This is an archive thread, the active thread is UA Mailing Blue Bag Handle Wraps to 1K/GS Customers, restarted for new 1Ks?
If you did not receive a Yellow Baggage Wrap when you reached 1K or you need another one, email 1Kvoice and request another one. They should respond and tell you that they will ship you one out within 7-10 business days.
If they do not respond to your original email, send another email.
If they do respond but do not mail you a Yellow Baggage Wrap within 10 business days then re-request one with a copy of their original response.
The bag wrap can provide priority processing of your gate check bags on UX. It may help checked bags also but the primary benefits is first delivery of gate check bags. It is not 100% (this is UA
) but with time it has become very common benefit for many UX flights.
The only known formal mention of Yellow Wraps (but only readable by GS)

No, as I recall I got my first when I reached 1K status and then got them every year until really last year. I have a bunch of them now and don't really use them as intended. Somebody posted they sell them on ebay, seems like a total waste but to each his own.
nder, did those who received them multiple times change MP levels at some point in time?

I emailed the 1K line and received this response:
Thanks for taking the time to write to us. We’re glad to hear from you.
At this time and we can't put in a request for fulfillment until the vendor opens the portal again. Please contact us after 1/31/19 and we will be happy to request them for you.

1KVoice has been supremely responsive lately. Feel like United’s firing on all cylinders right about now.

I've only been 1K for a few months and emailed the 1K voice line twice. Both times I received a response within 24 hours. The last time was just a few hours. I am impressed with the level of service so far!

I like that career: vintner. I'm on the consuming side......
It must be quite a shock for you about the wines on UA. Last year, the FA told the person sitting next to my wife that the Catena wine was from Italy. About 30 minutes later, my wife felt that it was her duty to tell that passenger that the Catena wine was from Argentina.

Became 1K late in the fall of 2018. Received my 2018 1K kit and then my 2019 1K kit but no sight of the hello handle wrap.
Since I take a lot of UX flights, I emailed 1K voice to order one and they responded to me that they will be sent separately during the first quarter of 2019.
I'm based in Canada so I do hope they'll send me one. If I haven't received it in April, I'll try again and ask to have it delivered to my office in Colorado.

FYI--I just got off the phone with Mileage Plus and "they turned the manual system back on" so you can call and order yellow bag handles.
The agent explained that in November "they" turn the manual request system off so agents aren't ordering cards that are only good for a few weeks.

You actually have to request it, it won’t come on it’s own. If you haven’t asked for it yet, just shoot an email to the 1K line and ask for one (include your MP# and shipping address to speed it up). I just put my request in for this year for both my wife and I... they told my 1K wife, 2-3 weeks and my (GS) 4-5 weeks... the race is on!

Made 1K for the first (and probably only) time last year; figured I might as well email 1K Voice about it. Got a reply today that it was requested and should arrive in 2-3 weeks (no mention of it "already being ordered").
