I dont see them anymore around the airports: did M&M stop giving them away? Are people too ashamed using them caus they all wanna be SENS or do the FQTs leather buy the red tags on eBay and put their card then in there???

M&M still gives these out (and you can also have them send new ones on request). I normally use them on my checked-in baggage. For showing off, you'd rather want a SEN or HON one, though.
Personally, I never have tags on hand luggage.
I used my tags on checked luggage, with which I do the least possible "wandering around" on airports.
Now that I have SEN tags, I use these (I like the FTL tags more but they got worn off) and I attach thee to my luggage with the metal FTL attach-thingies for extra durability.
Ordering extra tags to show off with on my hand luggage struck me a being a bit cheap. And: the hand luggage goes where I go, so no need for tags

I used my FTL tags for the checked in bags and I lost both the tags within 6 months.. when I got the baggage, it was with only the wire and no tag.. the FTL tag gets easily cracked IMO.. I then ordered another pair and now use it .. But for the checked in bags, I find the tags given by Priority club better though even they r plastic..

Happened to me way too often in past, too. After a nice letter to Miles and More a nice package with 10 tags arrived. 6 months after - only 5 remained... Time to launch a new order...

You got 10 of those? Use them all at once! At least a few will hang through
My (I thought unbreakable) suitcase came up less one wheel the other day. I wonder how they managed to do that
All new to this forum; and for a good start I thought of coming along with a real nice dumb question for you folks:
Welcome to FT and the M&M forum, thomasalexandre!

What makes you believe your FTL tags helped you to get an upgrade? I highly doubt it!
As pointed out by others FTL tags are still around but I don't see any value by attaching them to hand luggage. The "show-off-factor" is rather limited, anyway.

If in past in my case it happened that out of 5 flights 4 led to tags missing, then I have not problem asking them to send 10 at once, thus saving their and my time to write/reply to similar emails every 2-3 weeks. I explained the situation and asked if it would be possible. Miles and More in Tokyo said, "gladly."
As for upgrades, then for sure, luggage tags do not count. It is either at gate/check-in because of your (visible in PRN)status/fare. None of the agents would even think of checking out the luggage tags
