New JAJA credit card replacing the POST OFFICE credit card???

Hi, I have received the new (black) Jaja credit card out of blue. Looking at the web I now understand that JAJA will replace my POst Office credit card.
Post office was sending me monthly statements regularly. I did not receive a single document from Jaja, just odd email which I deleted as a spam. So first impression not very good.
Looking more on the internet I realise that JAJA is Visa not master, nothing to worry but again nobody inform me about this.
It will be good if Jaja can come back to us (i am not alone surely) and outline all differences to post Office credit card.
More importantly this card was good for me when buying goods abroad as it has 0% charge on foreign transfers. How on earth I can know if this will be the same?
It is very difficult to find specific answers.. however I regular find websites claining following:

Jaja is led by CEO Neil Radley, former Managing Director of Barclaycard in Western Europe, who brings 30 years’ experience in the credit card and wider consumer lending market. It was founded by London-based Norwegian entrepreneurs – Jostein Svendsen, Kyrre Riksen and Per Elvebakk – each with a successful track-record of launching and scaling technology-led financial services businesses internationally.

It makes me sick that all these big smart heads are not smart enough to be transparent. Very bad job i would say. So, I will be closing this credit card and looking somewhere else... more domestic... and will be helpfull to know which credit cards currently have 0% on foreign exchange, let me know, post here so people reading this post could apply the same as I am intending. cheers

Neil Radley from Barclaycard and his 30 years of experience in credit cards... hope you are all looking forward to the call centres for JaJa moving to Asia.

It’s your own fault for not reading the emails they sent you telling you that the old post office credit card supplied by bank of Ireland was taken over by JaJa as they have purchased bank of Irelands U.K. Credit card portfolio which includes the AA credit card back in July of 2019.

They have sent numerous emails explaining what’s happening and that your card will switch to JaJa in October 2020. Also your new account very little will change in terms of how you use your card – interest rates, fees and your current credit limit will all remain unchanged also any promotional offers currently on your account will continue until they expire.

You also may want to search this forum as there is already a very long thread on this which started months ago.
