Received 1K kit yesterday, qualified Dec 8th. Had received Plat kit in November, qualified for Plat in Sept.

Now I have 15 drink chits good until next year^

Yeah - I've seen that thread as well. Reason I asked is more because they change the look each year, which could be taken as an effort to make it easier for FAs to spot "old" chits.

Qualified on Dec. 5th for 1K, got my 1K kit last week on Tuesday.


I got 10 Drink chits, but the coolest thing was actually the GS bag tags that my mom got.

They are made from the 787 carbon fiber material and are extremely sturdy (read: can't bend it at all), and look very sleek.

I don't have time to scroll through 21 pages of notes, but I received my kit this morning after qualifying in October. The standout item for me is the new level of cheapness to the offering. This years cut is that your companion card etc comes with your package (fine), but the companion no longer gets drink chits. Last year and previous, I received my 10 chits and they received their own 10 chits. This year it's 10 total between us.

Death by a thousand cuts...

I received my Platinum kit in the mail last week. I fell short on PQD, but only because I didnt travel on United for the first 5 months of the year. On the Mystatus site, it says "Thank you for your continued loyalty. To show our appreciation, we’re pleased to award you Premier 1K status for 2017." All online cards just say 1K good through 1/2017.

And below that, in orange, it shows my 1K kit "pending". I did ask in December for an exception since my travel will book heavy as usual, but was told no dice. Did I get magically carried through to 1K in 2017? I did get the 1K allotment of UG certs too.

Mine still says that as well - I'm Platinum and will be again, but the card hasn't updated yet within the app.

Requalified for 1K 12/26, several years as a 1K. No kit by today when the existing cards expire. Glad I'm not traveling internationally this week. How hard can this be?

oldmonster Jan 31, 2017 7:40 pm

1k re-qualified in Dec. Received on 1/30.

br2k Jan 31, 2017 10:04 pm

Requalified for gold in september, platinum in november. No cards. Called, got a jumbled explanation (they have no clue) and asked to wait till mid-february. May have to fly internationally with just a digital card.

Web site still shows in progress, but packet arrived today. Included wife's MM match status card.
