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!

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?
