I don't really care about the Avios, but I certainly care about the 2.99% exchange rate fee.
So I applied for a Tandem card and got rejected even though my Experian rating is 999, most likely due to me applying for credit last week!

So that's it then, bye bye Lloyds Avios Duo.
FYI, the new rate with the rip off Mastercard they will send is 2 Avios for every 5GBP eligible spend.
Why is it a rip-off? I thought there was no annual fee on the new Lloyds Avios Mastercard? Yes, they've changed their T&Cs which may or may not suit everyone but surely you'd just use another card if the new features are no longer to your liking?
