2016 1K in early November... no 2016 1K kit yet, but I assume it's a matter of time.

MileagePlus Card and 2 luggage tags (both with the metallic effect of the 1K kit shown upthread -- just a slightly darker gray, 6 drink chits, two plastic things for the luggage tags, and a quad-fold brochure
Inner Folds
1 - "Lincoln let me be the first to welcome you to..." signed Brett J Hart
2 - Your benefits for 2016 (Premier Access, Complimentary E+, 2 RPUs, 3 Checked bags
3 - Extend your benefits with our partners (Star/Chase/Marriott/Hertz/Mercedes)
4 - Enhancing your experience (Premier Priority Desk Phone #, marketing drivel about making things better)
Outer Folds
1- Premier Benefits at a glance (same grid that's on Mystatus.United.Com
2- Anywhere you are - shilling for United Mobile
3- Thank you. We look forward to having you on board
4- 2016 Premier Platinum / picture of aircraft at jetway
Nothing terribly exciting or different from last year IIRC

Same thing here.

I re qualified as Plat in July. Received Plat packet today but surprised they didn't wait as I have 123,000+ PQM and $11,753 PQD with two more UA flights booked for this month. My flight Monday will put me over the 12K PQD requirement for 1K.

Requalified to 1K in August and have not received my 2016 kit. Glad to read someone else in the same position as starting to think there was an issue.

Could someone post the URL where one checks the status of new credentials being shipped? It would be most kind of the OP to then add it to his original message.

Qualified for Platinum in October but no kit. Online shows still pending. I'll be interested to see when it actually shows up.
