Premier Silver info received 2/27 in Massachusetts. Same stuff as everyone else.
I wish they would have used the money they put toward the packaging and luggage tag to give us E+ access at time of booking for 2012.

Southwest New Jersey (Philly 'burbs) Recieved my Silver packet 2/25 'ish.
Unfortunately United's current F pricing has pushed me back to US.
Most trips are written-off a rather large expense account thus the paid F to guarantee an F seat.

Got my GS package today in central NJ. Nice black packaging with the black GS card, two leather customized luggage tags, 10 drink chits, and brochure/international dialing card/etc.

I had sent an email yesterday to 1K Voice, re: husband's new card being silver when it should be matched to my 1K, due to getting to million miles. Anyway, that email just got me a phone call reply from UA customer service.
The rep says that updated cards will be sent out after March 9. She seems to think we will be OK (flying to Europe on 17th) with baggage allowances. Hope so!
I was impressed to get a phone call, in any case. And that call came less than 24 hours after my email got sent. Thank you, UA. ^

Maybe I should start a new thread (???) but I just got ANOTHER call from UA rep. Now she says that the updated cards will arrive 'early in the second quarter' (April) and not sometime after March 9th.
I asked about the card my husband would be getting, and she says that it will be a star gold card, not a 1K card. My husband is matched to my lifetime status (star gold, MM) and NOT to my ANNUAL status (1K). I looked on the UA site, and yes, it does specifically say "matched lifetime status"...

Million Miler Eligibility:
If your Lifetime Flight Mile balance is one million miles or more, you are considered a Million Miler and may designate your spouse or significant other ("companion") even if you have not yet received any notification from MileagePlus.
You may designate one (1) companion to receive the same Premier level as you currently hold, regardless if you have 1 Million lifetime miles or more than 2 Million lifetime miles.
If you earn a higher Premier level during the program year, your companion will also receive that higher status level. However if your companion earns a higher Premier level, your account status will not change.
The only question outstanding is whether your husband would get matched to GS, should you earn that... depends on whether GS is technically considered a "Premier level" or not.
But Plat & 1K clearly are Premier levels, so your husband should be matched to it.
Also, when UA_Insider announced it way back on flyertalk they also said the higher level should be matched:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ng-2012-a.html
Million milers will be able to designate a spouse or significant other to always have the same premier tier as them (this includes when the million miler member earns a higher tier).

Still, very disturbing that an agent is telling you this. And also disturbing that different language is used on other United pages.
And slipping to APRIL? I sure hope that isn't right either.

I just fired off another email to 1kvoice. I included the link to the information about matching current status. We'll see what happens THIS TIME.
Ugh....

Thanks for the update. I'm tempted to go home to look for mine!
