Received ours today...on snowy LI, NY
Received ours yesterday also, both DH and mine. Surprised that there is a 2021 expiration on it? So maybe I am missing something here, but wasn't the purpose of the new cards to prevent members who have sold their interests from being recognized as a current member? What then are the "checks and balances" of a card that expires in 5 years from now? The only thing I can think of is that when a member goes to use it as a discount or say for example to use at the Member Lounge at Epcot, that a computerized list will show if the member is a current member along with your photo ID of course? Really not getting the purpose of the issuance of the new cards other than it falling under the commemoration of 25th Anniversary?
To verify the membership is still active. I'm sure there are people who have sold their membership still using the card for discounts. They do key in the member # for ticket discounts to verify.
