I don't see where on mystatus it tells if shipped or not. I'm a 1MM Gold and Ms. Portolan received her companion Gold card last week. I'd like some vague reassurance that Mine is on the way.

Qualified for Silver mid-Dec. Received kit yesterday. No hard plastic Silver elite card - says to use the electronic one in the app. No biggie, a hard silver card is kinda useless anyway. A miniature Silver luggage tag was included...

Can anyone comment if the card shown on the app still says it expires January 2016?

MM Gold, but qualified for Platinum in December.

Got the Gold package anyway yesterday (with card and tag). Called MPSC and they said the Platinum package was processed at the end of December and should get to me shortly. Hanging on the Gold card for now if I need it for *A lounges until I get the Plat one.

Requalified as 1K in early December. Still waiting.

1K Kit

Got my 1K Kit at the beginning of January. Nice way to start out the new year.

Does the kit include the drink coupons? These seem to be unnecessary due to recent changes in complimentary foods and drinks when GS and 1K sit in Y. I have not got mine. I suspect that my kit will not include those chits.

I'm hoping there are still drink chits, as I was under the impression that only the first drink is free for GS/1K...

IIRC I got 5 or 6 with the Plat kit and then another 10-12 when I got the 1K kit... I still haven't used any of the ones I got with my 2015 Plat kit...

Yep, my United Club packet came today, as I predicted above.

Still no sign of my 1K kit; site still says "pending."

Sigh.

If you login at https://mystatus.united.com/, you'll see your kit status (pending, shipped, etc) on the right.
