Yeah, you put the stickers on the inside of the bag.
I just recently found my 2003 Elite luggage tags. I think I am going to throw them on a couple bags... maybe replace the 3 with a 5.

Platinum Credentials
Yep, got the new Platinum Card today, with 4 Continental Currency Coupons , the pair of sticky (or is that tacky?) luggge ID Tags that you put inside your checked baggage, and the new Elite guide titled "From Travelled to Well-Travelled"
Oh well.......... I would have thought that Plats should have got 6 coupons compared to Gold who got 4.

Sky Team Logo
Has anyone mentioned the new "Sky Team Elite Plus" logo next to the CO trademark on the front of the card? I can't remember what the benefits are for this.
Plus... what is the deal with Plat's and Gold's getting the same number of coupons...next thing you know silvers will be getting unlimited upgrades.
