You could get both. When did you make Plat and 1K respectively? I made Plat in Nov 1K and Dec; I got my Plat Kit a few weeks ago and expecting 1K kit soon.

I got the straps but don't use them. I use a cable tie instead, especially for checked bags, as it is more secure. Got that idea in the DL forum years ago.

I got an unpleasant surprise:

Two days ago I received the mail after work. On the way from mail box to my door I felt something wrong since the packet seems light as I knew the wireless charger should be in the package, I ended up getting a platinum kits. I re-qualified 2020 1K on 12/31 the very last day, which may be the blame. I will email 1K Voice and see what happens next.

Anyone the same?

So my package is missing the straps. No big deal, but a bit schizophrenic: first they put a lot of effort making nice looking kits, and then they forget to add the straps.

I am currently on an extended business trip in Japan since the beginning of the year. Mrs. ErgoTraveler told me I had a package from United delivered early this week. My wife is rather unimpressed with my "mileage gossip" so she didn't describe the package to me. I look forward to opening my package. I currently use an iPhone 5S, I guess maybe this will get me to upgrade my phone... :-).

I just realized that I still did not get my 1k kit yet. I requalified back in August but did nothing t use the actual card so I did not realize that I am not having one until 2019's expiration date which is today. I live in Manhattan so it is rather strange... I am flying international today for two weeks so hopefully I get my packet before my next trip at the end of February.

The digital card (UA app) will switch over on 1 Feb and will meet all your needs for a card (except removing ice from a car's window )

And keeping the lights on in hotel rooms requiring the insertion of a key card (or equivalent).

i always receive my kit at the end of January. It finally arrived the other day. The blue handle wrap clashes with my purple rollaboard, but I guess thats a first world problem.

Just got my Silver "Membership Materials" kit in the mail today and I honestly thought they should have at least printed some benefits out or a thank you on the left side of the card. The tag does looks nicer than previous years. I miss the days when you could receive a Premier Card, it wasn't really useful if you knew your number, but it was a nice touch that made earning the status just a bit special.

Is this what you got in response to requesting the bag tags? Some not really a membership kit, but a Silver bag tag mailing (your only membership item) -- so the contents seems to match what was advertised. Maybe a lost opportunity, but what was advertised.
