Received my Gold cards (in LA) a couple of weeks ago. They're about as impressive as a Club Europe seat, but at least I'll have a keepsake from the new BAC because this will be my last (meaningful) status card with BA.

You fly enough for crew to recognise you and dont need to see your luggage tag as you board. 😊.

Plus they will make sure your preferred meal is served to you first.

Just got back from a couple of weeks traveling and still no card/tags for me - London based GGL.

I received my GGL tags on Friday.

I have to say they are a bit cheap and cheerful. It looks like I've left the white pricing tag on my hand luggage. For GBP 40k (plus taxes) a year, I want a butler with a cane sweeping passengers out of my way at T5.

It is indeed comical. I did receive my GGL package, however it did require a few calls to GGL. These will be a momento as I will not renew GGL after 15 years of GGL under the new BAC nTp scheme. Thankfully I reached GfL before the new scheme came into play.

I've called GGL team, they raised a ticket for me, which was closed. I emailed the Premium Team, they emailed back with an apology (twice). Still nothing...

Physical (as opposed to on phone) Gold Card

Is it at all possible to get an actual new Gold Card and bag tags? And if so, how please.

If Ive spent 20k of my own money flying BA since April, Id really quite like them, not just something to download to my iPhone wallet.

(Well I can do without the card but would like the tags - and yes if Im being honest it is for all the vain eye-rolls reasons youre thinking.)

The problem is when you want to use it to enter a Lounge and your BP has not got the right status on it. So apart from (maybe) helping you to get into a BA Lounge, they are as useful as a chocolate teapot anywhere else. Another BA fail.
