Yeah I got one for P+ and LTG within a few weeks of each other toward the end of 2025. Interesting that it is “multi-year” Platinums only.
 
Received e mail from VA saying they will be sending out new look Platinum baggage tags soon. Multi year members only first. How exciting ...😁

So I just got these after reaching Platinum recently (had to do the order new tags thing)….

And they seem pretty cough? Like it’s big and chunky and stuff but -

It’s not personalised. Which was what I found useful about previous tags

It’s held on by a nubbin pressed through a fabric hole. I cannot see this staying on my luggage long - did I mention it’s big and chunky? The little screw ends on the old tags felt very secure.

Those little screw ends break eventually. I’ve had to repurpose other attachments for my current WP tags. A new set of tags is welcome.

Well, if you get one of these chunky things there’s no real way to fix it if the attachment point fails 🤷‍♂️

I get the little screw things can probably break, but if they do there are other ways to attach the tag through the eyelet.

The biggest thing missing though is the lack of personalisation.
