My offer remains open - I'll be glad to meet any of you in person and buy you a beer or similar in the SkyClub. I'll be in ATL & DTW clubs 3 times this week , 3 times next week. I promise to stop staring at my tags as I usually like to look at people in the eyes.

I'm with Tomphot on this debate. Not that I care who knows I'm Diamond (currently at least), but it sets the stage for a real MM devaluation.Perhaps no more "unlimited" domestic upgrades for Silvers and 1MM'ers.

I'd be glad to drink with Tomphot anytime. Too bad I went for two x 25,000 miles + GUC's as my Choice Benefits selection.
(That was a rational decision considering the SAN Skyclub takes away all the food over an hour before the last red-eye. That little jewel of a lounge isn't so nice anymore)

TBH.. I use the blingy DM tags on my bag in hopes that SP's who are crowding the gate will yield to my boarding priority. Plastic tags aren't quite the same effect.

But, DL management is going to solve that problem in January 2019.
Yep, it was like this at CPT

Yeah I'm sure the guys in the ATL secret underground devaulation labs are rubbing their hands together, saying "NOW we've got em, we used the 12 point font instead of the 18 point font, CHESSMATE MMs!"

How can MM be devalued if it is worth nothing other than a bump to Silver if you otherwise don't qualify for Silver?

I’ve seen more MM recognition in the past two years than ever before and it’s been nice.

You have to hold it up to a light? Delta has just gone too far this time!

Stopped putting tags on my bag a long time ago.

The Earth is still spinning and the world hasn't come to an end...

TSA has yet to notice that I've sharpened my DM tags to a razor blade finish on all the edges... I am like Ninja! Prepared at moment's notice to slice through bad policies and unwitting Kettles.

I am astounded that this thread remains unlocked, so IBTL.

I'm still wondering what a Million Miller is.

You can't see the MM or ST Elite on the tag or card......

I fly J international so my BP gets me into lounge but I have wondered what would happen if I had to show the card to get in.

This was not an assault on MM's, but all DM's......cheapie tags....I need the metal ones to warn the lowly GM/PM/FO to part the boarding lane for my arrival

Well, I bet they spent many thousands of dollars debating and mocking up and having meetings about what font size to use.
