Having received my Gold Elite package today, I will also be sending out a letter.
My monthly statements (from my non elite days!) had better offers than this latest mailing. One card, one lugagge tag, a letter, booklet, and upgrade certs on AS that make the NW upgrades to Europe policy look generous (since "even" B fares qualify for mileage upgrades).
Very disappointing, especially when compared to other programs out there.
