Occasionally, you might need one to get in to a partner lounge where there's been some IT stuff-up that means that your status doesn't show properly. Or you might be using the BA status for a benefit when the booking you're flying on has got a different FF number on. I have used my card during the last decade for the latter reason, but I think I can count the occasions on the fingers of one hand.

My Silver uplift has been saying Fulfilled for nearly a month now. Some Bronze luggage tags I ordered were also Fulfilled the same day, and arrived a couple of weeks after that date. No Silver pack though 
!
Does Fulfilled mean it should have made it into the post?

My account says "Upgrade to Executive Silver" fulfilled on 16 Oct but I've never received a silver card or bag tags. My year renewed on 8 Nov. so I'll wait for at least another week or so, figuring it takes longer to send to California.

Heh. I was told when I renewed as Silver 9 months ago that because I was Silver the year before I would not be receiving a new card. I've managed without all year assuming that it was another Cruzification of service.
Good to hear that's wrong - Back up to Gold in 2 weeks though, so I better get my hands on the Gold welcome pack.

Wife new silver car sill not dispatched?
My wife made silver a few weeks ago and it looks like her card still isn't dispatched?
As you can see, her bronze was all processed in just a day (card arrived within a week), was this just lucky?

AA lounges do now readily accept the e-membership card on the App, though not that many years ago some of the smaller stations seemed to find this a bit dodgy. However there are a few lounges - which normally use invite cards - where if you turn up via an HBO booking and therefore didn't check-in, they like to take a photocopy of your card. Now funnily enough the app e-card does actually photocopy quite well (leaving aside the technical stupidity of it all), the number is very clear, but just once in a while you'll find somewhere where they really want the card itself. GYE comes to mind.

I have just started carrying my card after about 10 years of never bothering. Although various outstations do indeed ask to see it, I have never had an issue when I explained I didn't have it on me and cited the number, or showed it on my BP.
Why have I started now? For BoB. It seems the easiest way of paying with Avios.

To add a data point me and the Mrs. just received our GGL/CCR packs today which were "Fulfilled" on Nov 5 so it took almost a month for the cards to reach us.
They have not been "Dispatched" on either of our accounts so it seems fulfilled and dispatched is pretty much the same thing.
