Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

should this not be where the word ‘premier’ should be, not a repeat of your surname

Unfortunately nothing as exciting, I would love a metal gold card. One is mine and one is mine as AU on someone else’s account.

When went from Green to Gold, I still wanted a charge card so got the basic :flushed:

Now Gold has gone up again in fees, I think I’ll downgrade to that lovely looking new rewards card.

Nope! You’re special.

Yeah, very bizarre. Never seen a bank repeat a name on a debit card, especially how semi permanent it is.

I’m guessing you can only request a replacement and hope they get it right this time.

I do love the Child&Co card though.

Yeah it does no harm. I didn’t bother getting a replacement card when I changed to Premier. I’ll just wait for a replacement to be sent when it expires.

My full name follows Spanish naming customs, so a first name, middle name and two surnames. Makes it awkward on cards.

On the C&Co card is shows both in one line. Title - First Name - Surname 1 - Surname 2.

Much prefer when they only use Surname 1. All my cards from Spanish speaking countries only show that surname.

My RBS visa card has arrived! I actually like all 3 of my current collection of cards. The purple design is so much nicer than the multiple coloured Natwest version.

I doubt they’d completely do away with the branding, it’s deep heritage.

There is still mention of it.

Yep. No sign of it here. Wouldn’t surprise me if they slowly slop doing the cards for it as well.

It’s my view that if they had an intention of removing the branding they would have done so a very long time ago.

But I guess only time will tell.

I’m hoping some more switching deals appear soon. I should be eligible for HSBC/FD, TSB, Barclays or Santander. The last time I had an HSBC card it said Midland Bank on the top and looked like this:

Come to think of it, I did also have one of these in the early 90s:

I’m just pondering the size of the disconnect between being worried about exif data, and not batting an eyelid in giving your personal banking data to a communist state–run corporation.

:thinking:

We give our data to the Western governments and security agencies constantly. There is an odd disconnect in that people assume we are inherently better than them.

Besides, “they’ve” all my personal info anyway. (If we are going down that line)
