No, did not. All those other threads were about people receiving the card, receiving the wrong card, or speculation about whether or when they would receive the card.
This thread is about actual failure to receive the card by 3/3, and the consequences of life without it.

A minor whine is that I preferred my UA number and not this inferior looking mixture of letters and numbers

No cards here either. 
But I never expected them to arrive on time.

Also leaving for an international trip next week and today is the last possible mail delivery date for me. Otherwise, it will be interesting to see if my paper copy is accepted in FRA!

I was just wondering the same thing, especially when LH tries to deny lounge access as no "sticker" on expired card. A quick look up in the system or another check of the bp always solves that, but annoying nonetheless.

I wonder if this is an issue with all airlines? I got my Delta card yesterday and have not received my United card yet. But my AA card came along right on target.

While not ideal, you can print a temp card from the website.

No card here yet but at least next week's trip is U.S.-domestic only.

Yeah, I tried that. The dark gray of my personal information contrast with the gold of my PG card such that it is rendered unreadable. Got an OZ codeshare flight on TG next week, and I can only hope I get lounge access at ICN.

No 2p card yet here, either, although it wouldn't shock me if us silvers just got a print at home card to laminate ourselves, since we're probably not worth the plastic the cards are printed on to United.

You need to enable "Print background colors and images" option in your Web browser for the card to be printed correctly.
