Membership card renewal

[medolfan]

My initial membership card expired last year and I have since renewed my membership online.  When will I receive a new card with a new expiration date?

I think mine took about 4-5 weeks to arrive.

I think the cards and certs are sent out on the three year schedule. (Although,
come to think of it, it's been a while since I saw a card ...)

Now when you complete your 3 year certification cycle, you get the whole member kit of certificate, card, and pin.

When I renewed my two certs at the 3 year cycle last year, I got both kits.

Seems it takes 4-6 weeks for the kits to go out, both for new folks and renewals.

@medolfan Once you renew, a new certificate package will be mailed to you within 12 weeks. If you live in the states, you will likely receive it within 4-6 weeks. If it has been more than 12 weeks since your cycle start date, please email me from your primary email on file and include your member ID number and I will look into this.

Charles,

Has anyone ever required your card to authenticate you in any way as a CISSP or for access to a meeting? 

For that matter, has anyone ever asked to see your card at all?

Have you ever shown your card to anyone without being asked?

I've been a CISSP since October 2002 and have NEVER been asked for my card, or used it for any purpose.

Same questions for everyone else on this thread: @Brewdawg @rslade @emb021 @amandavanceISC2 

Rather obvious money saving idea for (ISC)2:

Stop printing and sending cards to members. Just provide a PDF for download from the member's personal profile area that can be printed locally. To be really cool, provide a digital card that can be saved in Apple Wallet and whatever equivalent Android app exists.

(Do we really care whether M$ Windows on mobile phones has such an app?)

Sorry, I like having an actual card.  And I have membership cards from other orgs.  I hate just having a card that I have to print out from a website.  There are means to inexpensively provide a card.

With ISC(2), the card comes with your cert & pin in the membership kit.  So its not like a big expense, and ISC2 isn't hurting for money...

Well, there is:

I do recall that some company, when they had a bunch of people get certified, had
actual full-sized physical badges made. One of them carried his when travelling,
and, once when travelling by air, was pulled out of the security line-up and
bypassed the security scan and pat-down. He figured that they'd seen the badge in
his carry-on luggage xray, and decided he was an air marshal ...

- Is it plugged in? - I can't see.

I've never paid much attention to the card before, but now I'm feeling inclined to carry the renewed one with me as I'll be flying to a few countries in the coming days.

If there are any welcome / unwelcome consequences, I'll share them here...
