Welcome kit wallet card

Mr.Bobster

Hi
Received the welcome today for the 70271 I passed on October 26th, and was thinking "what is that in the mailbox" then I realised.

Just wanting to know, what use is the wallet card apart from a) taking a card slot in the wallet and b) ID yourself as an MCP?
What use is the magnetic stripe on it used for? As in any useful purposes?

Thanks
Jason

I haven't found any use for it other than to show your friends/family that you are Microsoft certified. Of course you could use it to show a potential employer or your boss that you are MS certied on the spot.

They can scan it to see your score. Atleast that is what it says on the MS website.

Mr.Bobster

I understand.
Thanks for that and better get the MCDST welcome kit requested then.
That one I received was my MCP one (took long enought )

Thanks
