The part about Moo cards doesn't surprise me, I couldn't see that going on much longer under the circumstances.  Too bad though, it was one of the few remaining perks.  Not sure what to think about the Getty Connect / Yahoo Partnership thing.

Shame. I like my Moo cards, and, like you say, it's just one more exclusive 'perk' to be taken away.
Love the retrostpective future tense: on 25th June they say, "as of June 22nd we will no longer process card requests".
No matter, I've already bought a set of Moo cards myself to have my Alamy port referenced as well as my RF port at iStock.

No real lose for me as each time I tried to order them, it never worked. But it would be nice to see IS replace that perk with something that works all the time.

Sorry to hear yet another exclusive perk vanishing.  FWIW, if you like the Moo cards they are pretty reasonably priced.  I've been getting them for myself for years.  They are beautiful and always make an impact when I hand them out.

exactly, and that's probably the point of Moo being involved..... to get your business. They did a facebook promo too a while back, which I didn't utilise. Part of me wishes they'd quieten down, as the cards do make a great statement and if everyone gets them I'll have to search for something new and different, and that just smacks of effort.
