Natwest Credit Card moving to Santander

in Credit cards
I've just found out that my Natwest Credit Card is moving across to Santander (I'm based in England). This is in addition to my Natwest Business Direct Bank Accounts (both current and savings). I opened these specifically from a RBS account as I knew these would be moving. I didn't think Natwest Direct would also move - but there you are!
I don't mind too much about the bank account as I'll switch to someone else now but I do like the Black card and it's benefits (better than the new Black Private card).
Does anyone on the inside have any idea what will happen to this card? Do you think Santander will discontinue it (they have no equivalent). Has anyone considered switching now and what have you switched to?
The main benefits I liked were:
1/ Travel insurance had no age limit and no medical exclusions.
2/ Airline lounge access was usedful and I use it about 3/4 times a year.
3/ Homecare seemed good and I used this once with no issues.
4/ Extended Warranty was useful for TV's, fridges etc.
5/ Green Flag Europe - used this a couple of times but this appears to be quite common.
6/ £15K minimum limit was useful too.
7/ Conceierge service very polite and prompt. Used it a few times to book hotel etc.
The primary benefit was the quality of the call centre - very prompt to answer the phone. Obviously intelligent, well spoken people who knew what you wanted and dealt with it straight away.
Anyone know of anything similar out there?
