Apparently none of commented need to submit 'original' BPs for the expense reports. For my travel policy this is a requirement, however I do check in electronically and keep PDF versions. 'Original' paper versions are printed at the airport.

Nope, and that's over multiple airlines in multiple countries. In general, I think airlines are doing well at catching up on technology.

). Have gotten AA ticket jackets that aren't particularly fancy fairly frequently over the past year.

I keep all sorts of crap - including boarding passes - from my travels as souvenirs but.....ummmmm...what kind of fancy boarding passes are you all talking about?
A heck of alot of the boarding passes that I do/did not print at home fade very badly over the years.

I keep all of mine, I have several binders and I staple them to pages, whole punch them, then put them in. When I get worried they'll tear the BP, I'll go to a gate agent and say something like "I think I left my BP at the security checkpoint, could you reprint it for me?". They always do.
