PLAT tags for '20, no 1M

Hi All, Got my '20 Platinum tags today. They used to always have my 1M status. This year not. Error? Anyone else?

They send out a separate MM red tag now. I believe they were sent out at the beginning of last year.

Yep, the change occurred last year. They went back to the metal DM tags, but they didn't have the MM status on them anymore as they were on separate red tags.

I’m still using my black PM MM tags from a couple years ago ... the new red MM tags just look cheap

It's not just a look....they ARE cheap. Both of mine are separating...the red film from the plastic core. This, after about 6 months of flying.

Just wondering what the purpose of using the tags would be for never seen a reason am I missing something? I'm a DL DIA and a 1mm.

I didn't receive MM tags when the change occurred last year. From the sound of it, I didn't miss much?

Didn't receive my 1MM tags either from last year. Agree, not missing much it looks like...

I'll raise you: My DM tags don't say 2MM.

I have been going 8 rounds with DL on trying to get my 3MM tags and they used every possible excuse under the sun why I never received them in the first place. Of course they were not able to send them out after the initial batch had been mailed. Now I don't feel bad anymore since I wasn't the only one that they "missed"....

I reached PM through a status match challenge in early September. Any idea if I should still be receiving tags or if I need to reach status organically to receive the benefit?

And they "crack" at the edges....are they going to send a new batch every year or is it one (or zero as indicated by some) and done?

Surely a MM tag should be forever, so why didn't DL make them from metal like the DM tags? That would give a very nice loud metallic clank and might convince me to use those tacky red things.

I'm in the same boat, no tags here either (yet)

I'm going to reach out on Twitter and will report back. I'm well aware of the "brag tag" thread on here...haven't seen any answers there either. Mainly use the tags for carry-on luggage in an effort to keep it from getting checked on full flights as 95% of my business is travel.
