    Does the Visa "Infinite" branding signify anything at all? A-Googling gives very broad results that seem to suggest it means anything the card provider wants it to.

    I tried to register on the VISA Concierge website but it wouldn't let me. I wonder if any other Zingers had better luck?

    Didn't work for me either

    Saw this:

    https://support.zing.me/hc/en-gb/articles/15345383395101-How-do-I-get-a-Visa-Infinite-card

    Your digital and physical Zing cards are automatically Visa Infinite.

    Infinite rewards and benefits are coming soon. Once these are live you won’t need to register and you’ll be able to view these in the upcoming ‘Rewards’ section of the Zing app.

    Had an e-mail from Zing this afternoon with a reduction in fees. 



    I don't do many international transactions but this looks to me like Zing have suddenly become competitive against the likes of Wise and their 0.43% fee?

    Yes, looks like they are sharpening their pencil.  I wonder if update has been lower than expectations?  For my main use case I need US Bank details for ACH Transfers from my US broker.  But the situation seems fluid and there are some interesting features, so will stick with it for now and see what develops.

  • They paid me a fiver for topping up £20 and making a couple of card purchases this month. There's also a prize draw for Paris Olympics trips.

    Just wish they'd stop the cool dude marketing bollix, we all know it's really old Uncle HSBC trying to look hip and down with the kids.

    Is there any specific promotion or why did you get a fiver?

    I misremembered didn't need to top up, 2x£1 Amazon top-up did it.
