    Those of you that haven't had an update email from Curve to date, why not get in touch via their support@ email address?

    They were very quick to reply when I got in touch to ask something.

    Thanks, they replied quickly. I'm on the list for despatch from the 27th apparently. Unfortunately too late for a couple of large purchases i've been putting off which have to be done by that date.

    Great!

    It's frustrating for me too... had to use a mastercard for some of my purchases recently on a card that I am hoping Curve will replace, if it lives up to expectations.

    I'm weary of paying for a card that is an intermediary card and hasn't been reviewed yet. Will wait till its mentioned in Martin's blog

    Some uncertainty being mentioned on Flyertalk regarding whether or not Curve will continue to accept Amex. If the agreement with Amex does fall through it sounds like they will allow refunds.

    Note the blogger in that link above who says refunds will be allowed is being paid by Curve! I'm sure they would want to refund unhappy customers if the negotiation with Amex falls through, but not if they could - more likely they go in to administration. If you can't afford to lose the £35, get out now.

    A lot of the "Amex pulling out" talk seems to have been inflated by bloggers that are plugging rival cards. Curve have made it clear that the relationship with Amex is strong and other have posted saying that their Curve cards work with Amex in the background.

    And no I do not work for Curve.

    I use headforpoints all the time, and I really don't think Raffles would be bought out that easily. It's a very useful website, and has saved me several hundred pounds.

    Gotcha Eagle, I'm not really up on these blogs so didn't realise. Was worried that Curve haven't denied anything on Twitter.
