Go to the dealers that you normally use, I don't have to show my card anymore ;)

E-Bay have Mintex matched set for £49.99 + £15 p&p

It doesn't pay to put cheapo ones on these heavy cars ;)

They will send you a replacement surely?  Do you have any of the paperwork, yellow book, old card?   As EP says if you are set up on the system of your local dealer you probably don't need it anyway.

If you have an old receipt from a previous purchase take that in and explain that you have lost your card. Its no skin off the dealers nose to give you t.c discount as they claim it back from VX. On the subject of discs you may find it false economy to buy pattern as there has been a number of cases of them warping very quickly.
