Picked up mine yesterday from my PO Box - I was there as a Cycle Courier was picking up items - poor guy had two of the same boxes as mine, bet he wasn't pleased!

It looks like the Elite Short Haul Recognition Upgrade is for overseas Elites - received this from the Elite team after seeing if I could get the 2nd one added to my account...

My partner, who recently got downgraded from Gold to Silver, has had a third lounge voucher put into her account, with an expiry of January 2015. Could it be a Xmas gift too? It's handy as she is flying back to NZ in December, and can use it on her Trans Tasman leg, but it did seem a little strange as there was no communication about it.

Ditto! SH RU would be much more preferable for me as well - keen to trade if someone wants booze and the book!

Mine hasn't turned up yet, but from memory many others seem to have got theirs in previous years well before me.
Also, I haven't really got anywhere for the courier to safely leave it at home (and there is no one home in the day). At least in previous years when you selected your gift you could also choose a delivery address, so I was able to get it delivered to work.

Only the surprise may not be what was hoped. I asked a colleague yesterday if he had received his gift yet - he hadn't - and he was appalled when I told him what it was. His response was "Time to ditch Elite". I responded that making the status dependent on the Christmas present was probably a bit over the top, but he responded along the lines that it was simply another indication of how NZ cares less and less about its most frequent flyers. He's right.

If you don't receive the gift by 23rd Dec I got told to email [email protected] for them to follow up - mind you emailing now probably wouldn't harm either!

I don't think there were any emails or letters sent out this year...
