I've lost a few US preferred tags over the years (the ones they used to give out free every year to preferreds). One on a checked piece that simply vanished somewhere between PHL and SAN. One on a carry on (of all things
) that "may have shifted during flight" ripping the tag off - I didn't notice until I got to the hotel. And one that simply disintegrated after years of abuse. I'm down to just a few intact tags left, so I guess making CP this year has substantial added importance
