i recently got my six month merbership and then i proceded to get some booster packs containing my farourite cards, thinking that the cards i had bought would be removed from the list of cards that could be delivered the next day; as would make sense

however, upon looking at the "coming soon" tab today, i found that it is one of the cards i already have.

does this mean that effectively tomorrow i won't get a new card? doesn't that put people off doing what is effectively spending more money and getting both membership and booster packs/ tickets?

You may not get a new card tomorrow. If you don't write customer service about it, explain it all, and they should help you.

That happened just after I bought my latest subscription as well. I got The "coming soon" girl in a booster pack and the card on the tab didn't change.

I still got a new card of a different girl the next day though. It was just the image under the tab that didn't change.

So I would wait and see what happens tomorrow. If you don't get a new card, contact customer services then.
