I don't know if this type of thing is done outside the US, but both of  
these cards were issued (by different card companies) in partnership  
with Costco, which is one of several "big box" or "warehouse" stores in  
the US, where you have to be a member to shop there.  (BJs and Sam's  
club are two others).  When Costco didn't renew their agreement with  
American Express, they switched to Citibank VISA - but because the new  
cards were replacements for the old ones (which were all canceled at  
the time of the switch) they made arrangements for the transfer of the  
historical data.

I only thought about the transaction IDs, and that they would likely  
change in the new account, after Thomas mentioned it.
