Hard to say really. Every late November going into March we go into non-fulfillment mode as far as membership cards go. The reason is we usually use up the current stock and are getting prepared to send out new cards after February 28th anyway. It could be that your card replacement request came in during the moratorium and we fulfilled it with the old stock after the New Year once we found out we still had some left over, but that is highly unusual.
