Glad to hear that there are some credit cards out there with year 2000 expirations. I was clued into the potential problem about 6 months ago when I received a card with an 11/99 expiration. I compared it to my previous one, and realized that they had not advanced the expiration date as far as before. I then found a NY Times article on the possibility. The problem was not with VISA, but with all the merchant level transaction processing hardware. It occurred to me that VISA could get its act together and still have major problems if the jillions of merchants didn't pay up to fix their systems as well. Let us know if you have any trouble using your new card. jg
