    ...Because it don't work anymore??

    It still worked, just not always with the chip and PIN. The PIN worked in Sainsbury's and Somerfield, but not in H&M, Morrisons or McDonald's and a few others.

    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Thanks, I have the same account.

    Any chance you can get a picture?? I want to know if it's worth asking for one. I'm shallow and pedantic that way.

    With regards to the sponsorship cards, these are not definitely going to be produced; the pictures posted here were from a survey about them, so these cards (or something similar) may or may not be released depending on the public response.

    In my view, Lloyds would have very little to gain from having 2012 branded debit cards, not least because of the (unfairly, IMHO) negative reaction to the games, and the cost of producing new cards that will in all likelihood expire long before the 2012 games arrive.

    I've just opened a new personal account last week and my 2012 card arrived on Saturday :)

    As my new employer(!), they are making an almighty deal of being a major sponsor and are incredibly proud of it.

    It's common sense that they will only issue the new cards to people who need them because they're new customers/expired/lost/stolen/broken cards!

    I'm not posting mine because the logo is right over all the numbers etc.

    I've got the Platinum account so my card is silver and the 2012 logo is an outline in black filling the majority of the card.

    Ok. If anyone would post a picture of theirs, however just remove the part with the card number. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it. :)

    Even if you cover up the numbers, it will still give us an inclination as to what it looks like.

    I don't like the horse on the current card, the eye seems to stare at you always, as if the bank is always watching you.
