I just checked my wallet. It appears PMs get four too. I have three that expire Jan 2019 (I've used one, I guess) and four that expire Jan 2020.

I got four at the start of the year as a GM and four more when I hit PM. Still have 7 remaining. I too would appreciate being able to use them on food as well. I don't always want a drink, especially on a 7 am flight.

You get 4 of them as you hit each status level above your current. You also get four at the start of the year if you have status. Sadly this means DM get shorted and only get the 4 at start of year.

I've found that when I print them and hand them to the FA's, they only actually get scanned about half the time.

Join me in writing to DL to ask for this. If enough people request it, maybe they'll at least look into it.
