Was anyone ever able to get a power breakfast as a complementary food item?

Not sure if this is what you mean by "power breakfast" but I got the combination hot egg dish with yogurt and fresh fruit on a morning flight as my 1K coach meal entitlement. It went down well with a Moscow mule!

It indeed went down well with a Moscow mule. Afterwards I slept all the way to SFO!

Once they recognized me as GS and asked me what I wanted to drink. The other times, I just handed them my GS card as if I was handing a credit card. They said thank you and didn't charge me. No need to say anything other than "thank you" when they handed me my drink and food item.

I'm not sure where my actual 1K card is, but I guess it is in the United App if I ever really needed it.

I got my Classic box on my DEN-DAY RJ flight, but they didn't have coffee?? FA said no coffee on these flights? It was a (No)GoJet RJ145. Could have sworn I've gotten coffee on RJ flights...

Particularly on RJ flights later in the day, the FA may decide not to brew coffee. Kind of annoying; it's not that much extra effort/cost.

On EWR-ORD flight a week ago, I asked for a beer and was going to show my MP card. The FA looked up at the row number and said "GS, right" and handed me the drink. I looked up and saw the following black "banner" with the first letter of my last name:

Too funny!
Reminds me of the morning back in 2003 when I came out of my hotel room to find a big "TED" printed on the picture of a jet on the cover. My first thought was, "Unbelievable! They've figured out how to personalize the newspaper for every hotel guest!"

For all the complaints I have....
I was in E+ on BOS-LAX today. I have to say, the (free) cheeseburger was delicious. Better than many mains I've had in domestic F. Thanks for the free meal, United!

UA2, got a classic box for free. FA didn't even want to check my credentials as I went to the galley to ask.

Any new hot lunch/dinner menu items or are the choices still the cheeseburger, pasta and meatballs and roast beef sandwich? Maybe they discontinued the sandwich?

Recently flew a UX flight (CHS-ORD). FA announced snacks were available for purchase. Offered to no one for purchase as she pushed the drink cart up. When she got to me, she thanked me for 1K and offered me a snack and drink.
Then flew ORD-PHL (mainline). No offer, no service. Just water for the entire flight. And I was in the exit row. I've had them forget many times in the bulkhead seat where I'm usually more proactive.
