Can you provide Link - I looked and did not see one.

I think the gift of a United Logo handle wrap is different than the gate tag. If you want people to search then the title needs to be specific. No mention in that link title of key words - like handle, wrap, token, bag, gift, etc. This item is not a gate tag - it is a fancy United Logo velcro gold colored handle wrap. |
Any photos of this for us to see?

This implies a different colored gate tag - instead of green ones. Maybe they will do that as well.

Ms. Trash and I got ours today in Houston. Got the duct tape out to wrap them securely to their respective handles.

Yes I know, did you read the entire thread? It is referring to the gold colored wrap and it being used like the green tags for 1K and GS.
Then about 6 days later someone posted to the same thread with a new subject - handle wrap gift for 1K/Plat which is a different item. Even with the wrap you still need a gate check tag with serial number. To change the subject in a thread after a number of days when the thread had died out makes it very difficult to search titles. I suggest the posts after the gap be moved to this thread, which is of interest to 1K/Plat with the other thread covering a different subject of interest to all Elites. |

Yes I read it. But that thread subject was on different Elite baggage tags for gate checks which would apply to all Elites.

You mean I no longer have to tip the guy loading the bags a few bucks to put mine on last? :-:

This is for RJs. If a GS/1K your bag will receive a yellow handle to go over the handle on the bag. Ramp agents will load these last and take these off first. They will be the first bags on the jetway. To clear the confusion - this is happening. Suppose to start 7/1 but I haven't heard anything since they initially sent out a memo. |
Just an update for you guys - Have seen these start to pop up in the airport and from what I've witnessed, they are indeed first on the jetway after the flight.

Possible new gate check 1k/GS tags
For a program that allegedly starts today, it doesn't sound as if too many people (GS/1K) have received them.
|
I received mine in Arlington (22202) on Saturday. Understandably, my wife - a Gold didn't get one.
That said, it's a maybe US$0.05 piece of nylon, made in China that looks as cheap as it was to make. We'll see if it actually gets bags delivered quicker from RJs - but naturally it should be UAs goal to get mainline aircraft on the routes that 1Ks/GSes fly most often...but I digress. -jeremy |
Still have not received mine....and I still don't see any type of official announcement that this has anything to do with priority handling for gate checked bags.
