Does the USPS forward credit cards to new address?

I applied for and was approved for a credit card back in March of this year. I moved in May and received a statement (forwarded to my new address) from the credit card company, and as I hadnt yet gotten the card I called and was told I had to fax over proof of my change of address to get a new card sent out. I did so and got a confirmation email back. Well after 2 months of waiting, after I sent in my proof, I called to find out what the delay was, and was told that they had sent another card out...to my old address again. Now I am being told that I have to jump through these hoops once again if I want my card sent to my current (and correct) address. So my question is (im long winded I guess), will the USPS forward a Credit Card to my new address?

1. The USPS should forward a credit card. Credit and Debit cards do not come in an envelope labeled credit card enclosed for obvious reason and as such they should not be differentiating specifically if it contains a card. There is a decent possibility that when the credit card was sent out the envelope was marked Do Not Forward - Return to Sender in which case it will not be forward and will have been returned to the card issuer.
