The handle wraps need to be requested separately.

Qualified for Gold for the first time on 12/24.
Still shows as pending online, but I just got my kit today.
Seems strange to only get one luggage take for gold, though.

I re-qualified for 1K in September, and received the 1K kit in a box this past Monday. The online status still shows the 1k kit is being processed and pending.

December requal, got my packet today, even though mystatus.united.com still says "Pending".

Yes. I qualified right at the end of the year for Gold. Received a Silver packet Monday. Called and the agent said that I had qualified and will be receiving my Gold packet in 6-8 weeks.

Hit gold on Dec. 28 flight. Got kit today, but then realized it was for silver. My status site says pending, so presumably I will actually get a gold one, too. Wife on the other hand hit gold about a week ago when the Dec. card spend PQMs finally hit. She hasn't received any kit yet.

have no idea...when I was in India (Mumbai - 2013-14), I used my Canadian address because I assumed it wouldn't get to me. I was probably right...I consistently found domestic Indian mail pretty good, but of several items (just regular envelopes) I knew sent from Canada/US to me, I never got a single one.

I hit 1k for the first time in late November (previously plat). On mystatus it says shipped 3rd Jan but it had already arrived by 1st Jan (I was out of the country for a few weeks and landed back that day).

Does this mean another kit will be on its way?

Received my 2017 premier platinum kit today, which included my 1MM plexiglass commemorative thing.

If memory serves, last year my kit arrived while the website still said pending.

I'm traveling this week and forgot to ask my wife if it arrived, but it won't surprise if it did and the website still says pending.

1K kit arrived today, qualified in October. Looks like Mrs Limey1K isn't getting her own kit as her card was attached to the companion card insert in the package.

Requalified for 1K on Nov. 22. Got 1K credentials Jan. 23, included card for my +1 as companion of my MM status.

December requal as well... still waiting for my kit :/

Requalified in summer, and still have not received my kit.

To make things worse, even the United app show an expiration date of 01/2017 instead of 01/2018. Just dropped 1KVoice a note.

Spouse requalified on own merit. I am going to change my designee to our son, who has no status because he flies on my miles.

If you have an existing MM companion, it can only be changed in November of each year for effect the next year.

Very standard ("thru 01/xxxx" it will automatically update at the end of January)
