Checked bags (rare): elite card; probably easier to come back to me if the airline looses it.
Carry-on (backpack usually): FT tag/elite card; check-in people in crowded airports spot the elite card on the backpack.
Key Chain: elite cards; quicker than fumbling in my wallet when needed.

What Elite Tag? I Fly CO...where apparently meals at mealtimes, pillows and magazines aren't extravagant...but giving anything other than a cheap sticker that goes inside a bag for identification would make that pizza just a little too tasty.

I ordered a bunch of FT tags and I hope they will arrive soon.
They will be applied to all my bags and carryons I travel with. Along with that, I usually have those little military metal tags they wear for id purposes attached to my bags since I could get some personalized. One was stolen so far
And normally I have some LH tags on my bags as well - makes them easier to spot.

I have my elite cards on my laptop bag.
I've noticed once that they've been noticed (in 20 flights). On reaching a huge melee at the 744 boarding gate, an usher said: "oh, you have cards - come to this line" and I went through a separate security / boarding card check reserved for elite passengers.
I don't have an FT card, but I often wonder how many FT'ers there are around, in the lounge, at the gate, etc.

Same here...no one has noticed my FT tag. Maybe one day. I look for them when I travel.

It's a requirement to have your hand luggage externally identified (in the UK anyway). So we could make some sort of hand written crappy thing out of old bits of cardboard or something, or simply attach the label the programme sends us - nothing to do with snobbery, just saving time and effort!
