2017 AAdvantage Kit - Received one yet?
Has anyone received their 2017 program year EP kits yet? My current card expired 2/28/17. Got a trip to Asia coming up and I hate showing up to the lounge with just Emerald on the BP. I guess I'm still paranoid from the US *A days and having to slay the LH Sen. lounge dragons in FRA...

P.S.: usual FT boilerplate language disclosure regarding the good faith but fruitless search for an existing thread etc
But in all seriousness, couldn't find an existing thread so started this one.

When I requalified for EXP (back in August 2016) a few weeks later I got my new card with an expiration date of 1/31/2018, should I expect another mailing?

I qualified end of December and haven't gotten one yet. I've reached out via Twitter and they said give it until end of Feb (last month). Didn't come. I called AAdvantage Customer Service and they said they'd send the whole pack (maybe 10 days ago), still hasn't come. Addresses on profile are all good. Not sure what's up.

I requalified for EXP last year in November (I think), and I got the kit in December with exp. date of 02/27/2018 (same design with the EXP card exp. in 02/27/2017). However, interesting thing was...I thought I lost the card with the 2018 exp so I called to requested a replacement card, took about 3 weeks to arrive. When I opened the card, the exp. date is the same (02/27/2018) however the card design is definitely different (nicer looking imo). 
Just a case point, so 3 weeks for the card to arrived at my house.

I live overseas as well (the cards/kits are sent from the UK for European members).
This is hit-and-miss. Here's my last few years:
2011 - qualified Dec.30, got the package in Feb 2012 (qualified for Plat in November, that card came in March....)
2012 - qualified in November, never got a kit
2013 - qualified in April, kit came around October
2014 - qualified in November, got an email in April '15 that the package was returned (I moved, my bad) and asked for updated shipping address. Never received the reship.
2015: qualified in April, no kit
2016: qualified in October, kit came in early December
