Are MM companion 1K's also receiving the kit, or will I need to request a second blue handle wrap separately for Mrs tarheelnj?

Companions do not receive a separate kit.
Additional wraps can not be requested until February -- Robin’s Egg Blue UA handle wraps - No more yellow handle wraps?

Might as as well just cut it across the board, now.

Just status matched to DL. They would not accept a screen shot of my account home page showing 1K and Milion Miler status, but required me to send a photo of my 1K "credential card" before processing the match. So, in some cases a physical card can still be useful.

Received my 1K kit today. Pleasantly surprised to see they decided to mix things up this year and replace the coasters with the wireless charger; although both are basically useless to me. Also noticed that only 1 book of 5 drink coupons were provided, rather than the typical 3. Again, not a big deal, as I still have mine 2019 and likely earlier ones around here somewhere.

FYI about the wireless charger: It plugs into an outlet via a micro-USB connection, not USB-C like any new non-Apple smartphone. Which is irrelevant in my case, since my phone doesn’t include wireless charging.

I received my 1K welcome kit today as well. I like the wireless charger and now have it plugged into a wall outlet using an adapter. No coasters but I have 12 of them already so won't miss them.

As with recent years, there's an excessive amount of packaging, which many people just throw into the garbage and don't recycle. No need to pad the package with polystyrene, in my opinion.

Re qualified for Plat in August, qualified for 1K in December after many years absence.

I received a Plat kit today :rolleyes:

Which was probably shipped before you made 1K.
You get the 1K in next few weeks - no lost.

Received my 1K kit today. Already gave away the crappy charger... Would've preferred more drink tickets to give to soldiers.

Got my 1K kit today, I actually liked the charger. Now let's see what AA and DL send me.

Wow those kits looks so cool! I’m curious though why the stickied post at top says Silver and Gold haven’t received physical cards in years. I got a physical card for hitting Silver for the first time last year and the website let me request a physical Gold card for this year. Is that post referring to something different?

No GS kit yet (in Chicago). Kind of looking forward to the charger it keep on my desk at work.

Gold and Silver can request bag tags but as far as I am aware no annual physical membership cards.
I dropped back to Gold last year and did not receive an offer to get a Gold card. Did receive the Plat card once I hit 75K PQMs this year.

Was the card the same size / shape as a conventional credit card with your name, membership number and a magnetic strip on the back?

Ah no it did not have those things and was a bit smaller than a credit card, so I see the difference. From the front in the photos above they looked similar with the hole at the top.

I take it the membership cards are then essentially a physical version of the digital one you get in the app?
