I will write to my bank and ask them if they'll supply a Mastercard by January, but otherwise do nothing until things settle out.

Other than when transitioning from one to the other, do any credit card providers supply both Visa and Mastercard cards, and offer customers the choice between them?

It used to be quite common, but doesn't seem to be the way nowadays.

The only reason they get charged the higher fee is because they process their payments in Iuxembourg to avoid paying taxes in the UK. If they processed in the UK they would have the 0.3% interchange cap and we'd have more money for public services!

ironic isnt it - or perhaps Karma ?
