credit card has come - surname is spelt wrong

missing one letter out on my CC. I got it for the 0% balance transfers, will getting them to replace the card with the right name on in way affect the deal? is it that serious to get it changed being that the card won't be used anyway?

    No it wont. NatWest went through a phase of putting my middle name rather than my surname on the card. It was simple enough to get it changed.

    No one checks these days, in fact.. I have been using an Amex card for the past 6 months with "Donald Duck" as the cardholder (An additional card on my account). No questions were asked once I'd ordered the card and only 2 or 3 people have ever noticed... and laughed whilst letting me put the PIN number in.
    Regards, Dibs.
