Lloyds TSB Trustcard? (visa & mastercard)

Smag

Got a letter from my bank the other day explaining that because I do not use the cards as credit cards they will not be reinstating them after they expire. I have had this TSB current account for 22 years and had the credit cards from around the same time. Am I being pushed out because I don't max out my limit and pay off my account when it is due? I have written to them requesting I keep my cards account. Hope it is worth the stamp!

Is it just usual credit card?
What do you use it for? For plastering?
Was not it cheaper just to make a small purchase? If you do not use it for shopping why do you want to keep it?

Smag, 'Trustcard' in itself is the old TSB card before the 2 banks merged. They now use 'Asset' or 'Advance' as their standard credit cards I think. Does your card still say 'Trustcard' on it? If so, possibly they are looking to gradually get rid of all those and using any trick in the book to do so?
