Got my 1K kit today here in Germany, so at the very last moment I guess.

Anyone the same?
Update: Got 1K kit bigger package yesterday, so I got 5 more drink vouchers though never use.

WineCountryUA Yeah, I guess it was as advertised, but I was saying for the type of envelope & mailing that was sent it should have had at least a Thank you for reaching Premier Silver or some benefits listed... I would have accepted a regular blue or even plain envelope as this was a thick envelope and a card that held the luggage tag.

Website said mine was shipped on the 24th. Of course hasn't arrived. I fear that even though I changed by address in Late Nov that somehow United sent it to the wrong place. I wonder if Mileage Plus dept can lookup the tracking number?

Wonder if they will finally give international address members the Luggage Handle wrap. I have been 1K for 5+ years and have never been able to get one of those yellow ones... Hoping for a blue one this year.

I changed my address with United in October or so and I got a call from my old apartment building yesterday saying they had something from United for me.

Yeah my kit went to asia. Mileage Plus desk said that address changes don't make their way over to them for quite a while. I guess we should feel safe that our personal data is so secure, even United itself doesn't have up-to-date access to it. These things get generated and mailed out in batches every two weeks so I won't get it for 3. So it goes.

Got mine last week in Japan. Nothing for my wife/companion, though. I need her physical card a) for LH lounge access and b) to get "preferred access" at HKG. Would it be best to send message to 1Kvoice?

Have you been denied access with a *G BP or digital card recently -- say last 18 months? You might find that things have changed,

However, it is been reported UA might provide cards on request after mid-Feb (and probably will take 4-6 weeks) but the need for the card may be less than most think (remember issues from years ago).

Finally received my 1K kit today, a mere 5 months after requalifying (Sept. 4, 2019).

Surprised to discover the "Premier 1K" logo on the charger is just a white cardboard paste-on. Looks kind of low-budget.

Has that not been the practice in the past as a requalifier than the kits aren't generally sent out until January?

Never this late. Considering I requal'd in early September, you'd think they could get me the new one before the old one expired.

Have you actually needed the physical card in the past year (instead of the digital card? which is always up-to-date). The physical card is becoming an anachronism.
Will grant I also carry the physical card but old habits die hard.
