DM requal packet received today 2/14/2018
 
For those who are anxiously watching their mailboxes: Today I received my 2018 DM requalification packet in the mail from ATL.

It contains four "above and beyond" employee recognition certs, a DM card, and two DM brag tags with steel fasteners. The envelope looks similar to previous years, but with new pictures: a runner stretching by the water with the NYC skyline in the background and a woman with roller bag walking through an empty FC cabin. The "personalized" cover letter in the folder is from Sandeep Dube.

The surprise is the card and tags: Instead of metal cowbells, they're heavy plastic in DM blue-grey color with white lettering (no red or black) and the DL widget is translucent plastic so that they look very different from previous years.. My 2MM indication is hard to see and unfortunately (once again) a microscope seems to be needed to read the SkyTeam ElitePlus logo.

I think I'm going to miss the clank of the cowbells unless most people continue to use their old ones, supposedly (according to another thread here) in a breach of etiquette and show of X (fill in your favorite rude pejorative).

Happy Valentine's Day!

This MSP PM got his packet yesterday, probably because it's lighter. Or you could feel offended that mine came first. :D Nothing notably different, still two JWDs, card, and tags. All look identical to the last two years.

Is DaveTravels secretly Rene Points? The utterly absurd use of exclamation points makes me think so!

What say ye!!!!??

MSPeconomist Feb 18, 2018 11:56 pm

NO, they're distinct people.

IF nothing else, I kind of like the new cards/tags just because they are different. What's the fun of getting a tag that's exactly the same as last year?

Got mine last week as well. I, for one, will be glad to see the metal tags go. They get bent up the first time you check your bag anyway!

bump...perhaps this should be a different thread?

The red backside of the new tags is kind of a nice splash of color though.
