Im sure they heard that old chestnut loads of times today lol

However the website does incourage people to ring up before they automatcially get one.

I would like a Visa Debit card now, how do I apply?
Pop into your local branch or contact telephone banking. Remember, a Visa Debit card will be sent to you automatically before the end of 2010 if you have a Maestro or Solo card at the moment.

Ah fair enough :-)
My chip is genuinely faulty but at least I can be honest and say I wanted a Visa Debit anyway :-D

I've just called to report my SOLO card lost and was told 2-4 days. Didn't dare ask what type of card, so I might be surprised!

Well keep ya fingers crossed the card might not even get produced until the 17th or after.

Give them a call on wednesday and ask if your card has been produced yet. If they say yes just ask them out of pure interest what the first 4 digits of your card number is.

Ok, think i`ll just wait and see. been waiting weeks now and i bit the bullet and rang them today after reading this thread. Is it defiantly the 17th that the changeover is happening? If so and its another solo I think i`ll use the "I never received it" one

I'm very impressed with the turnaround time for the cards to arrive (i.e. 2-4 working days). Some take 5-7 days.

Making cards are easy though. The staff just need to order one on the computer. Then at the card company, the person recieves an order about a new card. After that, it gets sent to the makers to print the customer name, card number, and sort code/account number.

Well done Natwest!
