    Not a Lloyds customer, but have not seen that over many many cards over the years.

    You'd probably get a better response if you posted a photo, obv with personal details obscured.  

    They have a few different designs like:

    My card is the cashback credit card, in landscape it is the same as you describe - it looks a bit like this but a lighter green and the horse is embossed. Mine has the mastercard logo bottom right rather than visa and says Cashback Credit at the top without the 3 raised dots.

    If I flip it over still in landscape the text is all the right way up, mine expires mid next year so maybe will have a new card design then

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I assume you're flipping it horizontally. Flip it over vertically instead of horizontally and it should all remain the right way up.
