Interesting, thanks for the link.

Do they (VM) already have details of people who have the MBNA Virgin cards? I got a letter from Virgin Money this week announcing the recent stuff (referring to me as a customer), but I have never used them for anything.

I got the letter but I am a customer of V Money.

Anyone else notice that on the adverts that the floating £ coin is upside down?

if the coin was the other way, you would see the tail side, and not the Queens head.

As predicted, the usual suspects lining up - Barclaycard and Virgin.

Sounds like Virgin would only get the Virgin Money branded cards. Wonder if the VS branded cards would also be included?

I would say yes, as on the back of my black VS AmEx card there's also a Virgin Money logo.

Ooh! Never noticed that!. Yes I'd agree... it must be nearly a done deal.

The logo is on both the VS American Express white cards too,(ie Visa & Credit card).

I'd never noticed that logo on the back of my card, but I went scurrying off to check!
