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

Receipt of 2014 MileagePlus Elite Card/Packets

Similar situation, and I also have the same green box.
Have been Platinum all year, then went over the 1K threshold on Nov 25. Got 1K status on Nov 27 (got GPU/RPU that day). No 1K kit to date.
Like you, I also have no 1K membership card that's "valid thru January 31st 2018." Other than the digital one on the app, of course.
But if I read correctly upstream, even if one was received it would be valid thru Jan 2018, so I wouldn't get two packets--so no double drink coupons.

Then it changed to the "Update your profile"
Today it is the green box of your card is still good, but I have no card, no nothing

Passed 1K in May, Passed 2K (200K miles) in Oct and currently sit at about 226K YTD. No green kit message on mystatus, no kit so far. I guess it'll be another year of having to call multiple times to get a simple card sent to me....

Review your profile information and confirm your email preferences." instead of telling me when the 1K kit would be sent out.
I have never had to call to request my card before, but maybe this time there's a glitch somewhere. Should I call?

I'm in a similar situation here. I re-qualified for 1K in September and I had 177,900 EQMs as of Dec 31. But I still haven't received the physical card. Mystatus site shows "Keep your profile up to date
Review your profile information and confirm your email preferences." instead of telling me when the 1K kit would be sent out.

I have gone mine as early as mid-Dec and late as first week in Feb and variety of times in-between.

I requalified for 1K in early December but this is the first time I have not had any notification for the shipping of my kit. I ask as there are a couple of odd things that have happened with my account today.
