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.

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?

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?

Gold and Silver can request bag tags but as far as I am aware no annual physical membership cards.

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