Gold membership packet
I made Gold in December and still haven't received anything from NW. Is this typcial? My status is correct on NWA.com, but was wondering about my card, tags, etc.

I'm still waiting for my Plat card too...made it on 12/13. I think the website said 3-4 weeks.....I'm trying to be patient. You can also print a temporary card from nwa.com

I would guess (hope?) that since the next membership year is starting, they won't send out new cards that expire on 2/28/07. You are probably in the queue to have them mailed out with everyone else for the year ending 2/29/08. I remain gold, so no change for me anyway.

Be patient. In the interim you can print a temporary WorldPerks membership card.

When in December did you make gold? I had gold status 12/6- and with holiday mail being what it was, my gold packet showed up around the 26th-27th. My platinum status didn't post until early January, and I really don't know whether they'll go to the trouble of sending me a packet with stuff I can only use for a month.

My Plat qualifying segment was 12/10, and haven't received my Plat welcome package yet. Was hoping it would arrive early this week.

Initially I did not get my Gold card. After 4 weeks I was able to request another one and I got that after another 4 weeks. It took a little over 2 months for me to get it. The same thing happened for Silver. VERY annoying!

I made GE on 12/27 and haven't received it either. I was told by a phone agent that it had been printed about a week ago, and that I should receive it any day.
I kind of wanted it for some upcoming MR's through NW hubs. I wanted to take advantage of the quicker security. I printed it as they suggested, but it is this tiny little thing on the page and looks kind of stupid.
