i get jobseekers allowance and DLA and santander gave me an embossed debit card with a £500 overdraft plus a 123 cashback card with a credit limit of £2400 and im only 18 so i dont understand why prople on this (who probabley earn a lot more than me) cant get this type of card or indeed the credit facilities santander are giving me. The debit card i have starts with 4547 so does that make it an offline one ? :beer:

Unless you can prove it I personally think you are telling fibs.

I doubt there is much of a saving between supplying embossed and non-embossed cards from a bank's perspective.

It's just to give no opportunity for it to be used in old style machines.

The banks excuses for giving out these disney-looking-cards is what Toe-Jam said. BUT, they're lying, the real reason is that these cards are MUCH cheaper to make! The numbers get torn out in about just a few weeks and they are (and look) very cheap! It looks like a toy! Ridiculous... i'm sorry but there IS something to complain about.

Is thier a MSE law stating old threads cant be revived providing its regarding the same subject?

Maybe MSE should lock all threads to prevent such things happening.

stupid thing to suggest when you know there isn't; and not too hard I hope to twig that I am just reminding peeps before they add to a thread thinking it's current - the moment has passed and maybe even the OP's long gone
