Compton

Got a AIB Visa Debit card last month as i had lost my Banklink card Nice looking card etc Except the chip went faulty just after a couple of ATM withdrawls waiting for replacement card

So much for new technology

Just ordered it there. Took two mins with details on hand and very easy to deal with .

Ste_JDM

Done and Done. Mentioned my chip was slowly popping out (and it kinda is). She was nice enough to order a replacement and told all about the wonders of Visa Debt and that I should have it soon. My Laser will still work for the next 14 days. Not bad.

Also, call me a slow poke but I see AIB have changed to using a electronic Card Reader instead of the good old Card Code?

Yep

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

just rang up and said i wanted the new visa debit earlier today, didnt even have to pretend i'd lost my laser. dude also said he'd fix the spelling of my name (i'm a man and my aib cards have always had the feminine version of my name on them) although i've heard that several times before so i'll find out next week if aib will finally accept the existence of my testicles.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Ste_JDM

All very tempting until you get to a stage where your card gets declined due to lack of funds

Happened me, went mad buying stuff online, whereas before I'd have to call into the bank and put money on my visa debit in tsb, so I'd have to think about each purchase. Now it's click and buy.

card arrived this morning. had it linked to and confirmed on my paypal account in about ten seconds. aib internet banking a lot better than it used to be.

card itself looks quite snazzy, they actually got my name right on it for the first time in well over 15 years. was able to use it online straight away too after how easy it was to link to paypal. now all I need is some money.

Smashing, just rang up and asked to get the Laser swapped for a Debit. No problems, just the usual security verifications etc.

I just did the same, new card & pin will be posted out within 14 days, just in time for the new year sales

To be fair, you do have an incredibly long name Sir Digby..

I just got mine last week without ordering it at all despite the fact that my Laser card had another year or more to go.

Ste_JDM

Got mine! Huzzah

Not now it doesnt. Did you not also get a letter saying that you're laser card would'nt work any more after a particular date, or after you used your new visa debit card for the first time?

I got mine without even requesting one.

Question: Do they issue a new PIN separately??

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I was just stressing the point that others here were suggesting that the Visa Debit card was only being issued to those whose Laser cards were expiring or close to expiry, and suggesting ways to 'force' the issue of a new card, whereas I was given one despite the fact that my Laser card was nowhere near expiry.

My PIN was the same as on my existing Laser card.
