    I just phoned Natwest and that said that all of the current account visa debit cards are cheque guarantee cards.

    They haven't said my card is a mistake. They said it is a cheque guarantee card.

    Anyone know why they're switching from Maestro to Visa?

    Can't say I'd miss the CG feature of my card. Personally haven't used it for about 10 years. lol

    Increased protection - when you use your Visa Debit card to purchase goods or services you will now receive a higher level of purchase protection
    Worldwide acceptance - you can use it at 29 million retailers around the world, wherever you see the Visa logo, giving you three times more acceptance
    Secure online shopping - using Verified by Visa protects your card against unauthorised use when you shop online at participating merchants
    Secure payments and easy access to cash - simple and convenient to use when making payments, withdrawing money from cash machines or obtaining foreign currency when you're abroad*

    Sorry to hijack but this is what I was looking for.
    Is the protection as good as with a visa credit card?

    Thanks. I expect most people won't notice the difference anyway. The same as Visa v's Mastercard for credit cards.

    I wonder if Natwest will be switching over to Visa for their credit cards, too.

    Yeah I forgot about that lol

    Erm basically i think its the banks way of phasing out CG cards.

    If you had a CG before you should ask them to reissue your card with the facility.

    Why? Cheque guarantee is basically useless already, and will be completely gone by June 2011.

    I know yeah but by the sound of it wrangler5 would still like the facility of a CGC.

    You can do a charge back on a visa debit card unlike maestro unless the maestro payment was made over the net.
