I have some silk pJs Packed along with a highly desired "My pillow" for Delta long hauls.

Maybe a homemade Delta Medallion hat.

Yes, my husband and I got ours within a month of qualifying

As for bragging, I wonder how many of those that call them brag tags have a nice car like a Porsche or Cadillac? Is that bragging? No it isn't.
IMO, it’s only bragging when you’re gate lice with a Silver Medallion tag and tell the people in line with you how you “fly a lot”

Did you ever notice that the gate lice are the ones not flying premium but have the biggest bags to fit in the overheads?
Not wanting to divert away from the main point about bag tags, but does Southwest have gate lice? You may be onto something there... No free checked bags means overstuffed carry-ons means masses of the unwashed-without-status milling about near the cordoned off stanchions in order to board as early as possible with their carry-ons. (Or I may have read that this is the case as a result of expensive checked bag fees at the non-Southwest airlines.)
And FTR/return to regularly scheduled bag tag programming, I haven't received my bag tags, but I only achieved Platinum in December.

I've been Silver Medallion 2 years, Gold 1 year and this is my first year being Platinum and I am yet to receive a single bag tag. Am I doing something wrong, do you have to formally request them somewhere?

same for myself. Turns out they had my address wrong

don't expect a replacement unless it's do-it-yourself.

Your best bet is to update your address so that when you make Diamond, you have another chance

I made PM last year after a few years being stuck at Silver due to lack of travel and didn't receive tags.

Did DL stop printing million miler status on the bag tags? I’m 2MM, but my metal tags just show as plain without anything else. I see other people with tags showing 1M or 2M etc. did they send me the wrong ones?

I have separate tags for each: one for Diamond with no MM info. I also got a red 1MM tag as well. They used to be combined but not anymore. I will hit 2MM by the end of 2022 so we shall see what they send.

Slightly off topic: i think many, if not all of the issues or concerns with the tags would be solved if Delta would simply put the year on each tag. That way they could be used to show current status and actually have some utility. A simple "Diamond 2022" would be easy to print. I have always wondered why they don't do that. Yes, the individual sky miles number would be nice as well, but that requires unique runs/productions. The year, however, would be pretty easy.

Stepping off of soap box gently

Never received any DL bag tags

Ok, so I looked for this thread and it wasn't easy.

I was GM on DL 4 years ago and PL the last 3 years and have yet to receive any bag tags, even though the Delta Medallion web page still mentions them ad a "benefit." Has anyone had success getting Delta to mail them out or is it next to impossible?? What's the best way to contact them for this issue?Does Delta even monitor this thread?
thanks!!
