In my opinion People should get what they ordered. That means if they paid for a card they should receive the card. You still have to prove that your WIN is valid in the meantime and that you paid the one time fee. Which you can do on your cellphone through an app but...... What if you forgot your cell in the truck???? And fish game are asking for it in the bush a mile or two away. They'll ask for your Pal/R-Pal and Drivers License anyway. Guess where that all will be???? In your wallet. It sure would be nice to have an alternative back up. That being said who wants to remember a bunch more numbers. You remember your bank numbers, credit card numbers, address numbers, box numbers, birthday's, Anniversary's dates, pin numbers, license plate numbers and every other password that a person has to remember online. I don't know about you but...I'm getting sick of having remember all these numbers and it's a lot of work. I'm not a number crunching accountant nor getting paid to remember all these numbers. That's why I paid for the damn card.
