    Has USFA given up on issuing the plastic membership cards?

    My kid's never showed up, though the online version is up-to-date.

    No. It arrived in the mail about a week ago after a mid-August online renewal.

    I didn't get a card either, but I'm listed on the site as a competitive member.

    So the site is out-of-date?

    Got mine very promptly after renewing in mid-August. I would check the pile of in-coming mail again and, if it's not there, E-mail USFA for a replacement.

    Nope. I joined as a competitive member this August, once I realized I was well and truely bitten by the fencing bug.

    I renewed a couple of weeks before the first day of the new season, but purchased a Supporting Life Membership (Installment). Had my card before 1 August.

    Emfuser (boyfriend) already has a Supporting Life Membership, renewed and paid his installment mid-August. He *still* hasn't received his new card.

    I'm on the lifetime installment plan and got my card. Perhaps only life members get cards now? Which would be silly, since eventually I shouldn't ever need a new one again...

    I too renewed in august and still haven't gotten my card. It also took them six months and two emails to update my previous rating change, and I earned a C three weeks ago and they're still listing me as a D11, so I've just come to the conclusion that the USFA national office is just out to get me personally.

    Got a note from USFA (after emailing them) saying there was a distribution SNAFU and I should receive a card in the next couple of weeks.

    Thank you for saving me an e-mail.

    Professional membership: Renewed about when yall did.
    2 weeks ago I received a nylon neck pouch thingie, an inexpensive certificate and a letter thanking me for for undergoing a background check... and a promise that the card that goes into the neck pouch thingie would be mailed under separate cover.
