just got a used 206 today - NO CARD, will contact seller tomorrow to chase it up, just wondering if you got yours sorted, where and cost.

What is the confidential card for? My wife has a 1998 306 and I have a 1999

I believe it's for the keycode, ie. if you lose both your keys, you give the main dealer the card (and write them a blank cheque), and they will provide and 'program' one or more spare keys based on the code from the concealed strip on the card, which is specific to your car.

And don't forget to thank them for the privilege of parting with £££s.

I think it is extremely nice of them to lighten my wallet so that it does not strain me to carry it ;o)

Thanks for the explanation, that explains why I have never used it (yet!!).
