Is the annual fee confirmed as increased to £2500? Or is this a joining fee and annual fee remains at £1800?

With Cent becoming more expensive and changing benefits, the aforementioned Coutts World Card is undergoing a change too. Now known as the Coutts Silk Card.

Changes include: slightly improved insurance, additional cards included (with possibility to cap/monitor expenditure), defined gifts at different expenditures e.g. @ £25k get x, @ £50k annual fee refunded, @ £75k y..... and so on. The old points program "Courtesy of Coutts" is also being scrapped for "Thank you from Coutts". All else remains the same.

Personally I think the "Silk" rebranding is a bit weak, as is the points program renaming. I liked the old card style, purple theme and understated market position. Silk appears to also have a grey theme. Will see what the new one looks like and the benefits it provides in a few months....
