Come to think of it, the 2018 1K kit is significantly nicer than the 1MM kit I got last year. The 1MM plaque was two pieces of plastic held together with magnets with a piece of paper in between them. These coasters aren't shabby, although it's also not as if we needed more coasters around our house.

I hope this is close enough not to be considered off-topic: Is it too soon to inquire about the gold luggage handle wrap? I think I heard Jan 23 would be the day to check in for that? Does anyone know or has any 1K/GS got theirs yet?

Back to the kits.... how many Star Alliance airlines require the physical UA Gold/Platinum/1K cards for admittance into their lounges? (not just boarding passes showing star gold status)
Thanks!

One of the earlier posted pics
Therorically none -- *A rules does not require the card if you have *G marked BP. But there may be througe agent that does not understand the rules, where you might need to ask for futher assistances.

Years ago that was a common issue, seems more and more reports the BP is sufficient in the past year. But there still can be a few individual holdouts.
