E-mailed 1k voice requesting baggage handle wrap in hopes of special dispensation. Was explicitly told no due to covid supplier issues.

I hope they’ll mail something out next year to those who qualified for 1K the “hard” way in 2021.

UA does not distinguish 1K by ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ way. This is the cost saving measure. Hope that you won’t be too disappointed.

True of course, but the wrap is a lot more useful for those doing it the 'hard' way, since it usually means a lot of RJ flights. That said the hard way now (> 35 segments) doesn't mean what it used to do (> 120 segments).

"covid supplier issues" - such rich response from UA - lol

UA: lower your expectations...there is always some issues.

I just received my EXP package from AA.

I really don't need a 1K package, but UA should just stop lying.

I haven't been able to use mine with reduced travel . . . I have a bunch expiring Jan. '22, which I think are the last ones UA sent out.

One FA this year told me they weren't issuing them any longer as if to say they won't be accepting them any longer (I know they didn't issue a batch in Jan 2021 . . . )

I got my UA Silver from my Marriott Titanium status. Will UA mail me any brag tags or membership material? I didn't receive anything in 2021. Maybe I'll have to call them to get it?

I don't believe they mail anything. Best way is to go to the home page of the United App. Your Blue General Member Card should change to a Silver Card. When you click the card, you can see the expiration date. UA usually does this quickly.

I haven't received anything from UA for 5 years now, and during those times, I have been Gold, Plat, and 1K. Nothing, nada.

As I have mentioned in the past, I have been treated best when I was a Silver member. Stay there!

There were no memberships kits in 2021 due to cost, No UA MP elite physical membership materials / kits for 2021, and doubt there will be any for 2022

Believe Silver kits stopped about 2017? and Gold kits about 2019? and no kits in 2021
In 2017 & 2018? there was a mechanism for requesting bag tags but not recently

I can’t imagine they will ever send anything out physically ever again.

While I can imagine some return to a physical package, I suspect that you may be right since marketing is evolving into a purely virtual process.

I may be late n the minority, but I prefer everything in the app. The handle wraps are a nice touch, but there is no need for cards or tags.
