Actually the email confused me. It said:
Hi RM,
Congratulations on your United MileagePlusŪ PremierŪ 1KŪ status! We're excited to introduce you to all the perks of your status in a special welcome video.
I've been 1K for years (except for the one stint as GS thrown in the middle) and I *earned* 1K last year instead of having it gifted to me as part of the extension. So why are they introducing me to the perks? The email should have said, "Congratulations on re-earning 1K status. Here's a reminder of your perks..."
I can't be bothered watching some video. I know where I flew. I know how many upgrades I did and didn't get. And I know the 1K perks that I use and care about.
