Just made EXP / Executive Platinum! Resources, ask questions, brag (2017+)

First, a hearty welcome to Executive Platinum status!

New Executive Platinum members, whether "self-made", via your Concierge Key nomination or made by AA offers, including challenges, to similar status holders from competing airlines, often have questions about how the program works.

Feel free to post your questions here, but also be aware many of your questions about American Airlines, AAdvantage and Executive Platinum status can be answered in these resources:
Link to What are Executive Platinum / EP / EXP benefits? Are they worth it? (consolidated) thread on FT

Link to AAdvantage Elite Status guide and charts on aa.com

Link to "FAQ: American Airlines and AAdvantage - Please check here first!" thread.

Very similar case for me.

Qualified Dec 9th and received my tags last week.

Received mine a few days ago. Not sure which day as I was flying. Disappointed to see they removed the Million Miler status from the bag tags

Agreed, not happy to see the MM removed.
They put it on the card but not bag tag.

Just another thing to make me ?? The New American.

Mine have the million miler label. I actually wondered if I wanted that much information on my bag-tags.

You have to manually request them, they are not automatically sent to you. It takes 2-3 weeks after you request them to receive them.

Huh? That's not true.

Every time I've qualified for EXP, the card and [absolutely pointless] luggage tags have automatically shown up some weeks later.

This is incorrect; they do not have to be requested, and the status card and two baggage cards are sent automatically. It may take as long as several weeks to receive them.

...
In 16 years as EP, I've never had to request a card or baggage tags.

Anyone qualified for 2017 yet?
I bought a couple of the QR R fares to Asia so I'm hoping to requalify by end of March.

I am halfway there. About 7500 EQD and 54000 EQM.

I got a feeling that I am going to hit a new personal record this year.

I'm with ya there! I'll requalify by the end of March, thanks in part to the QR Asia steals. ($890 for QR F on the A380?! So fun)!

My million mile #'s are there

Both my card and the bag tags show my 3,000,000 mile status
