    Why? I'm stumped if I could find anywhere I could use mine anymore.

    I remember I used to use it in Tesco all the time and always a few days before payday or if I wanted the money to stay in my account for longer. Hahaha god I'm getting sad.
    Just nice to have a full debit card instead of a 2in1
