    Went into the HSBC branch today to pay coins in :)

    Apparently they are upgrading the basic account in June and I will be automatically sent a debit card - just what I wanted - very happy.

    Auth all cards can work at the petrol pump as they still check with the bank the card works. Its just RBS and Natwest block Pay@Pump transactions on their all auth cards.

    A auth all card can only authorise the correct amount. They will not work where a small amount is authorised and then the correct amount is taken later on.
    The whole point of these is to stop over spending on the account.

    Every transaction at a [EMAIL="P&#64;P"]P@P[/EMAIL] is authorised.... They have a ZERO floor limit.

    If I can use pay at pump that is even better, as I have a young son and don't like dragging him out of the car to go and pay in the kiosk( and end up buying sweets and a drink every time :) )
