Surely you mean "publicly caring" about it....lots of folks seem to care, to know how to get one, etc.! ;-)

In the last few years I always thought that having status on BA was something to be embarrassed about.

I still have my bronze (rust) and silver tags, useful for when I drop down from my current level...

If prices stay as they are I have a feeling silver tags will reappear again due to demand!

If you were rich - I'd run off with you as Mr Clooney has so far failed to answer my calls and texts. However you are not super rich otherwise you'd be Gold yourself. Ah! Another romance dies.

A quick stock check revels the following spares ...
BA Silver 14
BA Gold 11
VS Red 2

That's see me out, I suspect!

I genuinely can't tell if you're being facetious or not.

Maybe he had enough of being associated with BA@LHR this year and found a golden opportunity to give it a toss.

I find the pathetic leather/faux leather strap just undoes itself. However, if you swap that for one of those metal screw-together straps, then the plastic by the hole eventually snaps. It's a lose-lose.

The only way to keep my precious gold tag safe is to put it inside a more robust luggage tag that takes credit-card sized inserts. Sadly this means no-one gets to see how important I am.
