You are talking about your elite status card and yes that has not been provided since 2019 (for GS). It is a different card from UC member.
This talk about status is not relevant to the original query
If you are *G and travelling international, you don't need a UC membership, you are better off as *G (and virtual cards work).
If you are travelling domestic and have a UC membership, you don't need a UC card as it is coded in your BP
The only time you need a physical UC card is an individual without status or *S travelling internationally (believe this is the case for the OP). In the past *A lounges don't have access to UC member database, don't know if that has changed
Otherwise, you don't need the physical UC card
The fact that no one has UA elite physical card is a non sequitur to this discussion.

Assuming you are talking about a UC membership card, the subject of this thread, as a UA *G why do you need a physical UC card?
To get back to the OP, has anyone who is an UC member received a new physical UC member card this year?
