Like many other Marriott Bonvoy lifetime elite members, I just received some luggage tags in the mail. I figured I’d take a look at them in this post, since the whole packaging and presentation is a bit nicer than I was expecting.

Mine arrived last week and I put them on my bags, one next to my TWA Royal Ambassador tag!!!
I’m not sure that actually advertising that you’ve been Bonvoyed for a decade is the best plan of action. Otherwise you could rename these the “Glutton For Punishment” tags.
Perhaps the tags arrived last week. I do not know as I am traveling and staying mostly in Hyatt during last two weeks.
@Ben - I thought you were a Lifetime Titanium elite. Your tags indicate otherwise - have you been Bonvoyed?
I'm still waiting for my Starwood platinum card that was supposed to be sent in 2018.
These luggage tags cost money to produce and ship. But that cost is still far cheaper than Marriott fixing the breakfast benefit.
Can't get a 4:00 checkout or an upgrade but we can give you useless baggage tags.
Thanks Marriot
My Hilton Honors Lifetime Diamond welcome kit contained:
- One all-black Luggage Tag
- One set of Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones
- One black metallic Lifetime Diamond membership card
The Bose wireless headphones are, of course, nice because it's top of the line quality and practical...
Lifetime members: “Please can we have our status consistently recognised and rewarded when we stay at Bonvoy hotels?”
Marriott: “Erm… how about some luggage tags?”
Frankly, I was just surprised to hear it didn't contain a 3D print of a hand giving him the finger.
The packaging appears to have cost more than the actual luggage tags. I didn't find it a very useful gift. Maybe a phone charger or something more useful would have been better.
I think they are great and they are appreciated. Ben you could have thrown them away and it would have prevented you for wasting your time on a write-up.
The thought behind the recognition is appreciated, but in an environment where reducing “waste” is the focus, I was taken aback by the excessive packaging.
Inconsistency of benefits is my biggest challenge every time I check into a Marriott property. While I understand individual brands may have different policies, I don’t know within the same brand why I get different benefits.
That said, I am glad to have status.
I will probably add the colorful one. I put colorful tags to reduce the honest mistakes when people grab the wrong bag.
The best one I have is a red stop sign that says "This isn't your bag".
I am a lifetime silver elite, earned on my own. I am still looking for that travel job. I didn't see where I can request tags, might not be for all lifetime elites.
@ LifeIsShort -- Unfortunately it's just for lifetime Platinum and Titanium members, sorry!
@ Cbchicago -- I don't view the write-up as wasted time? It's a nice gesture by the company and something that many will appreciate and enjoy.
@ Art_Czar -- Hah, nope, sadly am "just" lifetime Platinum. I was just short of the requirement for lifetime Titanium, sadly.
Eh, too quick to judge, right? Some people acquired their Marriott LT from Starwood stays.
As for the tags, I do not buy this as Marriott's sign of appreciation. If you want to show you appreciate me as a customer, send me something useful. This is just free advertising for Marriott as I believe most LT members show "wealthy" appearance. I'm not going to advertise Marriott, nor put useless stuff on my carry-on that can get stuck somewhere.
The comments I’ve read are very interesting. The sense of entitlement is very alarming. The the attempt at showing appreciation is met with disdain, complaints and harsh evaluation. We’ve all worked to achieve an Elite Status which in and of itself is a great accomplishment. The world has become unbalanced. Emotional Intelligence is just a” corporate catch-phrase”. We should all ponder the value of appreciation when it’s our turn to do so. Ask ourselves are our intentions genuine and authentic? Marriott didn’t have to do this, someone in the corporation thought enough of us to do so.
Being Lifetime Platinum Elite I am quite surprised my email invitation has not appeared in my inbox. I tried following the link to the page you provided above but only receive a Page Not Found dead end?!
Ben I AM lifetime Platinum Elite but did not receive the email… what now? I AM all about free bling - I earned it…! 😉
I was impressed with the fancy box, but the luggage tags themselves are nothing special. I was expecting to see my name imprinted on the tags themselves, but they are blank. The tags look like something available at TJ Maxx. I really don't see the point of this campaign.
Not impressed. Don't use mine. Not sure why I even responded to the email honestly. Hoping for personalization I suppose
Too bad so many only complain.
I got my Titainium lifetime tags.
Thought they were very nice. If you don't like them don't use them but no need to complain.
I will have it on my carry on along with six years of American Airlines EP tags.
I appreciate Marriott did this.
I am especially proud of my Lifetime Elite status is that it came with a letter from Bill Marriott Jr. Many years ago. I only wished I saved the letter.
I received mine this week and yes, it was a great presentation. It’s funny, I’ve had lifetime status for years and only now are they doing this as I think they must’ve hired somebody from Hilton because this is exactly what I received automatically when I reached lifetime diamond with Hilton so it’s almost like they’re just keeping up with the Hilton program.
I replied to the questionnaire on the qr code that I would gladly trade my Lifetime Titanium tags for some consistency, honoring elite guarantees, and other benefits that they have promised and properties won't deliver.
they haven't responded.
Can't wait to see them, I've been Lifetime Titanium twice over for 10 years now
I also got these tags! I agree, the preso, packaging and quality are way better than anticipated!
I, however, will use mine as they are simply gorgeous!
I appreciate the effort (also got the black metal membership card), the recognition and the appreciation.
Just sent in for mine. I didn’t even know they existed until I stumbled across this article.
I was Bonvoyed, maybe. I’m Lifetime Titanium Elite. Got this gift package and it’s all “Lifetime Platinum” in that unfolding box. ♀️
Or maybe I’m just always Titanium Elite now but am Lifetime Platinum. I can’t tell.
They discontinued Lifetime Titanium a few years back -- now it's Lifetime Platinum. The only remaining way to earn Lifetime Titanium is to become a Presidential Level owner at Marriott Vacation Club.
We think the tags are really nice, with their rich leather color and novel design. They are a bit challenging to get onto a bag with a solid handle (on wheeled luggage), but we were up to the challenge! We’d like to get another set and wonder if that’s an option.
Thanks very much, Marriott!
I've been Bonvoy member for 27 years and lifetime titanium for 8+ years. How can I obtain the luggage tags?
