Hey, I'm really sorry you feel that way. Keep in mind this is only the second phase of our contactless cards roll-out. There's more to come and we're going to make sure that nobody feels left out. But we needed to be mindful in how we proceeded with this, for a few reasons. First, if we had released the new contactless cards and allowed everyone to re-card immediately... From a stock management and delivery perspective, this would have made it very difficult. And probably not great from a customer point of view as well: bear in mind that cards go inactive when they're being replaced, and that's something we've been assessing whether there was a workaround or not.
We considered different options in how we were going to re-card our oldest and most loyal users - including doing it by batch starting from earliest adopters. But this would have created a lot of technical work at a time where we'd rather have our teams focused on delivering a better app & experience.
Anyway, I completely understand how some of you will feel about it - and I anticipated it. Not trying to say we've made the best decision, just explaining what was the thinking behind the route we took!
