    Well given the original Platinum charge card is now a credit card, the rebrand is hardly surprising. Wonder if they'll change the colour at some point...
    They've just in the last few months changed the design (and the other mass-market basic card they offer, the Rewards CC) to a flat design.

    That said the Rewards CC briefly existed with a design similar to the old Platinum Cashback one (and the Costco green one, RIP old friend!) in a gold colour.

    I noticed that the look of the card in the app has changed. Shame about the flat design, I'm sure it fits with the modern preference for minimalist wallets, but I just think it looks cheap compared to an embossed card.

    As an aside, sadly I missed out on the Costco one. Clearly a bit of a falling out between them there on margins/fees, as it's the only place I know of where cashback is restricted to 0.5%...

    Just over 12 months ago I took up a similar offer, and yesterday a few pence under £160 of cashback was credited to my card account (included a £25 bonus for also adding a 2nd card for my wife), just in time to pay for our Christmas goodies🎅🎁🎊🍻
