A Cahoot generated numbers is clealry a safer bet.
Sad to see that Cahoot changed the expiry period for these numbers to a pre-set 30 days rather when they used to allow you to choose the period.
Weird thing is that although Cahoot (and their pals at Abbey National) have worked on it almost endlessly, they simply can not get me a working PIN for the card. You would not believe how many high-up managers and deep techies have worked on this. Cahoot have issued me with new cards and PINs. They have closed and opened new credit accounts for me. But it seems there is something sticky in their systems which continues to prevent my PIN working with my card. Even when I get PIN failures at cash machines they are not being logged on their systems as would be expected.
So far I have had 100 from them as compo and a rather nice box of chocolates! Nice people.
Only thing is that I can't use Cahoot generated card number for
18866.
