Got mine yesterday, as a 3MM 1K.
10 drink coupons. Glad they're still giving those out, even though we get a free drink and meal as a 1K.
Also my companion card was included. Normally this was sent separately. I suppose that's good although not sure if the drink coupons are meant for me of for my companion.

My wife got hers about a month after her 1K card arrived last year, FWIW.

I got my 1K kit while I was gone on my latest trip. Opened it today, and was surprised and delighted with the acrylic coasters! What a nice touch ... and the colors match our decor.

I re-qualified for GS in early December.
Kit shipped on the 15th Jan and it will arrive in 4-6 weeks according to mystatus.
Are the GS kits delayed this year or am I just very unlucky?

I re qualified as a 1K in October and my kit was shipped 1/18 with delivery in 4-6 weeks. I don't understand why they can't deliver them before expiration, this happens in my case every year.

Pre-merger MM here. Lifetime Gold. Living in France
No kit has arrived yet. I am bummed. I need my card.
Travelling long haul to Singapore next week with Swiss/LH.
No card. I hope I'll be able to access the lounges without my new card.
Anybody have the Mileage Less non-800 phone number? Thanks in advance.

As a 1MM 1K, I got both 1K cards for myself and my companion last year. I cannot seem to find my companion's 1K card in my packet this year. Are they going back to shipping it out separately? Thanks! (Edit to add: I was not searching the thread properly. It seems like my companion will receive a separate packet because she just qualified for 1MM herself this year).

Still don't have mine
I contacted 1Kvoice to let them know that even though I re-qualified for 1K in September 2017, I have yet to receive my new 2018 card and kit.
1KVoice responded that my 2018 Card and Kit were mailed on January 17.
