I received my 1K kit yesterday, contents the same as everyone else. No MM companion card, and the Mrs was pretty ticked about that !

FWIW, got my 1K kit today. I didn't understand what folks were talking about WRT the window, so here's a few shots of the box.

It comes wrapped in a clear plastic:



Without the plastic wrap:



If you lift the flap which has the window cut out, the photo graphic cover of the packet that holds the 1K materials is kept in a recess and held in place with two tabs:



Once the tabs are moved/lifted so you can extract the packet, here's how it folds out:



Behind the "Welcome to 1K Premier status" description material are the straps for the luggage tags and the 5 drink coupons:



Lifting out the 1K packet completely, the robin blue luggage wrap and the wireless charger are revealed:

That packaging looks like it costs more than the average Polaris meal.

It made me sick to see it. It’s worse than last year. What a waste.

Apparently my 1K Kit was sent to my wife’s company’s office in a different state. The only thing I can think of is that at some point I booked a ticket for her for work while logged in to my MP account and put that address in as the billing address. I guess they almost threw it away!!

They have not in recent years but there are reports of no companion card in the member kits and some references to virtual card. No reports of companions having received a separate kit. So at this point, insufficient info to draw any conclusion.

What if the GS companion is 1K by own qualification?

1K kit or nothing?

Probably too small of a subset to have many other posted examples. There are still 3 weeks or more for kit arrivals, so unless there has been a matching case posted, it is still a wait and see.

I’m a 1MM companion who receives gold by default but myself attained platinum in 2018, 1K during 2019 and now am GS (MM alternates between gold and plat depending on yearly spend)

I received plat kit in 2018, 1K kit this past summer when I made it and sure as heck better get a GS kit but nothing yet as I’ve been GS for less than a week.

Ill also add I never received anything during years I made gold or less.

I received my kit today. 1K with all the things folks have listed BUT it was missing the 1K card and luggage tags for my MM companion (my son). Normally this arrived in this same package as my card.

Has something changed this year?

(I see others posted that in past years their MM companion got a separate package but for the past couple of years my MM companion card and luggage tags arrived with mine.)
