Last trip notice that my baggage tags had VIP on them from check in - or does this mean something else ? Lowly 1MM so guess bar set very low if this is the case ....

VIP prints on the baggage tag so the check in agent knows to tag it with a priority tag.

1MM isn't that LOW of a bar. That's a lot of flying.

Yes, but we're now what, a nearly-worthless #4 in the pecking order?

This always printed on PMCO bag tags if you were elite. Taking a wild guess that PMUA didn't do this?

Didn't need to. Agents could look down at their screen, see that they were working a [FC], [GS], [Premier Exec], or whatever line and KNOW they needed to put an orange tag on our luggage. PMCO obviously had issues with this.
