Collected Thoughts on Card Design (Part 2)

I found the claim form, it says:

Some bank accounts and credit cards come with Travel Insurance benefits and if you did have cover of this nature we may seek a contribution from the other company once your claim is settled. A loss that is covered by more than one policy will routinely be shared so each Insurer can keep their premiums as competitive as possible, but the contributing Insurer cannot alter the price of terms of its policy unless there has been a claim direct from a policyholder.

I did have two travel insurance policies at the time and did list the other one, but I have no idea if they actually tried to share costs with the other one.

Closest one I almost got was HSBC US Premier Credit but they still said no.

Seems a shame not to have Santander, to compete the ‘big 5’ set! HSBC is a great design and I think the Barclays Premier card is a bit underrated, fairly clean design and the Barclays / Premier Banking in light blue standout nicely against the dark background.

But I did succeed to add it on my 16e and MacBook Pro, only my 16 Pro failed

There’s a newer Barclays Premier card to this, black with just the Barclays logo in the centre.

Does the new design show up on Apple Wallet now?

It hasn’t for me. I have to say though, the quality of that card is awful - anything but premier!

No mine hasn’t

Most premier cards are pretty awful tbf - the NatWest and RBS ones are particularly bad.

Zempler Debit Card arrived at the start of the week. Quite like the simplicity of the app, don’t think it’ll see too much usage, but overall good experience for a ‘lower end’ business option.

Had to join Lloyds Premier for that card. Beyond the card the experience has been bellow premier. As seen above, cannot get the card loaded to Apple Pay, tried for a few days, think I’ll need to call them at this point. App keeps locking up too. I was considering a Triodos > Lloyds switch, but perhaps not anymore.

I love my Lloyds card. It’s so fancy IMO. In and out of my Nano wallet and not a scratch.

Prefer it over my Revolut metal.

Seems like there’s lots of AmEx debit cards in China lately. Wonder why.

I’m also very surprised by the number of AMEX cards in China.

Similar to why are there so many Smiths in the telephone directory (remember them)?

Answer: because they’ve all got telephones.
