Does anyone have a picture of the Barclaycard Forward irl?

Great haul. I don’t have that To The Moon colour (mine’s orange) and I need to get a vertical Hyperjar card too.

Does this mean they’ll be an international flavour to your collection?

They probably use a wallet sized briefcase!

If you don’t use them is there a likelihood they could be cancelled by the card provider?

I don’t think the big collectors worry about them working and in most instances, if they could have paid a few quid for the card, that would have saved everyone the time and hassle creating a new account.

Starling debit (Mastercard), Child & Co. (ie. RBS) debit (Visa), Nationwide credit (Visa) and Amex credit.

That’s when I carry a wallet, which is less than 50% of the time.

I know Lloyds and Santander won’t send a replacement card automatically if usage of the account is low, but it’s easily ordered if wanted.

Latest haul - I don’t hate the HSBC ones as much as I thought I would. Halifax Clarity is quite a nice colour. Also like the FlexPlus & C&C ones a lot.

I had this thought yes, and is why I don’t hate the NatWest debit that a lot of people don’t like, as at least they’ve tried something different and I respect that. There’s minimalist and there’s boring and unoriginal. I’d quite like if the HSBC logos were maybe a more similar colour to the background and tessellated across the card with a slight sheen on them, so a more subtle logo but still visible and a much more interesting design. I guess a massive logo is just the easiest way of getting some brand recognition.

This is what I love about this thread - I’m actually for it, looks quite nice to me but nice to see alternative viewpoint’s

Still preferred the lion card, tho

:smirk: Same, and I think they could achieve a similar effect with tessellated logos, being a hexagon and all.

So it turns out if you do the C&C trick, and then open another regular RBS account the normal way, that also gets opened as a C&C account with the same sort code. I don’t know if this was already known, but it seems to be set at customer level not account level. Which I suppose makes sense thinking about it.

I opened a DRS last week and have all the information, but it’s not appearing in online/mobile banking yet. How long did yours take?

That’ll make it more difficult for me to get regular RBS cards in the future :thinking:

Who am I kidding? I’m never getting the posh hut.
