AAdvantage and Admirals Club Baggage Tags
Baggage tags are sent to:
Executive Platinum members upon qualifying or requalifying (2)
AAdvantage members who achieve the 1 Million Miles (2) threshold and each 1 MM after that.
AAdvantage members are not offered opportunities to buy AA baggage tags
Some Admirals Club members have reported receiving two baggage tags as of Jul-Aug 2016. Previously, they had been discontinued; AA personalized luggage tags are no longer available on order via the aa.com website or at Admirals Clubs. (However, in post #251, made 28 Jul 2016, NYCommuter states s/he received two tags.)
We are not sure yet whether these are sent only to new members, or also renewing members, direct or Citi Executive members.

Another resource for various luggage tags, AA logo apparel, TravelPro rolling luggage etc. Is the AA DFW Employee Store, located at the lowest numbered gate in DFW Terminal C, or you can visit the store online here: http://thedfwemployeestore.com.

So, you have to be gold at that time to get the bonus.
The idea is to reward people who do better than before, but don't quite make it to the next tier.

A truly capital idea! I wish I had thought of that - after all, my status gets me so much when it is spotted at the airport, Starbucks, Target... AND it saves the hotglue I was going to use it to attach it to my forehead, helping to preserve a vital natural resource. 
(I truly do like the theory that, without having a tag displaying my personal data - which in my line of work is not a good idea - my carryon, (or is it carrion, I forget,) will be returned to AA and then to me. ^ )

It requires a minimum of two luggage tags, mounted back to back. That way, people can see the status-tag no matter which way it happens to flip-flop.

This is just an interpretation that I (and some others that I've read) share...but I don't know if it's factual any more then the converse intrpretation.

It is really quite apparent the idea is you get more points than you need to MAINTAIN your level but not enough to get to the next one, they give you this one time giftie as part of the 25th anniversary whoopdeedoodies.
Note there is nothing for "White Cards" who get less than 25,000, like a pen or something and using this logic there would have to be.

According to what JonNYC posted, tags will be for sale on AA.com Tues. Oct. 31st (unless he meant yesterday).
Edited to add:
Sales may not be online Tues after all. Due to some unexpected technical changes, the AA Luggage Tag product implementation has been postponed.

I will qualify EXP via segments (101) but will only have around 52K EQM/EQP
What will my 25 Anv. bonus be? Not enough EQM/EQP for even the PLT bonus but I moved from PLT to EXP for the first time.
