I still have a stack of shiny cards unfortunately none of them are in working order anymore - just a little momento.

:rotfl::rotfl:I chopped all mine up last year in a fit of desperation (even my very pretty Amex charge card)....later realised I could have made a nice mosaic out of the bits....I would have called my `work of art` `My Downfall` :rotfl::rotfl:

Think my co-op card might meet with a accident after June too.;)

Liking the sound of the mosaic - unfortunately the OR has my cards so I would imagine they are in landfill now!

Mines not due for renewal till 2011. I've just had a new one as one of the DC decided to destroy mine :rolleyes:. Maybe I will have to get one of them to destroy this one later

I was thinking of making some kind of 'credit art' installation myself. I have a lovely shiny red ribbon virgin card - I think that may be my fave however I do have to remember it was an MBNA card and they give me nightmares! The platinum ones are a buzz in themselves!

I love Co-op, they are sofriendly when you ring up. their internet is great, and I have never had my electron declined/not accepted. I would love to book flights and not have the credit card charge but ala, cannot even afford a tent trip for 6 to Cornwall this year!

Beware - all banks are nice and friendly when you're in credit but even Coop can turn nasty! Banks - they're all the same.

with natwest's basic account you can use your card for almost anything even flights & holidays just not food online & ticketmaster lol

I just want a visa!!

Only thing though debrag is that as a bankrupt you van't get a Natwest account.

Ain't that the truth - when I went BR I had a Smile account (Co-op by any other name) and they tried to take money from the Cashminder to pay off the Smile :eek:

Hi
iam just about to apply to the co-op today after recieving good advice on the forum yesterday as i have an apointment with CAB on the 25th june in regards to a LILLA aparently this is similiar to BR in scotland........i have only ever been with one bank all my life and use my switch (visa debit i think ) for everything i purchase ( which isnt a lot ) but will miss this teribly as i do my food shopping online etc due to me living in the sticks and having a disability unable to carry shopping bags and not driving or able to afford taxi's

will i be able to use the co-op card for this ? shall i wait to apply ? cab advised me to open up new account soon as

thanks
