FWIW, I just got an advance notice from the Mint asking me to update some of
my account information because the 2009 Silver Proof Set subscriptions will
begin processing in the next four weeks.

In addition to appreciating the heads-up advisory on the delivery, I guess
I'll have to compliment them for thinking ahead and not just notifying me
after the fact that my subscription shipment was cancelled because of an
expired credit card. IIRC, others have had that or similar experiences due
to bone-headed business practices at the Mint.

Here's hoping that you didn't just get yourself phished.

Not a phishing scam. I got the same message and it is from the Mint.

What sad times these are when it had to be assumed it is phishing first...

I didn't assume that on the Mint message. No links, no phishing. You
can develop a pretty good eye for that over time and my security
settings are cranked up to the Paranoia +1 level. I still assume that
about 95% of what hits my In box is spam, phishing, or malware, and
they all are guilty unless and until proven innocent.

I take back my compliment.

The same day I went to my online Mint account and updated my credit
card information and checked the box to apply the update to all my
subscriptions. That was 4 days ago. They confirmed it with an e-mail
at 1:51 a.m. the next day.

I just got an e-mail with the following dire warning:

"Please take a moment to update your subscription information by July
14, 2009. If your subscription record is not updated by the required
deadline, we will cancel your subscription."

I just checked, they have my new credit card number on file. Grrrr...
