This is my second year as a MM Premier Gold, and my "Premier Kit" was equally worthless. I received some useless postage-stamp size Gold bag tag, and that's it. The only thing I've received that actually shows I'm a MM is a worthless lucite tchotchke that I threw in the shitcan. Why can't UA give MMs a Premier card showing that status? Worthless.

Finally got my 1K kit last week. Pretty much the same as last year but really like the coaster addition - nice touch!

Got my GS kit yesterday. Question: don't GS/1K get 6 new GPUs at the beginning of each new qualifying calendar year, or am I mistaken? If so, when do those post? (Nothing on my account yet.)

No you get the GPUs and RPUs once you requalify and then after you subsequent 25k markers (e.g. 125,000 means +2 RPUs and 150,000 means +2 GPUs and +2 RPUs).

Received mine yesterday after it shipped on the 25th - the "four to six weeks" is obviously a wild over-estimate. The coasters are really nice!

1K kit shipped 1/25 and arrived yesterday. Coasters have been somewhat over-hyped on this thread IMO.

Got mine on the 29th.... Seems to be a better presentation than other years. Coasters are nice, but Boston and not Denver? Are they trying to say something?
