Can someone else check their United app and see how their card info is displaying?

Not sure if this is worth a call into the M+ service center or not.

Seems like everything with United is a struggle anymore....

Mine says 1/2015. But I presume it's because it's still last year's program (since it expires 1/15). Come February 1, I suspect it will change to 1/2016

I have found where it shows status. Mine says shipped and to expect it in 4-6 weeks.

*crap*, was wanting to edit a past one, and now want to delete this, but I don't see how. Oh well.

Mine is still:

Your kit status:Pending Your Premier 1K membership materials are being processed. Please check back for updates on shipping.

Glad I am going to SFO-TPE-SFO in February.... if they expire the cards end of January they should be able to send out replacements before.....

and then whenever they decide to ship it, it will be 4-6 weeks, hopefully I will not have too much international travel before mid March/April, which I guess is the earliest they can be bothered to send it out.

Agreed. Mine still shows my 1K status through the end of January 2015. I'll drop to Plat so I expect the change to show up on 2/1 with a January 2016 expiration.

Me too and me too.

Wife's 1K (my MM companion) arrived today as well.

What an underwhelming 'welcome back' to 1K. The mini luggage tags aren't even personalized! Even my wife said, "That's it?".

Made 1K & 1MM in December. Just received a Premier Platinum -1MM Membership kit.

Yes, I know this is one of those things that may seem insubstantial compared with other peoples problems. Still curious if anybody else encountered it?

Made Premier Platinum at end of November. I didn't make 1MM & 1K status until Mid-December, both on the same flight. So why did they send a 1MM kit with only PP status?

The United.com site says I'm 1K 1MM, so I know I'm safe. But this seems a little odd. Do I wait longer to see if they send me another 1K kit? Or do I write to 1K voice and ask them to rectify the situation?

BTW: I thought that they used to give out metal 1MM luggage tags when you got to that level? All I got was the usual plastic PP tags and a scratched up Lucite frame with a plastic card inside that has my name and says Mileage Plus 1MM

Thanks United.

1MM = lifetime gold i thought

most likely a delay and general UA screwups. My silver pack took about 8 weeks to get to the house

Likely different reporting systems generating the different mailings.

No tags for a while now. It was just the lucite 14 months ago, too.
