UK Skywards Card Dispatch
A member of my family today received a silver Skywards card - looks like it was dispatched out of BHX: has anyone here in the UK received a Gold or Plat card dispatched out of the UK this year, or are they still sending those via DHL or some such ex-DXB?

Also received silver card dispatched from Birmingham, subsequently advised that I have again achieved gold and await that card's arrival. Will advise delivery method when it appears.

Really?! Given what they were giving out to Golds lately, its pretty clear what they 'think' of Golds.

Was it as recent as 2013? I don't remember my wife getting it when she was nominated as a gold. I still have the 'propeller' on my desk but kind of recall that it was at least 6-7 years back, coz its been with me for quite a while now...

I got the travel wallet last year.

There must be so many golds. They should really put another tier in place at 100k - 50 to 150 is a big gap.
