    I still process quite a few IF cards in work, so they still appear to have a decent amount of customers actually using the current account. Compared to Cahoot, where I've processed 1 Cahoot card in 5 years. I process well over 800 cards a week (see quite a few rare ones too)

    'process' how? you mean you take payments over the counter?

    Yeah, just chip and pin transactions.

    Can't say I've seen a Hoare's card before. I work in quite a wealthy part of Edinburgh, so loads of Adam & Company, BoS Private Banking, few Centurions here and there, actually had a Centurion declined a couple months back, didn't think it was possible :rotfl:

    I have a cahoot account which has a couple of DD ticking over and just kept it alive for the £100 free overdraft and tiny amount of interest when in credit.
    I had intended to use the account switching to M&S bank to get the £100 M&S gift card but according to M&S, Cahoot is not covered by the switch guarantee and does not qualify for the £100 switching offer! :(

    Rubbish. I switched a cahoot current account to CoOp and got their £100 bonus plus £40 from Topcashback.

    i don't understand how Co-op Bank paying out on a switch from Cahoot makes it "rubbish" that M&S have said Cahoot accounts don't qualify:think:

    Because M&S have said that cahoot accounts don't qualify for the switch guarantee, which is bo11ocks.
