Got my Silver package. It is missing a physical membership card! Considering they upped the spend last year to $3K just to get lousy Silver, you'd think they give us a physical plastic card. So little effort to appreciate your customers. They already reduced most of the perks of Silver. I only fly United to get E+ when I can and to try to make 1MM BIS miles.

Yes ... though last year, I didn't get the original 1K kit, only the GS kit. They must have placed me in some sort of "GS waiting room" to determine, though I'd be surprised if the process was that sophisticated ...

I haven't had too many issues with the front-line employees for the most part, but the management/white collar morons running this airline are a joke.

I agree that a Silver card is not actually "needed," but it's a nice touch to thank someone for spending a substantial amount of PQD and PQM with UA. And honestly it can't cost much to print, or to mail, since there is a mailing anyway and the card is just a bit of marginal weight.

Easy to say when one is not a Silver..it's easy to be generous about cutting other people's benefits...

Looks like the card is slightly updated for 2016 - now includes the logo's negative space pattern on the right hand side.
