Is UA still issuing 1P cards?
I realized just before I left for LHR a few weeks ago that I didn't have a 1P card for 2008. In the past, I felt like I've really made use of the card (e.g., for bossy RC matrons and to flash at agents when going to check in at a 1P lane). It turned out that I didn't have any trouble in the end, but was just wondering: have they stopped sending out gold cards?

No they haven't stopped issuing them - If you travel internationally, you really need a physical card to get in the lounges. Contact UA and have them send you a new one.

What?
You mean they haven't replaced the physical card with one you can print off the internet? Oh, bollocks, that's next year's enhancement.

United has an imaginary address on file for me. When I look at my online account my address looks fine. I have mail forwards on a previous address. United cards haven't made it to me for 2 years...RCC...1P. Each time I have to request a new one sent. They don't like reissuing RCC cards either! $50!

I qualified July 4, and the card arrived (to my MSP address) August 12.
I feel badly for others still waiting as I only fly UA and NZ, and NZ lets you into their quite desirable lounge just on the "*G" on the boarding pass.
