Hello,
Thanks for signing up for Supercard. We’re delighted to have you on board.

We’ll be popping your personal Supercard in the mail – expect it through your letterbox shortly (you won’t need to be at home to sign for it).

just tried again and still the same reply after answering three questions regarding holidays i wasn't asked for any personal information name etc

with this reply

"i will be emailed shortly with what to expect next"

no mention of card being sent i'll wait it out

I signed up quite late in the day via the App without any problems. I've received an email which says:

I'm abroad at the moment and won't be back in the UK for another four weeks. I guess the card should be waiting for me when I get back.

Not available for BlackBerry users. Never mind, I wasn't sure it was worth it.

Blackberry users aren't worth the trouble these days

strange how some people Registered after myself and are getting messages about the the cards. i didn't even get the option to give any personal information.

bizzare way to run a launch not giving me confidence that they are really ready to deal with peoples money

good luck everyone i'll give it a miss for the time being and see how they go with the initial pilot.

What about people who don't have a tablet or smartphone?


Can I use someone else's smartphone to sign up or do I actually need the smartphone when I use the card?

What's the hurry?


You can get a Post office card, if you are too young for the Saga card.

I registered with no issues at 9.15 this morning. I got the reply others have received -

"We’re currently working our way through long lists to get Supercards out to as many people as possible. Unfortunately this means that we aren’t able to get a card to you right now, but we will keep in touch about Supercard and to let you know when cards come available."

I suspect that selection of recipients is being based upon the answers provided to the questions.

For prepaid debit cards it's a mystery why MSE staff have never mentioned a certain other one without loading in any currency, but preferred two others which do charge a margin.

Care to enlighten the rest of us?
