Changing card types

Lloyds Banking Group (Halifax and Lloyds Bank) allows customers to swap their card types.

It seems that they don't let you swap from a promotional interest rate card (e.g. balance transfer cards, and 0% interest free purchase card for 'x' number of months) to a low rate card, another promotional interest rate card, or just an 'ordinary' card without any offers/features/benefits.

Why is this? Do other banks have this sort of policy of card swapping?
