in Credit cards
just paid my deposit.

What type of card is it ?

I heard it's a platinum mastercard but don't see what difference it makes as it won't have a huge credit limit etc..

    It's basically a card designed for high risk customers or those with very poor credit histories.

    Credit limit will be around £100-200.

    It appears to be a silver MasterCard, according to their website.

    I wouldn't expect it to definitely be silver though, I'm sure the card designs can vary from time to time.

    Hi, my card design is light green 'splashed water', the card is contactless (Depending if you are within the M25/living in London). it's a Mastercard with a limit of £200.

    I got the card when it was invite only and unfortunately it isn't contactless also it came with the stock grey design.
