It's a new style debit card that has a sensor thing in it so that you can swipe it in some shops to pay for purchases under £10 without enetering your pin or signing for anything. Eeek!
Why would I want a card that someone could take off me and use without any form of id? Even if it is for purchases under £10? I would much rather go through the 'hassle' of entering my pin...
The annoying thing is that they automatically cancel your current normal debit card. So now they have to send me out another new one without the sensor.
Although on the plus side my bank is awesome and always sort any query I have within about 30 seconds of being on the phone (it's Bank of Scotland aka Halifax btw).

people won't see you use your pin as much?
so it's safer??
with a lot of banks cancelling a card thats lost/stolen wont actually prevent its use a lot of the time, certainly from what i saw working for some bank
