I used the old card, old number, and it says I’m activated; good until 2025.
But if they are re-using the old card, it shows an expiration on the card of 2020.
Again, probably not an issue, as I’m not flying internationally now. But if the need arises in the future, I want to make sure I’m in compliance, lest I get jacked up at Customs.
Any experience with this?
You'll get a new card soon with the updated expiration date on it.
I started my renewal last September. Waited... waited... waited... then the pandemic kicked in which delayed processing even more. Then out of the blue, a couple months ago I received a similar email. No interview, nothing - just that I was approved. I suppose someone finally got to their desk where my application was sitting and decided to move a piece of paper.
