From how hard they are pushing this, one imagines it’s not going well..... main thing that put me off is none of the protection you get with a credit card. |

now we know you can pay HMRC with this card for free and get 1.25 miles per £1 on your tax payments I think interest will pick up :-)

However ..... they get stroppy if you pay corporate taxes eg VAT. Seemingly no issues with personal tax. They ARE broken out on your statement so it is clear what has been paid. |

I got more or less turned down for this card. They wanted to see all sorts of things including evidence of a salary and lots of movements on a bank account and I'm not really generating a salary in the UK these days (although I'm a Brit). So I didn't bother following it all through. It's odd, because I was instantly approved for the Virgin Atlantic card. I wonder what the Lufthansa card people are so scared of!

They have started 2 factor authentication so you need the 6 digit code SMSd to your phone.
Might need to give them a call when they're open in the morning. |

The sort of tax you pay shows on your card statement, eg HMRC SA for self assessment.
Feedback from Head for Points readers is that paying corporate tax or VAT will get you a telephone call from Affiniture warning you off, with a threat of card closure. On the other hand, I am putting through a substantial six figure sum of personal tax each year with no problems to date. I am paying in weekly installments to avoid panicking them too much. |
Just noticed this announcement when I tried to log into my M&M card account. I wonder if it will replace the current Diners/MasterCard combo?
Enjoy unparalleled worldwide acceptance with the new Miles & More Global Traveller VISA Card from Cornercard UK. Due to launch in Summer 2021, the Miles & More Global Traveller card will offer excellent benefits, acceptance and customer service, alongside the possibility to earn 1.25 award miles for every £1 spent. We invite you to register your interest by leaving your name and email address and we‘ll contact you by email as soon as applications open. |
It's not clear.
Note the lack of Diners. At present the structure is 'M&M contracts with Affiniture / Diners Club which contracts with Cornercard to do the Mastercard bit'. New structure clearly cuts out Affiniture, probably at its request because no-one is using the Diners element. They may want 'out' if they are losing money and could force a transfer. The new card looks like it is still a prepaid charge card so hopefully no big changes. |
I hope they overhaul the website at the same time. The current functionality is extremely basic. You cannot even make an online payment to reduce your balance - you have to email/call them to request their bank details and then execute manual transfers. There's very little info about the transactions themselves, and often they take a long time to appear. They also mandate a DD to cover the full payment (as there is no easy alternative payment mechanism), which should be changed to give the option to pay specific amounts (see above).
