Are all Halifax credit cards so flimsy?

I received my Halifax Clarity card the other week and it feels very soft. It doesn't seem to be thinner than any other card but is very, very bendy. By comparison my Halifax debit card feels a much harder plastic, it flexes but nowhere near as flimsy as the credit card. Is this particular to the Clarity card or are other credit cards from Halifax also like this?

Funny, I noticed the same thing.

That was my first thought as well when I got my clarity card. Only got a clarity credit card with the Halifax so can't compare it with their other credit cards. But feels the most flimsy out of my 3 other cards, Halifax reward debit card, Aqua and a capital one card.

I think you're onto something! We accidentally locked ourselves out so to pick the Yale, my other half used a card. After brief consideration, he opted for my rather robust Co-op debit card, over our joint Halifax Reward!

Thinner cards are a positive according to my packed wallet!

Well, at least now I know it isn't just my particular card.

The thing is though, and as I had mentioned earlier, the card is not any thinner. It is the same thickness as other cards, just the material is softer.
