I received a Platinum kit a couple weeks ago. But I'm 1K. And I reached Platinum and 1K within 10 days of each other on the same reservation in November. So I have no idea why I got a Platinum kit at the end of January.

I only got 5 drink chits in my 1K kit this year.

Then again, we also get an expires-at-end-of-flight drink chit for EVERY flight we take this year, so...

I havent received anything yet, but am wondering if my 2018 Platinum drink coupons which expired 31 Jan will still be usable - any thoughts?

The expiry is (almost) never a problem.

Second year in a row that I haven't received anything for my MP Gold status.

Actually, that's not quite true: Last year, after a lengthy back and forth exchange e-mails about getting a kit, they sent me a MP Gold membership card...

PMCO had drink coupons for Gold and even Silver at one point if I remember correctly as well as bag tags with your name printed on them.

I look forward to trying my digital card in a *A lounge in Europe in April.

Please report back, maybe take a picture of the lounge dragon shaking their finger "No!" at you. :-) I'm wondering if any *A are matching UA status right now so I can get a physical card for some upcoming travel. :-)

FWIW I had no problem using my digital card at the Avianca lounge in MEX earlier this year. And it's been years since I've needed to show a card in Europe, just last month I visited a number of LH and LX lounges and my boarding pass was sufficient.

I received my 1k kit in Kabul, Afghanistan today. According to the kit's postage, it mailed on 10 December 2018 and arrived via Afghan Mail in Kabul 3 weeks later, where it sat in customs to be checked and processed for two months (or for someone to show up and pay a bribe to have it released), but it just arrived on my compound today (again no bribe!).

Funny thing is...this is my 6th or 7th consecutive year at 1k, and yet this is the first kit that I've ever received. I've been abroad for 10 years now, and have always used my parents' US address as my permanent address. However they are in Florida during winters, and apparently the Premier Kits are not allowed to be mail forwarded; attempts to reach a solution (proactively calling 1k Line asking to mail the kit to a temporary address) was never accepted by UA.

With UA increasing the PQD requirements, it's now a challenge for me to meet the same PQD even though I easily surpass 100,000 miles each year, so I finally switched my registered address to my actual physical location (as opposed to the token US address). And now I get my first kit (and my first card).

I received my 1K Kit in Suzhou China (100km west of Shanghai) today; it was mailed on January 10 -- so roughly 7 weeks to get here. Inside was my 1K card & 5 drink chits, and also a 1K card & 5 drink chits for my traveling companion (since I'm also a 1MM). The drink coasters were neat, but I'd be happier if the four of them were for places I visited before instead of random places I haven't been!

Question: I've requested my Premier Silver kit on the Mileage Plus website late December 2018. 4-6 weeks was quoted as the delivery time and i'm still waiting. Does anyone know if there was delays? Should I call in?

Call in if you really need the luggage tags and a bunch of advertisement. Silvers don't get a membership card.

Just wanted to add to my collection of useless things. Cheers

I have a box filled with luggage tags and membership cards starting from the 90's. Lots of different airline and hotel companies.
