Speaking of brag tags, my 2020 DM tags were waiting for me when I returned from a biz trip. Holy crap, these things are really really thick. I think DL heard our complaints about plastic DM tag and now is going the other way. These are the thickest metal tags they have ever issued. Strangely, I didn't get any DM membership cards.

The thick metal ones (I somehow got a set in the mail in early 2019) seem like they'd be good to shove under that one wobbly chair I have.

I hang the plastic one on my bag - just because they are lighter. I carry too much necessary crap on my backpack, every bit of weight I can shave off, every bit better. But these metals ones are nice! Paint and clear coat on them looks high quality, not like last year's.

I did not make PM until Dec 31, as such, I received GM tags in the mail in the fall. Do they only send one set per medallion year, or can I expect to receive PM tags wiithin the next few months?

Ok so my GM tags came today.... and all I can say is they could have spent less on the fancy envelope and insert (card carrier with the glue) and spent that money to personalize the card so I might have a reason to risk the ridicule from PM and DM and actually use them.
I mean seriously that gold ink ain't cheap.

I got my Gold Medallion tags in probably August or September of last year. However, I subsequently made PM for 2020 near the end of 2019 and was curious if I'll get new tags? Is there a way to request them?

They probably just delayed and will send out with the batch for re-qualifying PM's. I'd wait a few more weeks. They usually don't send out the packets until late January/early February. I haven't received my re-qualifying packets yet.
