Sentinal Card Protection Safety

I have set up a llyods TSB account and got Sentinal Card Protection with it.
I applied to sentinal and they sent me some paper asking me to put all my card details and passport number etc on them.

Is it safe to put all the information and card/account numbers onto a single page and then post it off? I mean if that got into the wrong hands in the postal system somebody could clear you out and have all your details?

Surley this isnt a safe thing to do!? Especially seeing as the Sentinal Address is on the front so the letter is easily identified!

What do you think?

    cancel the card protection, it's an absolute rip-off.

    free for how long though? It's pointless anyhow, you're covered anyway as long as you aren't negligent with the card.

  • Ye but if I do loose my wallet, all i ahve to do is ring them and they will cancel all my cards and order new ones. Seems good to me.

    Thats not the issue anyhow, the issue is is it safe to put all you cc and bankcard details into the post system like that? Its looking for trouble I think?

    Surly they should have a better safer online way of registering your cards?
  • its not FREE!!! you pay a monthly amount fee for all of LTSB's services.- overdraft, card protection, mobile etc. shop around you will get a better deal.
  • A better deal then £2 a month (until November) for mobile insurance, AA roadcover and the sentinal card protection? Hard to beat that value, although i will cancel in November.

    Anyway, is it safe to put them details into the postal system like that? Any other ways to do it?
