Honestly, if there weren't a handful of lounges that still sometimes require a card, I'd be fine if they'd just dispense with the whole kit. It seems very wasteful.
Perhaps United could put one year's worth of premier kit production costs into an IT upgrade so that our membership cards had electronic eligibility and expiry programmed into the system, like occurs at Costco. You don't see them re-issuing expensive cards each year, yet they manage to keep track of who has which eiigible membership over the years on the backside of their IT systems.
