MBNA Virgin Atlantic Cards

Fruit_and_Nut_Case

MBNA have started issuing Visa cards linked to the same account as their Virgin Atlantic branded AmEx cards which have been around for a while. I think this is similar to the Lloyds TSB AirMiles Duo cards.

I would like to have different PINs for each card but each time I change one the other also changes.

Has anyone else got this problem and have they managed to get around it?

Does that mean that nobody else has these cards or that nobody else wants different PINs? Inquiring minds must know.

Perhaps nobody here knows.

You could try calling MBNA. They might know.

Oh I have. They will get back to me by the 25th of November. They say.

I received replacement cards yesterday and in the information it refers to 'One PIN' numerous times so I would assume that it's not possible to have a different PIN on each card.

I read that too and asked when I called to activate them. The person who answered wasn't sure and asked someone else. They said it should be possible to have different PINs.

If you go to the web site and make a realtime PIN enquiry it asks which card you are enquiring about.

Update

Had a phone call from MBNA to say that there is a problem and they are working on it.

Yes you can, bank atm (non-fee and accepts amex), insert card, pin services, change pin, then wait at least 24 hrs and change the visa card too if you want. Then check under 'tools and resources' online to confirm pin change has taken effect.

I did all that, except for the "wait at least 24 hrs" bit. Will try next time I'm near an ATM.
