Slightly OT: A3 not sending out the new cards quickly did cause me a little bit of hassle in VIE in December. OS insisted on seeing my *G card at check-in despite it being in the booking and me flying business class, therefore making it unnecessary. I temporarily forgot that my old card had expired and the check-in agent confiscated it! I tried asking nicely for it back for my collection but was told "No, it's property of Star Alliance. We have to cut it up and send it back to A3". Never experienced anything like that before! They were highly sceptical of the digital card on my phone too. No idea what was going on there.
