Received the kit last weekend with the two flimsy tags like last year but in smaller size. I remember they broke so easily and disappeared after a trip. The weak point is the approximately 4-5mm thick area above the punched hole on the card. Have UA ever tried to make anything good and durable?
Btw, what's the point to have beverage vouchers when you can't redeem on premium red and white white?!

Count me in the camp without a kit yet.
Re-Qualified back in December for yet another year of 1k. Status just changed to "shipped" with 4-6 weeks for delivery.
I am leaving later this week for Intl travel.

My status changed from "Pending" to "Shipped" early last week. I crossed the PQM threshold (by $200) on 12/31. Wonder when my kit will actually arrive - I'm flying to DXB this week...

Why does it seem such an issue for UA to get kits out on time? Anyone recall the sticker debacle a couple of years back?
I know PMUA used to have 2/28 as their status expiration date to give additional buffer, and I know most lounges and check-in agents don't need to see a card these days... But it sure seems UA faces a problem every single year now with this.
