Well, now I know why my Bronze, Silver and Gold packs never arrived. And here I was blaming BA!
I had to call BA last week regarding using a gold upgrade voucher, and, of course, I was asked to state my address as part of the ID verification process. When my current address was rejected it dawned on me that I must never have updated it in my account (at least 3 years). The occupant of my previous address would have wondered what was going on. Oh, how embarrassing, but there you go.
Let's see if a Gold pack arrives soon...

funny thread. I keep my card in my travel wallet with passport, etc., but having or not having a physical card has no bearing on benefits I receive, because those are all dependent on the number and not the card. Admittedly I flash it when checking in on American, but that's about the only perceived value I get from the plastic card.

Just become a gold! Did the flight two days ago. Both the website and the phone app are showing the correct number of Avios and tier points but not giving me that warm glowing gold colour I crave. Website coloured silver although when I look at my account details it tells me I have achieved gold. Phone app showing a Silver card but stating “Gold achieved”. Oh please, please let it let me bathe in the warm glow soon! Silver is such a harsh colour and anyway it looks grey.
I like the idea of having a gold hat to wear as advocated by someone up-thread. Would sort out all those barging in stories we hear of. Perhaps the higher ranks’ hats could sport a flashing light and a recorded announcement, like you get on reversing lorries, to speed them past those tedious queues?

Standard behaviour, refresh it (or log out/in) on day 3 and you shall be troubled no more by that steely reflection and instead be greeted in a calming mocha-esque manner that you may flash at anyone who dares try usurp you in the

So your pain of seeing that dull grey colour should be gone before you know it.

Too bad it would probably mean going on the SSSS list permanently if implemented it.

I also got no email acknowledgement, and still haven't received the welcome pack (but have had the replacement cards).

Two heavy GOLD envelopes containing our new cards have just landed on the doormat. So that’s 4 days after the card expiry (not Membership) date. No grief, then!
No spare Luggage Tags these days, of course, but easily ordered online at ba.com.
* Do I just cut up the old [expired] ones, or try to sell them on eBay?

Achieved Bronze and Silver in April and Gold in June, none received. I am currently not in town so am down for waiting, but I wonder if BA still indicates the status of the package (i.e. showing "dispatched" online in the EC Items section)?
Also I am resident in US

I re-qualified for silver in March, and received that card last Tuesday.
I qualified for gold on 1st July (thanks FT!), and got my new card today.
