BYould wrote:Just a word of warning about the debit card you get with this account, I have found to my cost that although it is a Visa debit the card is still rejected in various places. This seems to be mainly in places which don't use chip and pin machines.
I went shopping last week and my card got declined for £12 when there was £1800 in the account.
It appears that the transactions have to be authorised each and every time unlike some other visa debit cards.
I dont understand why that happened? StrangearooonyMrs Storey

lol .... I can't take all the credit. The CitiBank information came from another poster on another smaller thread and I just brought it to everyones attention on here

Update on my application:-
Received my ID documents back around 5 days ago, heard nothing since then. Although I did forget to 'untick' the Overdraft box so I hope that hasn't affected the application in any way.0 -
Well we still owe a great deal of gratitude to you for bringing it to our attention :T0
