    Yes. ;)

    AFAIK, the N+P debit card doesn't offer loyalty points or cashback. The Travelex Supercard does both when linked to appropriate cards.

    Oh, and I don't need to open a M+P current account.

    They already have an N&P Gold account...which has it own benefits.

    The questions was:
    I have a Norwich & Peterborough Gold debit card which is fee free from foreign ATMs - is the Travelex Supercard any better ?

    What happens in the event of a disputed transaction with a Supercard, do you know? A chargeback? Do you know?

    I'd much rather be dealing with N&P, than Tuxedo.

    See my previous post on this thread.

    They now have 25000 names and email addresses, plus bank accounts for their suckers list.

    What brilliant logic. They went through the enormous amount of work required to build financial software to dynamically link bank cards on the fly to a prepaid card, and will provide an ongoing service to the people using it, just so they can get a list of names and email addresses.

    I take it you're some kind of expert financial analyst with such deep insight?

    It wasn't necessary to add bank account details in order to receive the card.

    So I used the app, entered email and mobile phone number, not got a card and received a call for life insurance tonight. I have managed to keep my phone number spam free for 15 years. Coincidence?

    I do feel a bit mugged that I was encouraged to download an 'app' and duped into passing my details through the app then got my first spam call ever tonight.

    You think they gathered your phone number, bundled it with others, sold it to a company and then that company used it all within the space of a few hours?

    Did you tick the third box on the last screen that said (to paraphrase) "Allow us and other people to call you, text you or email you with random stuff"?

    If so, that was probably the mistake.

    If not, it's unlikely to be connected.

    Managed to get one today. But I have registered a since a few week ago.

    "Yourcard is on its way" .....

    I already have a few specialist cards for foreign currency withdrawal abroad. But just want to try this one ...

    Thanks. My wife has just got one.

    From seeing your post to getting confirmation took about 15 seconds. A bit of a contrast from yesterday.
