Not sure if it helps those traveling internationally, but I was able to print a paper copy of my new 1K card from the pss.united.com website yesterday.
Otherwise, no frosty white joy in my cold and rainy Seattle mailbox. Two trips next week, so hopefully Monday will bring satisfaction.

Long time follower of the forum, first time posting. Love what you guys have done with the forums.
Still have yet to receive my card in Toronto. I have got a flight coming up in a few days with a partner, good thing I am flying business.

No 1K card here. My 1P/Prem Exec/Premier Gold spouse got hers four days ago. What bozo sends out the lower tiers first? 
My next flight is Monday a.m.; one more day for USPS to deliver. Here's hoping my boarding pass is sufficient for next week's international itinerary.
Fundamentally, I cannot figure out why they had to wait until now to deliver the cards. They have known my status since November, and four months later, still no card. Worst case, they take everyone's status on 12/31, send those cards, and then update in February with those whose combined status actually changed in the closing days of the year. Instead, they've tried to penny-pinch this and wait until the last minute. Saving the cost of the stupid sticker mailing would have covered this for everyone. Fail indeed.

Got Mine at the 11th Hour
I fretted all day that my new 1K card had not arrived but decided to wait until mail delivery tomorrow before calling. Then about mid-day FedEx droped off the package. My FedEx driver said that she had beeen delivering a whole bunch of these packages all day.
It was in a nice gift box with the new 1K MM card; a nice personalized MM luggage tag; 10 drink chits; a congtraulatory note on being MM; and a nice upscale 1K brochure. Overall it was a nice package and I am quite happy.
By the way on my NRT-ORD flight two days ago the FA who was taking meal orders said "I am happy to recognize you as a member of the Million Mile Flyer Club". When I made my selection she said "you got it" without any consideration for my second choice. I had no idea that the manifest identified 1K MM. I just presumed that all 1K's were dumped in the same bucket.

Sadly, you may be right. I'm been a MM for nearly 10 yrs and it's a rare event for anyone at UA to recognize me for my patronage. I don't expect that to change now that I've crossed 2MM. Dave

None here and I have an international trip shortly. 
On the plus side I will be in business class, so I won't have any trouble accessing the lounge.
But still a big to UA - this is surely a sign of how bad the computer merger will be in a few days. 
Thankfully I am on LH.
