Actually I just did and only counted these two and Bhirubin who are not LTP. It's OK uxb it really is only a little grey bag 
. Maybe yours will turn up in a few weeks. I must agree that it's really not nice that you've received zilch all these years... message the Lurkers with your RL info... it's the last year (more or less) to do it!

Maybe it has nothing to do with status/number of stays.
Perhaps, they are sending them out to those of us whom they know pilfer all the little soaps and shampoos to simplify storage/avert leakage onto clothes in suitcases.
Personally, I would be more than happy to send mine on to anyone who has been neglected - if only I didn't think that the postage/envelope would be worth more than the grey bag itself. Perhaps I could leave it hidden in a Club Lounge for a lucky someone to pick up at a later date

I created a wikipost so that everyone can see it and read details without having to necessarily read through the entire thread. I've added more pictures in addition to the OP, G37driver.

For completeness please include my information about the honey/spreads with a handwritten note from the SPG team I noted previously. Thanks.

I just received a personalized St Regis Bathrobe with my name on it for my birthday... thought it was a really, really, amazing thing for SPG to do.
