The other day I waited for my PDX-SAN bags to show up. The SEA-SAN bags were queued up first. I knew that flight was almost done unloading when the orange tags started showing up... dead last. Seriously -- except for the increased likelihood of BSG, this is one of the worst sorts of frequent flyer perks. I hope you use Alaska Listens every time it happens to you.
Back on topic -- I can think of a LOT of ways to use an extra $79 (or $158, since I always check a trade-show bag as well). Buying this doesn't even rise toward the top-third of the list. I just don't see the point.
