Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

Oh okie, I know that recently I downgraded from Platinum to Club Lloyds and I got sent a replacement.

I had a HSBC corporate account while freelancing, and when I started operating through a company I had a new account and a credit card too. It was surprising my easy to open.

So my luck of banks not actually ordering my cards continues. When upgrading my HSBC account, I got an email saying that I will receive a new card in 7 days. Nothing arrived, so rang to check. Got told no card was actually ordered, so they will send a new one … To my local branch!

Oh well, at least it showed up on the app right away and instantly available to add on Apple Pay.

Oh ok. Do you travel to the US alot to get that card then is it like the Expat program?

Has anyone with a Barclays account requested a replacement card?

I did, not arrived yet.

Has it appeared in the app? Can you add it to Apple Pay yet?

Just shows old design in the app. I only have a basic account, doesn’t work with Apple Pay but does Google pay :melting_face:

Do we know if the Barclays Premier is being updated?

As much as I, personally, love the UK Premier cards (and they look better in reality) those US lion cards are something else. Love them.

Just out of curiosity when you upgrade to premier do they offer you an upgrade on the rewards credit card?

You can upgrade, but it’ll cost you a hard search as though applying for a new product HSBC love to root through my credit files at any given opportunity. Unless you’re in the habit of frequently buying white goods and want an extended warranty it’s not worth it in my opinion. The world elite card looks much nicer to me.

When I upgraded from HSBC Standard to HSBC Premier I didn’t get a Hard Search…

How strange. Maybe they don’t like the cut of my jib. I’ve had more from them in the last couple of years than from any other bank.

I didn’t get a hard search for my HSBC upgrade either.

Tempted to open a HSBC US account. Both their debit and credit cards look better than the UK ones.

I was really tempted into opening a HK account for the really cool card though I don’t know how I would justify to myself having a random hk account for a card. Also, what reason I would tell HSBC lol

Have a Saving account in HK dollar, maybe ?
