Supercard Financials

I didn't see an opt out, I just assumed there was one. Plus they sold my telephone number to a bunch of spammers (gambling, ppi etc) within a day of signing up and before they even sent out the card. Do you seriously think that's good practice?

How do you know that? Did you give them a single use throwaway number?

I gave out a mobile number which I hardly use and never generally give out. In six years since I've had the number I haven't had one spam call, on Friday someone with a automated dialer and withheld number called and a call from PPI scummers from 0333 155 2030 yesterday. Of course this could be a complete coincidence.

Possible, most of these auto diallers just guess and keep incrementing numbers until they get one that answers

Same here, maybe one or two spams in 10 years and four since I signed up on Thursday.

I've certainly had no unwanted calls since signing up.

Got my card this morning, easy to set up on the app. You get to view your pin as the final stage.

The only issue I see is that once you link your card, register your cards details and view your pin, the app does nothing else or so I thought but you need to press ok on the pin screen and then the app says all done and then you have full access.

The app lets you change your linked card details, see transactions and you can link more than one card etc

Are you able to change your PIN to one of your choice like other cards?

I think thats a mistake on MSE's part as Travelex stated in their twitter feed yesterday that free overseas cash withdrawals will only apply when your UK debit card is linked....if you withdraw on your credit card this will show as a cash advance on your CC and therefore you will be subject to cash advance fees & daily interest charges.

Have you got a link to that tweet? Because all I can find is both Martin and travelex saying its a standard transaction, ie you won't be charged
