automatic nationwide account upgrade?

I have recieved a letter this morning from nationwide stating:
Here's your FlexAccount visa debit card. We have upgraded your account and we're pleased to send you a new debit card. This replaces your current cash card+

I am a bit confused, I applied over the phone a couple of months back to upgrade my basic purple nationwide account and they gave me an upgrade to the nice blue card and now I've got another blue exact same blue card.

I haven't asked for this upgrade, but I'm not complaining. Why have they given me this upgrade? Have they looked at my account and decided I should now have another upgrade for the second time in three months?

I feel special. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: :beer:

    You upgraded to the full account (with the blue Visa), what account did you upgrade to?

    Strange! :/

    I don't think they upgrade without a request. Basically, they've recycled your request and reprocessed it.

    Is the cash+ card a blue card that says visa debit? If so this the card I had after upgrading from the basic account with purple card.

    Blue card is a full current account, Cash Card+ is purple :)

    Strange, very strange indeed. It's there another current account available that comes with a blue card? Boy am I confused.

    There's the FlexDirect, what does it say on your card?
