Lloyds Avios Rewards - PIN query

m00se1986

Heya,

I have recently opened one of these accounts and received the AmEX and MasterCard which link to one account. Could anyone who holds these cards enlighten me on how the PIN works between the two?

There seems to be conflicting information on the Lloyds/Avios websites where in some places it refers to the account having 'One PIN', and then in other places it refers to needing to change the PIN on each card separately. I put the AmEx into an ATM this morning and was able to change the PIN on that, but the MasterCard does not give me any option other than cash withdrawal.

I called Lloyds a short while ago but it was pretty clear the person I spoke to didn't really have any idea!

Thanks for your help

I am pretty sure each card has an independent PIN.
This is certainly the case for my Barclaycard 'duo' (although from the start they had the same pin as they replaced the old 'solo' card).

They both have different PINs (although come with the same one to start) as the PIN is actually stored on the card.

Why not try the cards in an ATM to see if you can get an available balance (do not withdraw cash it will cost you).
If it works then change the PIN to something you can remember.

Because for some reason "the MasterCard does not give" the OP "any option other than cash withdrawal", i.e. no option to change the PIN.

Thank you for your responses, I tried the MasterCard in another ATM in the end and was able to change the PIN there. Not sure if this was a glitch or something specific with MasterCard!

Might've been a glitch but I've a Lloyds Choice Master/AmEx combo and the PIN was the same for both of the cards.

Good to see you've got it sorted though.
