Card arrived in the US today, clearly a historic day, lol...I was very surprised, it is the first card I ever received out of several requests. The envelope was beat up, like it came from middle earth or something, lol. Posted from Paris. The card is very fancy, it even has a signature strip on the back...

I see nothing but a shambles nine months from now ...

MrsNWI and my second cards both arrived today, although I have no idea if this was as a result of me getting fed up waiting and requesting a new card of just general disorganisation from A3.

Hi everyone, M&B newbie here - I received my very first (blue) card yesterday, posted from the Netherlands. I'm really impressed by the lovely design of this non-elite card as well!
Interestingly, my name is printed in reverse order, i.e. "Smith John" (no comma) as opposed to "John Smith". Is this a special perk for blue members, perhaps?

Found my new card in my mailbox yesterday, I have been traveling for the last 3 weeks, so uncertain when it arrived. No postmarks on the envelope, but a note stating to return it to an address in Hungary in case undeliverable. Was surprised to find a luggage tag along with the card.

) syntax of your name (there are certainly many more places where the order is reversed). So, consider yourselves special!

Got a Gold card last month good for 24/11/2016. Today I got another envelop of M+B that I've never requested and the card is already expired 24/01/2016 posted from Netherlands.
This thing is out of hand some people got two three card, some don't even get it A3 should really really I mean reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally figure out how to send out a card !!! and reach the destination on time otherwise whats the use of it, might as well promote the first in *A carrier not to use the plastic card with their frequent flyer and GO GREEN!!!!!

We has ours in the mailbox when we were back home in Switzerland two weeks ago. Not sure when they were exactly sent as we had been traveling for about 2 months. My wife actually got two identical cards, that - by judging their order in the stack of mail - must have arrived on or nearly on the same day as well. I had only one.
I am wondering about this new expiry date policy - I think I have been asked only once during the last year or so to actually produce my card upon entering the lounge (that was in the new Swiss lounge in Zürich E Terminal), but wonder if in such case a simple print of the card would work? After all, it is already on your boarding pass and in their system anyway.
