Random United gift box received Nov 2023 -- For who? Why?
 
Currently on a trip in the Central Asian Stan countries, but just received a shipping notification from FedEx from BirdieBox addressed to my home with my name and United Airlines. It will be sometime before I am home next, but is UA gifting GS some wireless chargers or other cool tech gifts? It's been awhile since they have given GS anything besides luggage tags.

yes, not sure if it's only/all GS or some other criteria within the MP status.

im also currently out of the country… exactly what may (or may not!) expect to get from United when I get home?

For reference, I am somewhere north of 80k PQP for the year.

I haven't received (or alerted to) anything and am over $100k PQD so far this year... not sure how they are working the algorithm ;-)

The packages are coming from Doral / Miami. I’m a 1k with 60k+ PQP this year and just got one…

Wireless earbuds, a warming mug that wirelessly charges, and a dual Qi charger! No specific reason why…

Just got a box from United that contained a video message card from Kirby, a travel thermos that maintains the temp of your drink, a dual charging pad that you can also charge the thermos on and a set of earbuds with a charger case.

Not bad considering I wasn't expecting anything as I've never gotten more than the usual welcome kit.

Random United gift box received
 
Anyone else get randomly selected to receive the United gift birdie box? It included a video card, heated coffee mug and ear buds.

I am 1K (been a 1K for several years now), and have about 45k PQP’s this year. I at first thought this a million miler gift (just crossed the threshold) but nothing denotes “million miler”.

Received today as well via fedex. Similar stats to yours.

Edit to clarify - about 45k actual spend this year, 95% paid first, EWR based. Non MM status.

Million miler box says so on the outside (on shipping label) . . . and is pretty obvious on the inside.

I am at $70k ...so far ... nothing

This may be a UA PQP thing vs including partners?

Someone mention million mile comments, high UA PQPs and million mile?

Anyone else get a GS (?) gift set today? A box from United unexpectedly showed up at my door, containing a wireless charging station, a USB-heated thermos, and a throwaway Android tablet with a video of Scott Kirby thanking me for my loyalty.

Most importantly, does this mean I re-qualified for GS? 😂
