New Passport Card problems

I got the new Passport Card (Credit card size) issued to Irish citizens recently.
I encountered two problems.

1. Aer Lingus does not allow one use it online where API is required.
I phoned AL and they told me the number on Passport book is the only one
accepted.

2. Schiphol auto recognition Passport booths (at immigration control) do not accept the Passport card - only Passport book.
I had to get in rather lengthy queue for Immigration officer do the usual check.

3. I had no problem using the Passport Card during the boarding process.
