How long for Senator tags

My mom received her Senator CC about 3 weeks
ago, but no luggage tags so far, how long does that take ?

It all arrives in the same package.

(1) SEN Card
(2) Luggage tags consisting of leather tag and SEN ID card
Brochure that tells you very little about the program.
Welcome letter

Not here, my mom just got the SEN card, but no luggage tags (she got the SEN CC).

The Credit Card is issued by HypoVereinsbank. This is why the CC my be faster than the tags. The tags are then once again accompanied by another SEN card w/o credit function.

Funny thing: Just because you have changed your address at LH don't believe it is changed at HypoVereinsbank, too.

But I consider this more a feature rather than a bug since you need to be a German resident to get the CC and you need not to be a German resident to get SEN for 100k =

= LH CREDIT CARD =

The LH credit card is issued by: Bayerische Landesbank.
You need only to have a bank account in a german bank (not to be a german resident).
----

= THE TAGS =

Usually, you get the normal SEN card *with* the tags.
A few (!?) days later, you get the guide, along with an application form for the LH credit card.
If you specify your SEN card number on the application form, you get (3 weeks later at least...) the LH Visa card with SEN status.
---

If you did send a LH Visa application using your former FTL number *before* receiving your standard SEN card, LH knows that you are already SEN and issues the correct card Gold Visa with SEN).
If you did have a LH silver Visa with FTL, you get automatically the LH gold Visa with SEN when you qualify.

In this case, LH may also cancel the request to issue the standard card + tags (because you don't need this card ), so you will probably never get the tags !

That is what I feared. I never understood why one don't get the normal card in addition to the credit card.

Because LH promotes it as a "Miles&More Card with credfit card functionality". They do it because of the ancient german laws.

There was actually a court decision, making the miles illegal, but as LH appealed it, there is no final decision yet.
P.S.: Schröder goverment tries to ban the
old Zugabeverordnung and Rabattgesetz !
Another great move from them.

Peter, right, but the Einzelhandelslobby is strictly against it and there is still the GWB...

Gisela and I (without having a LH Credit Card) got the Senator cards and luggage tags in the same package, about 2 weeks after having reached Senator status.

I had a FTL CC and recieved a SEN CC _and_ a SEN card _and_ the tags. SEN CC was sent to my German address, SEN card and tags ended up in London a couple of days later.

btw. Yes it is Bayerische Landesbank and not HypoVereinsbank as I wrote above.

btw. Is anybody really using the tags? I think they are somewhat too flashy and too big ... I personaly prefer the Qualifier tags ... small and decent layout ... and may be history soon
