I just got my new set of Flame Javelin an' Unmake and I also received a new hard DCI card, smaller than a credit card and with Sarkahn Vol staring at you from the front.
Just wondering, I haven't heard anything about this so I thought it was kinda neat and would post it here.
Scanners down currently so.. :*(

If you assemble 8 warnings together, they fuse and form a ban. It's like Voltron, only with being evicted from the site instead of robot cats.
I got the same card too, I like it better then the transparent card I got my last DCI mailing. I don't have a scanner but I will try to explain it:
Front:
-Magic the gathering logo in the upper right with "Player Rewards" logo underneath it.
-magicthegathering.com is in the lower center of the card
-Sarkan Vol art on the whole front of the 'credit card'
Back:
-barcode in the borrom right
-name and DCI number in the bottom left
-white background
-Wizards logo and dci logo in the upper left
-ToS in the upper right
*edit* forgot I have a scanner at work! (I don't know how to link it to a smaller picture)
I kinda miffed up the top theres a few more centimeters on the top I just didn't feel like re-cropping it. But here:
The back is as Solon described, pretty basic, though I will note, it isnt made of the same texture as the old see-through cards and also it seems as though the text won't fade from use like the older ones.

The only problem is that the number is on the back. So I'd actually have to take it out of the clear plastic section in my wallet if I needed to use it to fill out registration forms.... Of course the only time I needed to do that was at big pre-releases, and those won't be available anymore.... My local store just uses DCI reporter history so I don't need to pull it out.

Your DCI number is on the back of the card you scanned. Not that it is a huge deal, but it might be better to keep that number private. Hundreds of people on MTG Salvation might use it to enter events, thereby scrapping your DCI rating. On the upside, you'd get tons of rewards because you'd participate in more events than any other man alive. :-P
Nice looking card though, I like the art on the front. Hopefully my wife and I will each get one of these, because our DCI numbers are starting to rub off from our old cards pretty bad.
They issued them either to replace order cards because people have been complaining they were too used and thus illegible by now, or to hype the new set by having one of the most sought after cards right on the front. Or perhaps a bit of both. Are you complaining about getting nice, free things?

Maybe they should make a DCI key fob doohickey like the big chain stores do for their discount cards - fewer people would forget them at home when they went to tournaments.
In my mailing I got a semi-oversized Feral Hydra (with Shards Pre-re and release dates), Sarkhan Vol DCI card (last mailing I got the clear swirly one...I like that one better), and 2 textless packs...When I had 25 token points! I want my foily textless CC Wizards!!!
Got one of these as well. Interesting that it had my original 6-digit number, as opposed to the new 10 digit flavor, which never got on one of my printed cards. They did put the 8 digit version on a few of them though. I too have memorized it, even as it grows and mutates.

Yup, that's the best part. I had my original 4 digit one. HOPEFULLY they fixed the old screw-up that dropped the last number off lots of people's cards...

It's quite possible that they don't do the big pre-res where he lives anymore, compared to you. They haven't changed at all here (Canberra), but some places seem to have had a big shake-up.
Elspeth "we must fight to protect order and justice!"
Tezzeret "No! he will break all my artifacts and stomp my head!"
Vol "powerful dragon must be brought to heel!"
Ajani "**** this Im outta *planeswalks to lorwyn* wow what hell is this place?"
Little lorwyn goblin "this be the place of bad art and Tribes!!!"
All other Alara planeswalkers "hey where did ajani go???"

Not much of a deal though, memorized my DCI number years ago.
