What happened to the keycard that they promised would come with the Mach-E? How are we supposed to use a Valet?

Who promised that?

There is a valet mode. It doesn't even require a key card.

However, feel free to make your own key card with your favorite postcard and a pen.

Huh? Who's "they"? As far as we know, the MME doesn't even have NFC, so there was never any plan or promise of a keycard. Are you thinking of Tesla?

You shouldn't need a card or a FOB for a valet if you have PAAK and a backup passcode set up. Pg 64 of the manual:

Wow!! is Ford updating the user manual? That would be cool. As before it did not say anything about the backup unlock or backup start. It would be even better that when they make an update letting us know.

Of course they'll be updating the owners manual. But that clip was from version 1 (page 64).

Backup Start is in the original owners manual, published 11/16/2020, twenty times.

It was in one of the early videos from Ford.

Valet mode only restricts changes to settings. It does not give access to start the car.

I am better remembering what I hear than whare I heard it.
decades of legal statistics and studies of witnesses in criminal cases would suggest you're probably not as good at that as you think you are

Yes, it does.
Well that is good. But how do we make that work when we are going into a restaurant. We really do not have the time to give the valet a lesson on how to start the car. (We may not even speak the same language.)

Then give them the fob like any other car.
