Tesco and ASDA Pay at the Pump. I've never had a problem ordering Tesco groceries online with it.

I have a Cashminder and a Visa card, not an Electron.

Yes, me too.

Makes no odds though with the companies I named earlier in the thread.

If your card starts with 4508, then it's treated as an Electron still with some companies.

M&S and Debenhams online, I noticed the other day in M&S when I bought some bits that it came up as Electron on the till so that will e why.

Train station, still despite the MD writing to tell me they would change it a year ago, Morrisons pay at pump despite it saying they take all cards including electron, that's all so far.

My local council took payment from ours no bother at all.

Some train stations do accept Electron cards as well as the Co-op Visa Debit. Mine didn't used to, but changed about 3 years ago to accept it. Though when I couldn't get a ticket at the station and had to get on on board, the machine wouldn't take it.

The problem is or was...... You can hold an electron card under the age of 18 so this is why a lot of places do not accept it like online M&S ordering because it would mean someone underage could order wine etc. I guess same goes at the petrol pumps.
Makes sense i guess.. My co-op card is a visa, never had any probs using it.

My co-op card is a Visa too.

Have you tried buying anything from M&S or Debenhams online with it?

If your first 4 digits aren't 4508 then maybe that's why you have never had a problem.

The companies that still have problems with Electron cards, which are now Visa cards, haven't updated their systems ~ that's what I was told by both the companies and the Co-op.

Ye mine is 4508 but is not an electron, however i understand what your saying about companies not updating.. I just wanted to say why Electron is a problem.
I worked at a call center for M&S for 3 weeks and the reason i gave earlier is why Electrons were/are not accepted.
