Back in August, VISA and Mastercard were saying: NEW YORK (AP) -- Visa and MasterCard plan to soon lift restrictions against banks issuing credit cards that expire in 2000 or later, saying they've largely fixed transaction glitches stemming from a worldwide computer problem.... The limits will be lifted starting Oct. 1, and cardholders are expected to start getting the new Visa and MasterCards by early next year. 207.183.153.206 Wrong! I just got my new VISA card from Schwab. Old one was valid from 02/96 thru 02/98. New one is valid from 01/98 thru 08/99. Darn - I was hoping for a 00 expiration so I could go crash some systems. :-) I don't know how much $ VISA and Mastercard spend to make and mail new cards, but it's going to increase dramatically.
