Easy to use,
No messing about, everything is straight forward, transactions, dealing with requests, taking money out, cashing cheques.... Couldn't complain. I am with Halifax and I find them to have great service, I only really use this card for simple activities like going our for meals... Paying for petrol... Only bad point for me is there are some restrictions online but I have never experienced a problem in the real world, and personally well recommend the visa electron.
