Oh yes I hadn't notice that.

I actually very much doubt anyone ever received a Colombian LANpass credit card. It was promoted by Helm Bank (which is my bank) and they simply didn't want to issue them (not even to their customers). If anyone did receive one I am sure it has been swapped for a regular Helm credit card by now.

I asked my account manager what happened when they stopped marketing it and she said something like LAN was too awkward to deal with. Given that LAN manages bank cards right across South America and my personal experience is that my own bank is awful I am inclined to blame Helm
