2023 Medallion Status Bag Tags
I earned Diamond status for the first time this September. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get new bag tags? I've been Platinum for a couple of years so I haven't cared much when new Platinum tags arrive, but I am definitely excited about getting Diamond tags!

Takes a few months for the new tags. For those that don't care to walk around with brag tags, they fetch a decent sum on eBay. I always sell mine and take my daughter out to a nice lunch with that $50-60.

It boggles my mind that people pay for these tags - for all practical purposes, they're useless - except the SS cable, which I use on my "real" luggage tags.

I have found that I need to use Loctite to prevent the SS cable connector from unscrewing. I lost several cables and tags before I learned my lesson.

Can I sell my 1MM plexiglass brick for anything?

I'm thankful for fake people and their egos. I'd guess this is why there's such a huge market for counterfeit designer handbags, watches, etc.

Whoa! Wait a minute....SS cables? Received my Diamond tags for the last 2 years both with cheap clear plastic loops for attaching!

I never got the silver tags. My Gold tags were supposed to come in the mail, but they either got lost or stolen (I have USPS Informed Delivery and clearly saw the envelopt in the email, but it never made it to me). Hopefully the Platinum tags make it!
