Well least is isn't an Electron!
Well it is but it isn't. Do Lloyds still do CG on their normal accounts? I have seen platinum Lloyds cards issued recently without CG and them customers pay for their account!
I have a bloody Electron card with my Abbey account.
I so jealous. I must be the person with the worst credit on this thread.

When are you going to ask them to upgrade to debit?
I've been trying to get one. I have only recently been upgraded to a Abbey preferred overdraft rate account, so I guess 2 more months.
I do have other bank accounts. Barclays no GC but it's Visa debit, Shatwest effing Solo and Yorkshire Bank it's a full account with a Maestro card, but my local branch has now moved to ....... Ellesmere port 65 miles away!! :eek: . I would shut it but I can't be bothered to travel all that way up there and it also gives me green 0's as well.0
