    Your debit card is still recognised as an Electron, despite the card saying 'Visa debit' on it. The retailers haven't updated their BIN database to recognise the card as a Visa debit. It's not the cards fault.

    I think the only place I have had problems was Kwik-fit and a 'pay at the pump' Asda petrol station. I can't recall any other problems - it certainly works as M&S

    The card will work in nearly every store, it is online and pay at the pumps where the problem lies. I know it will not work with Tesco online but I use it a lot in the store with no problems.
