Just got my new, improved SENTRI card in the mail today. Has a several holographic security features and an imbedded RFID chip. Card also comes with a
copper lined cardboard sleeve to block the RFID chip when not in SENTRI lane.
You have 30 days to activate the card after you receive it, or the new card and old card will be unusableat border crossings. When you activate the
new card, the old card is automatically deactivated. New cards can be activated on-line or at the "local enrollment center" (SENTRI office).

What I don't like about the new card is your supposed to keep it in the card board sleeve. Which is too big for a wallet and too big for my pocket.
So I have to keep in my car.bajaguy - 8-27-2008 at 04:46 PM

You don't need to keep it in the cardboard sleeve. The sleeve supposedly blocks the RFID chip from being read by unauthorized readers.........I'm
really not worried about it.

We just received our new Sentri cards on Saturday. We didn't contact them, they just came in the mail. We are suppose to register them at their web
site but the web address they gave dosen' work. Is anyone else having this problem?rayfornario - 9-3-2008 at 11:36 AM
We got ours last week and activated them...it worked fine. I know they have
had problems with the webiste being slow but try it again.
