Silver renewal enhancements - no bag tags....
 
Just got my silver membership renewal pack with no bag tags. Perhaps they have been reading FT and are trying to be peacemakers? Or maybe it is just a money saving scheme....

I’ve just ordered one through my account and it did say “tag”rather than “tags” so I am expecting just one :td:

You don't need them anyway really I am Gold and don't use mine they are still in the Envelope. All they say is "luck at me I have status"

I'll become Silver for the first time after my Monday flight and was quite looking forward to them as a token, even though I most likely wouldn't display them. Hopefully this isn't the case, or us newbies retain the treat at least!

Opinion is, inevitably, divided on that subject ... as has been discussed here on numerous occasions ;)

^ Good that BA are paying some attention to the amount of plastic waste in the world. I say this as a soon to be not bronzie - not as if I fly enough to ever wear out the tags!

Weird. My wife received her silver card pack this week and it included 2 luggage tags (which she has no intention to use either). Look again, they are on a piece of cardboard hidden behind the card itself.

Just checked my new ‘downgrade to silver’ pack. And no luggage tags for me either.

Perhaps they guessed that I’ll be carrying on using my gold ones for as long as I can...

No tags for me in my minimalist renewal package.

Nope, definitely not, I must be in a lower silver tier :confused:

Come think of it: you won’t get them for renewal or for soft landing. Is that your case?

not sure you got new tags when you renew a tier. there is no expiry date on the tags so no reason for new ones

Are they saying "luck at me" or "lucky me"?

Makes sense, although I thought I got some last year, but perhaps I was mistaken

"Tag" should come as a pair - my last ones did.

I changed my name on marriage and got the new card without tags; you'd have thought they'd include tags in that because the old ones would genuinely be "out of date" with a name not matching my ticket but not so, I had to request them. It said "tag" and my heart sank assuming I'd have to request another, but it was a pair that came on one piece of card.
