They must have heard you! My tags showed up via snail mail. So did my friends. Looks like they made a change.

I was just in a mood that made me cringe at the wastefulness of the package that arrived. Some days things hit me so clearly, I can’t ignore them. Thus the rant.

It’s not that the luggage tag “didn’t seem like much.” It’s that it seemed like a waste. Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts with all of us.

Sounds like you can appreciate my rant. Sometimes these things just hit me and I can’t help myself. I’m chuckling about your Fedex stock!

How could I miss this post of yours Becky. A really funny and interesting one. Even I will say that, you pass on a really nice & important message to some of the organizations who work the same way as you have mentioned. May be they do not care about anything other than profits. Really Nice post.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what my upcoming luggage tags will look like.

While this luggage tag does not seem much, please realize what comes along with it. He now has lifetime status on United not matter how much he flies from now on. If he hits 2 and 3 million those lifetime perks get even better.

No one is saying that its a joy to fly all the time in general, but, I really appreciate the United loyalty program. It is not one iota near perfect (especially right now with the merger) but, I get upgraded more than not and that makes a world of difference.

You might not be seeing the perks of making a million miles in the packaging, but, Jeffrey will be seeing it when he travels.

Please tell Jeffrey that if he’s really going to thank the good folks at United, to use snail mail.

But seriously, considering I’m a Six Thousander, who travels to the east coast once a year, I never knew they gave away just valuable tchotchkies. I’ll see if I can pick up the slack.

Yes I too think it’s funny what they spend money on. It’s really boggles the mind when you start looking at the figures and actual waste that I’m sure all corporations have. What’s even funnier is who really wants a luggage tag sent to them? If they want their premium flyers to have them they should just have them available in the red carpet clubs or something. I mean really would you really look at someone else’s luggage tag and say to yourself I must fly United so that I too can have a gold plastic luggage tag? Marketing genius!
