Wish they would have sent a physical membership card instead - that has use.
So...lol...I actually wrote in and complained about the lack of a physical membership card. Here's the first part of the response I got back:

"We made a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and no longer send out Executive PlatinumŽ membership cards"

So it's greenwashing, is it? I mean aside from the absurdity of a global airline trying to reduce it's carbon footprint by eliminating a few plastic cards compared to say...the fuel consumption of it's operations on a daily basis, if you are going to eliminate a plastic card: how about you eliminate the useless one (the luggage tag) and keep the one that has use in certain situations?

Just tell me it's a cost-saving measure. I'd be less annoyed with that than a blatantly laughable greenwash.
