Got my 1K kit yesterday. I re-qualified just before Thanksgiving.

Love the charger. Will be a perfect place to keep my phone at work.

I qualified for 1K in October, having been Plat the year before. I got the kit with coasters but a card good through Jan. 2021. I assume I am out of luck for the 2020 kit with the charger. Looks like I got a hybrid kit.

Are MM companion cards being sent separately this year? I received my 1K kit today, but only my card. Ms. 1K has not received anything.

Edit: Just read the brochure and it says, “their digital membership card can be found on the United mobile app.”

My MM companion card came in my package -- we "share" a common address.

So, I crossed 1MM after I qualified for 1K, so should the Mrs. expect a companion card? See above post for the hybrid 1K package I got.

If signed up, yes -- probably will come separately in this case as a new companion.

You're right, that's a 2020 kit, which you got for newly qualifying for 1K in 2019, but you should be expecting a 2021 kit with the charger in the coming weeks as well. Unclear when the cutoff is for when they send you a 2020 kit in addition to 2021--I newly qualified on 10/27 and haven't received either 2020 or 2021, though I suspect my foreign mailing address has something to do with this.

As recently as a few years ago, you’d reliably end up getting both kits, even if the first one had the full year+ expiration date. Haven’t read reports since then (but no negative reports either) so fingers crossed!

A friend got both this year. I'm in the same boat but have gotten neither, presumably due to some holdup with my foreign address as I previously speculated.

Just received my Plat Kit - I made Plat in November and 1K in December. Should be expecting my 1K kit in a few weeks? (I'm in Canada)

My kit arrived yesterday. Only received one coaster this time and it has this USB cord for it. Is it really a coffee cup warmer?

Same here. Platinum kit came with bag tags and drink tickets. I have not received the 1K kit yet (US-based).

My experience is the same as yours. I think I'm still working my way through my 2016 ones...
I have a few from different vintages too

I received my 1K kit today but no card for my MM companion. The brochure also said the companion membership card can be found on the United mobile app. Anybody else beside WineCountryUA received a MM companion membership card?
