I wouldn't say that it is inherently bad to try to use your acceptances to leverage a response.
 
For example, one of the schools I applied to is about a month behind most of the other major schools in this field in terms of its admissions calendar (i.e. they might release decisions in late March/April when most of the other schools do in late Feb/March), so they sent out an e-mail last week saying that they are currently reviewing apps and to please "inform them of any admissions offers". Clearly, they don't want students to go ahead and commit to other schools whether due to impatience or simply thinking that they would probably get rejected because it was taking so long, so they are willing to expedite the process by request.
