Not a bad idea. See this link for what we are doing on the DL Forum regarding bag tags to identify ourselves to each other and other FT'ers;

On BigLar's proposal, I might also suggest that a higher level than Platinum might keep the Lifetime Platinum's from straying as well. Marriott is still my primary hotel chain and accounts for 90% of my annual hotel stays. But some who received the Lifetime Platinum status might wander off to other hotel chains and an opportunity to reach a yet higher level might keep them in the fold.
