You should attach it to a bag that you carry with you all the time. I attached it to my notebook case when I was a silver medallion, and it caused everyone to treat me with the same respect with which Delta treats silver medallions!

Well - what a random meet-up! There's only one DiverDave I know from Huntsville... Funny to find you here, as I always think of you under the water rather than up in the sky.. (or in some airport somewhere..)

Just please don't attach your Diamond Medallion tags to your manifold, please!

That is one of the stranger things I've heard when considering whether or not to take a job.

+1 on that. I only attach my KM tag when I travel.

Boobish? No way, it is a total fashion /status statement. Like a Coach tag on a purse.......

The more tags the better. Except for the distinct clink of the DM tags. Yes, DM's, we know you are around when we hear it. I'll keep my plastic!

I have a fashionable Northwest Airlines 2005 Gold Elite tag on my carry-on (though I'm Delta Plat). I used to doff an old NWA Silver Elite tag on my bag just to consternate people who didn't get an upgrade.

I still have some 2007 NWA Gold Elite tags. They have my full name on them which I find helpful. I use those and 2011 CO Silver Elite tags on my luggage. Plus, who doesn't love nostalgia?

It was confirmed to me by DL Customer Relations that skycheck bags (CRJ etc) that have GM/PM/DM bag tags showing are supposed to be prioritised to be brought up to gate. I would say YMMV on this, but for what it's worth...

Combined with assistance by GA's/FA's on full flights for "finding a spot" in a closet or in F class, I think there are some solid arguments for using the tags.

I like the tags so much my GM tag hasn't arrived yet so I'm still rocking the luxury FO tags for my flight Thursday.

Definitely a YMMV thing. Even with my DM tag, my checked bag is among the first to go on RJ's and typically among the last to come off.

I usually take my tags off when I gate check, as several times the bag has come back with either a missing or severely bent tag.
