New VS Credit Card Details

Just logged into my "old" Virgin mastercard account and it's the "new" amex one - just though I'd share .

Mine hasn't [:(!] I bet that means MBNA haven't done anything with my request yet.

Recieved my pin this morning, what a waste of paper that was, if they intend to keep it the same as the M/C pin!!

Hurry up card, I got some spending to do [8D]

I got my PIN today too (like nevadakaz my pin has not changed [y])- and it was all branded MBNA - no mention of AmEx or Virgin Atlantic on the correespondence.

My Pin arrived today too and it hasn't changed. Just hoping the card arrives by Friday so I can do some serious spending in the US.

What a waste of money, the boyfriends and my pin arrived today still the same ones. Plus don't you think they're stupid those peel back, scratch and turn over onto white paper things - I can barely see them and find it easier to read on the reverse!!!!

[:?]

havent got mine and I rang 1st thing last monday!!!

Yep had mine:D also the same as my old pin and I only called on Friday[^] no sign of the card yet.

[:?][:?]

just rang them - stupid mbna - request never went through - so now have to wait for them to process it from start..

Just called to get my payment date changed - they tried to sell me payment protection insurance! I have a pathological distrust of this sort of thing (along with 'insurance' when you by a tv or whatever)

You reminded me of the time I went to Dixons to buy a GBP9.99 hand mixer. The idiot behind the desk couldn't understand why I didn't want to buy the GBP12.99 Dixons insurance package to go with it!!!

I called MBNA yesterday to change over the card. They said they would post a new one out, but I'm not convinced. Not overly impressed that it is changing to AMEX and I certainly wont' be able to use it in Kosovo[:?]

Got my pin today too. Same as old one though - pointless - yes!!

G.

Had my pin today too -couldn't understand why MBNA were sending me a reminder of my Virgin MC . No branding on the letter etc to indicate it was the pin for the new Virgin Amex.

My wife and I both had our pins today as well [y]

Cheers

Has anyone here received their PIN and it HASN'T been the same? Mine arrived yesterday, and I haven't even bothered to open it (no card yet). Has anyone had their card???

The wife's just got her card, she's 'testing' it now! [ii]

Maybe she better 'test' it during a shopping tour; New York, Las Vegas, San Fancisco, Hong Kong...

And the UC/ SQ J tickets; for the baggage allowance, naturally.

Just got mine too - huzzah!

Will try it out this p.m. after work [y]

feeling jealous now... they still havent changed mine![:(!]

Re; People who have recieved your cards.

Were you a fee paying M/C holder ?
Which card did you apply for ? Which did you recieve ?

In the T&C's for the new Amex card, it says "We can't swap reward points for Flying Club miles. To get Flying Club miles, you need to take out and use a Virgin Atlantic American Express
Credit Card from MBNA."

What am I missing - the current MC card generates points, which are transferred as miles each month to your FC account? Or are there other "rewards" available on the MC?

There is also a Virgin/MBNA mastercard that rewards with member shop points. Not sure what the member shop has, but this was the alternative to a flying club mastercard.

I gather then from the last few posts that the supplementary card holders are coming out automatically. Thank goodness for that otherwise the other half would have had a fit not being able to spend anything till it arrived...
