Where's my gold card gone? (Natwest)'M
Discussion
Ok, from the outset I admit that this is me being a snob.
Recently Natwest have changed our Debit and Credit Cards from nice shiny gold cards to 'My 1st debit card' purple cards, it seems that they're changing all the cards to Visa but they no longer issue gold ones.
Does anybody know why this is?
When I was growing up I always saw the gold card as a bit of a status symbol and something to work hard to eventually achieve. It might sound silly but it was one of those little goals when you start working, like 'earn £20k per year', 'earn £30k per year' etc, etc.
I know it hardly matters but I was just wondering

I took out the 'Advantage Gold' membership to get an other 1% of my loan, then cancelled it, only paid for 1 months membership, but the cards were issued, rode on a Gold card for 2+ years.

They still do Advantage Gold, is the card not gold anymore?

The reason we have changed, is not because of the colour, but because the Visa Debit cards are more accepted than the old Maestro cards, that is purely the only reason! The colour means f
k all, infact the purple one is better because it's a visa debit and not a maestro debit!
So you work for NatWest then?k all, infact the purple one is better because it's a visa debit and not a maestro debit!Why not make the new Visa debit card gold you goons?
