I got a letter a couple of months ago telling me of the split but it did not actually say what would become of my CC account, the letter was unclear as to whether I would be issued new cards straight away or hold them until their expiry date.
I may have missed the information as the wording of the letter was aimed at actual account holders rather than people that just used the credit cards.
Very pleased as I see it as an opportunity to to open another three Lloyds Vantage accounts @ 3% while keeping my existing three (now) TSB Vantage accounts @ 4%.
Currently have a gold account with Lloyds, this gives me free travel insurance and various other benefits.
It doesn't cost me a penny as the account was opened a long while ago when they didn't charge for the benefits.
Apparently they cannot start charging unless you upgrade your account, even Martin has said if you are getting the benefits without any monthly payments its a good deal.
Wonder what happens when I change to TSB
TSB will call them Enhance, rather than Vantage.
See page 4:

Don't forget that you can use the Post office for deposits and withdrawals too - if you don't mind queueing!
So existing customers may not get the choice of where their accounts eventually end up.
+1...Hopefully means I can get another three accounts, one of mine currently is being switched over to TSB
They are selling off the TSB branches, not the remaining Lloyds TSB branches. Those will become Lloyds Bank.
