Let's use this thread to report actually delivery of the packets and comments about the kit contents.
Please no "nothing yet" posts (at least until we get to mid-January (15 Jan 2017 is be more specific) when that mean there is an issue.
In the past, UA has used mystatus.united.com to report shipment status of the kits.
Past years

I understand they are not sending physical Silver membership card. Can someone confirm this or it is just a rumour?

If the rep says “we usually don’t give out Silver Cards”, ask the rep to try to see if they can. They are still being manufactured for international members, so the MPSC can force it.

Only re-qualified for Silver this year (maternity leave...sigh) and my account says Kit Status: PENDING.
Don't even send it to me unless it's a more precious metal

So, umm, I got a Gold kit at some point in the last 2 months.
The thing is I requalified for Gold at some point in August, then went on to Platinum in early November, and 1k in early December.
The mystatus page switched to "pending" in the last week or so, I didn't watch the page while I was between plat and 1k though so no idea if they would've shipped a platinum kit. Since I'm overseas postage might be slow, but I remember 6 weeks for last years silver and gold. (Having at least the gold card is useful for the *G dragons on LH group, although they've not bitten anytime recently.)

It is 1/15 so I guess I can say nothing yet. 1K re-qualified for 1K probably August or September. At least the status now shows Pending - it was not showing that for the longest.

> Your Premier 1K membership materials were shipped on January 4th 2017. They should arrive in 4–6 weeks.
Woo, finally. Let's see how long it takes them to ship to Switzerland. Also, let's see if I get more than one kit like last year, where I got a kit for Gold, Plat, and 1K. (50% more drink chits!)

I thought that only 1K and GS receive drink chits...

1K requalified in September. My status page shows 1K but no green box for package shipping update.
In Paris this week, but wife just FaceTimed me and I saw the 2017 1K kit sitting on the counter. Is it weird that I made her open it so I could watch?

Requalified for 1K back in the middle of 2016 and received my packet the first week of January with 10 drink chits.
