CCR Card Renewed Before Year End
I was rather surprised to get a renewed CCR card to May 2019 this week. I have done a stupid amount of travel and passed 5k earlier this month but assumed I would get the replacement CCR and GGL cards when my year ends in April. If the CCR is sent out early why not other cards too?

Yes because it's not a status card, contrary to the impression sometimes apparent around here. You get another one at 10k and 15k unless you are within a month if your membership year (which triggers the renewal process). Think of it from the perspective of someone qualifying for the first time.

HMmm...some inconsistencies here: I have never received a new CCR card at time of requalification and that has always happened months (often 6-10 months) before end of my tp year.

I'm in the latter group no matter when I have re-qualified, but there seem to be quite a few people in the former group as well.
Not all extensive travel is due to business purposes or MRs. There are some of us who travel extensively for reasons other than those two (and some that cannot even be legitimately classified as leisure, such as commuting between multiple homes)

There seems to be inconsistencies as you say. Some people seem to not received them early (or even having to chase them up), yet some seem to receive them as soon as they have re-earned it.

Meanwhile, I can't wait for separate CCR cards to be abolished and the information to become available on the GGL card in both physical and electronic versions.

My CCR card normally arrives some two weeks after qualifying for another year.
Passing 5K on Aug 25, the new card valid through end of May 2019 arrived September 8
