Just got my snail mail with my 1 million Platinum card and two luggage tags.

I am very happy that the Eagle and stripes on the luggage tags are shiny metallic, rather than the mottled/stippled metallic eagle and stripes on the platinum FF card (the latter is also a different color than the background color of the card itself, not just the lack of "AAdvantagePlatinum" text repeated across it). Makes me doubly curious why the card isn't a shiny metallic when they do that for the luggage tags.

Another suggestion would be to fill in the oval with the "1" in gold metallic to symbolize the lifetime Gold status, and make the achievement stand out more on the card. Higher numbers would of course have their oval filled in with platinum metallic to symbolize the lifetime Platinum status.

Just to make us feel warmer and fuzzier.

And, yes--between my big feet and swelled head, I really can walk on water.
