    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    If I remember correctly Santander don’t issue black cards anymore for select accounts and everyone just gets the standard red one.

    This isn't correct - they brought out a upgraded Select account that checks eligibility periodically. It has a black Visa debit card.

    The people on the closed Select product (with a gold Visa debit card) will either be upgraded to the newer product or downgraded to a standard 123 with the standard red Visa debit card.

    Once they migrate to debit Mastercard, the gold product will be retired with either a black or red debit card issued.

    My Select Card is black and branded Visa. It's a debit card.

    I also have a Santander Zero Card, which is Mastercard.

    They sent me a new gold Select card not that long ago.

    I got one of the last gold ones too. I was thinking of removing batteries from all the world's clocks so it never expires!

    That won’t stop the International Date Line :beer:

    Maybe I could do something with the earth's magnetism to freeze it? Or use the flux capacitor embedded in the gold card to keep going back in time to visit a different Santander branch until they have me visiting their entire network at once asking very persistently for a replacement gold card as mine is about to expire. I doubt they have a plan for that situation.
