I finally caught up with my mail and received the new card and Prada bracelet. My card looks fine. No streaks. The numbers are easy to read. I can see that they are a bit blurry, but still easy to read.
I strapped on the bracelet and walked over to the drug store to buy something. The bracelet worked just how you would expect it to. In fact it seems to read faster than the Centurion card. And about the same as a Mastercard I have. Then I Ubered over to the airport and hopped on a flight to Paris. Later at a truck stop on the autoroute I bought snacks and voila, the bracelet worked perfectly on the French card reader. I'm a happy camper.
