Maybe I should start a new thread (???) but I just got ANOTHER call from UA rep. Now she says that the updated cards will arrive 'early in the second quarter' (April) and not sometime after March 9th.
I asked about the card my husband would be getting, and she says that it will be a star gold card, not a 1K card. My husband is matched to my lifetime status (star gold, MM) and NOT to my ANNUAL status (1K). I looked on the UA site, and yes, it does specifically say "matched lifetime status"...
