Well... Scoop v1 said they were listening... that some people travel on RJ's ALOT and didn't get the complimentary upgrades that pax who fly mainline did... therefore NW still wanted to reward and retain those flyers... and no there wasn't any talk of black helicopters and reduced upgrades

If you're lifetime, yes ... me, I'm just relying on ST E+ for club access, and for that they tend to want the card in addition to the BP.

As opposed to starting a thread just for this question, this seems to be a decent place to ask something I have always wondered...
If you are elite and getting bag tags, do you actually use them? Why? Why not?
Personally, I don't attach mine. I don't really want random strangers knowing my name or elite status. But I see tons of people that do use the tags.

Got my PE packet today (Iowa)
Also had 4 in-flight drink/food coupons. I don't recall seeing that mentioned in this thread before.
Now if I can just figure out how to use the fancy leather straps!

Well, I take my comment above back. The drink/snack coupons were mentioned. But I thought it was in the same category as the carrier pigeon (and mine was not delivered by pigeon!)

No SE cards for me and I really need it for my trip to WAW. Because on the way back in AMS to use the Elite line they want to see my card or see it on the boarding pass and Lot Ground Services in WAW didn't print my elite status on my boarding pass. It was a KLM agent just a Lot Ground Services boarding pass.

Pics of the Platinum Elite Packet and enclosed goodies are up....
I'll let you all figure out how to put the luggage tags on... if you have any problems ask a CO Elite, they had something like that a few years back
