I have one FO tag that I use (still has the skymiles number on it so its one of the useful ones)
All my GM and FO tags besides this one have fallen off, broken in half when I got my bag back, etc. so I keep the one FO tag I have on my carry on bag.
As we all know now the PM/DM tags are worthless #bragtags without the SM number.

My FO tags I had on carry-on have all fallen off. But like ACCDraw I like them on my carry-on to annoy DM and PM flyers that think they didn't get an upgrade.
The one I have is showing a lot of wear.

Over time, almost all of mine have broken off. However, when they stopped putting your SM number on them, I started printing the bar code and taped them onto my bag tags, which have lasted over the years.

I have a stack of DM luggage tags collecting dust. Only dorks attach them to their carry ons, thinking this would afford them some special treatment. The GAs and FAs already know who the DMs (and MMs) are on their manifests so no one takes those "brag" tags seriously. Given that there are tons of DM tages you can buy on eBay, anyone who is lame enough to attach them probably doesn't actually have DM status.

yep. I totally agree with this. Dorks and new medallions. They serve no function. Worthless. Just because you fly more than other people doesn't mean anything. Airline status is certainly not a status symbol.

Actually these tags saved me big time not too long ago (it was my AA EXP tag though). I left my laptop bag accidentally in the LAX Admirals Club with my company laptop in it (so dumb and not like me, but I digress). A club agent was able to track me down thanks to my tags, called me and shipped the bag to my hotel. I offered to pay for it, but never was charged.

DL tags don't even at least have your full name on them? In that case I can see why they're pointless. If AA's didn't have our names on them, you can't really even write it on them unless I'd mark them up with a black sharpie which would not look good.

I guess if they have a lost bag with a Plat tag, they can just email all the DL Platinum members asking who lost it???
