Cap 1 Secured Card

A question about : Cap 1 Secured Card

Hi All,

Just received a new card in the post to replace the expiring card I had with Cap 1. It was a secured credit card with a limit of Ј200 that I took out 2 and a half years ago.

Instead of being the insipid grey it is now shiny and black with the word Platinum on it.

I cannot find anything online about this and was wondering what the platinum bit means etc? Is it just a fancy name to make me feel a tad better about myself?

Thanks

Best answers:

• My HSBC cards have 'Premier' on them, yet offer far worse rewards than my BA Amex (which looks IMO a lot more boring)
  It's just to make you feel better.
