Does anyone else keep their old Altitude baggage tags?

My laptop bag always the current status tag, since it very occasionally saves time while boarding or going into priority line somewhere.
Beyond that, any bag that needs a (new) tag gets one that is hanging around, which is either the other current status tag, or a random other tag, perhaps stolen from another less frequently used tag.
No bags have more than one tag, since a second tag if it ever existed would have been scavenged for some other bag

I like using my old E35K tags and when boarding say "I can't believe they upgraded me of all people"....
Haven't done it yet, but based on some reactions on FT I am tempted to!

And when I do replace a tag, I prefer (and reuse) the leather straps; I use a hole punch to enlarge the hole, and I find the combination much more durable than the wire (which just seems to rip through the tag).
