Cool Privilege Membership card

Became privilege GOLD since October 27th and 3 weeks ago received this email:

Dear Mr Van De Maele,
We are contacting you with regards to the delivery of your Privilege Club membership card.
We regret to inform you that we are currently experiencing delays in the delivery of your membership pack. Please be assured we are relentless in our efforts to ensure you receive your card at the earliest opportunity.
In the meantime, you can still access your digital membership card by logging in..... etc...etc...


At present date still no new membership card.
No plastic anymore in Doha, due to the blockade perhaps ?

Anyone else received this email ?

Yes,I received the same message about a month ago. Still, no card.

Doubt it has anything to do with the blockade.

Had the same problem right back after the embargo started. Then again, these cards have been nothing but useless so far, so who cares...

Card arrived today. With a French postage stamp.

Maybe that explains all the delays ��

Became PR-Gold late-November, still awaiting the actual card/pack several weeks later, so QRPC haven't yet solved this problem, one year onwards.

Do you need the physical card? The FF status appears on the BP, so you should be able to use that everywhere you need to show it.

I renewed my Platinum status in May '18 and to date I haven't received the new membership card and baggage tags! I doubt I will at all. haha

I don't need the card, but a couple more bag tags would be nice.

Renewed Platinum in June 2018. I had to escalate the situation in previous years. One year after multiple messages and back and forths with QR, received the card and tags with a personal apology and a gift from the country manager where I live. But in subsequent years realized that its just a hassle and time consuming to the max (not to mention aggravating). So I haven't even bothered to ask this time around.

I agree that it's more for reassurance, for example when I approach the Business-Class check-in desk on another OneWorld airline, with my extra-luggage for an Economy-ticket.

And the baggage-tags & information-pack, so there's an element of DYKWIA to it, but I did nevertheless earn this status the hard way !

Lastly because of what it says, that a process which ought to be seamless & efficient, is still the opposite after so long. QR, great in-the-air, but not on-the-ground ! So why don't they fix the problem ?

And wouldn't it be nice if the new-found status lasted for more-than a mere twelve-months, that's off-topic but nevertheless something heart-felt, for the new official QRPC-lurker to pick-up and run with !
