Hsbc basic account holders to get normal debit card

I got the letter saying I would be getting new card within 3 months as they (hsbc) have changed the account slightly

No card has arrived as yet and I can't find the letter to work out when 3 months is up.

Has anyone got their new card yet ?

Cheers

    If you had checked the forum there had already been a few posts about this a few months ago.

    I guess they will get around to there existing basic account holders as and when they can.

    Yes, I did do a search but the TWO threads that I did see, were dated back in April and mentioned that the OPs rang up and got their accounts/cards upgraded.

    I have not rang up to get my account/card upgraded, I got a letter telling me that the card was going to be upgraded .. slightly different from the threads I found, hence a new thread asking my own question

    Could anyone direct me to the place that says MSE does not allow more than one thread on the same subject?

    Nice play on words.

    All I did was send a secure message to get my card replaced once I was aware that these letters were going out.

    HSBC are only updating cashcards, which is what you got with a basic account to debit cards.
    These are NOT contactless. Although they do work in [EMAIL="Pay&#64;Pump"]Pay @ Pump[/EMAIL].

    If you only have a auth all card. Then only FD's credit team would apporove a non auth all card.
