Ok so i have an account with HSBC and i have got a solo card with it. Only problem is NOWHERE accepts solo on the internet

My girlfriend has a similar acount with natwest and has a maestro card.

So my question is, why do i have a solo card, and not a visa/maestro etc etc, and whats the difference between them!

I've got a solo, for the personal account, and to be honest, i've never realised nobody takes them?? I've bought stuff from loads of places that take them!

Just to confuse you further, HSBC is now changing it's Maestro card to be called Visa/Maestro but it's not a credit card

You might not have that card for much longer, I got a letter through the post yesterday to say that HSBC are changing from Maestro over to Visa cards, not sure if it's the same for Solo users?
