Correct. However, the memo sent to the baggage folks says otherwise. Don't know why you threw it away...

Just the text, not the wrap itself. In retrospect, I do realize that most trash can references on this board imply differently.

Ah, I see. Yes, most people mean something different in this thread. :)

Got mine today; made 1k last September. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the literature that comes with the thing describes its purpose as allowing you to find your bag more easily; no priority is discussed. I would quote the exact text, but it's already pretty far down in my trash can.

Something to the effect of:

You're one of our most valued customers and we want to make sure we can identify your bags as special so put these tags on so we know that the bag belongs to a valuable customer.

Got mine in the mail last week, feels flimsier than I expected it to be. Can't complain for free I suppose...

Mine came a week after emailing 1K desk. I will assume that the quantity should be 1. Not sure why I was expecting 2.

This type of positive attitude from the people on the ground that actually make things happen is what business is all about! Can't thank them enough for the hard work they do day in and day out ! ^

I emailed 1K Voice asking for a bag handle (I'm a new 1K) and was told they don't have any. Since it seems other people are getting them, should I try emailing again, or is there a better way? Has anyone else been told that they're out?

They don't have any left??????? What, the mould broke so they can't make more, the sweatshops in Asia are out of business??? Thats ridiculous

Saturday at EWR - 3rd from last. Every other UAEX station I fly into now, it's either the first one delivered or it's delivered separately ahead of the rest of the bags.

Just got another one in the mail yesterday. (I had to request one last year). Seems the same except the "united" logo seemed to have been glued/sewn on a little crooked.

So what happens if you're not 1K anymore?
 
After three years of 1K (and CO PL before that) my travel went to nothing last year. I managed to make silver by the skin of my teeth. Will my wrap sefl-destruct in 30 seconds? Or will they rip it off the first time I use it (forgetting to take it off my bag)?

Or, will they change the color to red or blue and ship out a whole new pile of them to weed out the newly minted riff-raff? :D

FWIW

Made in China explains it all. They are all off for lunar New Years celebrations. :confused:

P50sundevil Feb 4, 2014 11:24 am

I was told "they are currently not issuing wraps, but that they might run the promotion later in the year."

Then how is if that other people are receiving them?
