United's Premier 1K packet arrived in the mail. It contained the 1K phone number, baggage tags, advertisements for a credit card and a car, along with ten drink vouchers.
The drink vouchers are unwanted. A premium that would be well-received could be a couple transferable United Club vouchers or a couple vouchers for in-flight food boxes.
The mailing is uninspiring. If United provided an option to opt-out of receiving this packet, I would opt-out.
In years past I was "Premier Exec" (50,000 miles) on United Airlines. Knowing the airline mileage game, when it is not inconvenient I book a longer multi-leg trip if the price is comparable. This allows for more miles, in case I would start frequent travel again. In 2012, I made a mileage run vacation to qualify for Premier Silver. In 2013, I took mini vacations with mileage runs that totaled about 115,000 flight miles. In 2014, I am going to spend more going where I want, when I want.

United's New SFO Terminal
United's new terminal in San Francisco airport is interesting. It sports a hidden-away yoga room, hidden shoe shine stand, and a few trendy shops. The dual-monitor system above gates are less helpful than they could be. The new construction materials are still noticeably off-gassing. Plenty of counter space with outlets is a nice modern upgrade. Hopefully the outlets will be able to withstand frequent use, without loosening up and consequently not holding the charging terminals securely.
