WRONG.
Only after he registered the temp card, he would then get a permanent card by mail.
When OP registered his store-bought card on MyVanilla website, he has to set up a PIN himself in the registering process. Therefore no PIN would come or to set with the permanent card which by the way, does not have the same number as the temp card.
Meanwhile, he could just use his temp card like any other debit card to pay for things purchased.
