Let's use this thread to report actual delivery of the packets and comments about the kit contents.
Please no "nothing yet" posts , at least until we get to 31 Jan 2019, when that may mean there is an issue. UA just states you should get the kit in January.

In the past, UA has used mystatus.united.com to report shipment status of the kits.
Not confirmed yet, the link on mystatus.united.com for requesting luggage tags suggests there may be no physical Silver or Gold membership kits for 2019. Appears confirmed no Gold / Silver cards are requestable
Also new this year is the "welcome letter" on mystatus.united.com

You missed the nicer ones United gave last year. With the skyline images of New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I would have preferred a skyline image of Rio de Janeiro with the Corcovado or the Pao de Azucar. On the map, the only thing I recognize is the Bridge to Niteroi.

I would be happy to do my part by relieving you of the weight of those extra coasters

I just got my 1k package today.
Interesting choices of cities if you ask me, not United's most frequented destinations.

AMS: Tons of flights, from EWR, ORD, SFO, IAH and IAD, pretty robust schedule!
SIN: Two flights per day, both from SFO.
GIG: A only one flight per day, from IAH. UA has a much more robust presence in Săo Paulo.
AKL: Currently daily, but come 30 Mar, only three flights per week, from SFO.

Are these supposed to be cities that they're trying to drum up interest in?

This is my first year having anything higher than platinum. Was I supposed to receive a kit when I hit that level and then a second for 1K? Or do they just send one out EOY for the highest level you received? I qualified for plat in September, 1K in mid-December.

Reached 1k in Sep 2018, received 2018 1k kit around October, domestic coasters. Received the 2019 1k kit today, international coasters. Apologies for the blurry image.

If you started the year with a status lower than Plat, then you should have gotten a Plat kit. If you had been a Plat beore Septemebr, then no new kit until the standard January process. You only receive a kit mid-year if you achieve a status higher than you started the year at.

However, later in the year (such as December) UA stops sent out kits and waits till the normal process in January. (probably later January in your case)

Actually I am a 2018 Plat from 2017 and requalified in Oct. Got the Plat kit a few weeks ago. Qualified for 1K before EOY so pending a new kit.

That is not standard. Requalifiers don't get mid-year kits. That is done in January.

Heck, I just crossed into 1K territory and my updated electronic MileagePlus 1K card says "Valid through 01/2019".

Monday. The electronic card changed to 1K as soon as the flight posted but the expiration is whacked out. Don't know what it was before the change.
