I suspected that I got rejected because I didn't check the
"move my standing orders to this account" box and the system thought that I
had only applied for the account to get "free" foreign transactions and
wasn't going to use it for anything else.

Probably. I seem to remember that when they first announced their account
with 'free' foreign transactions I was told that to get full facilities -
i.e. credit/debit card and check book I would have to open the account as my
main current account and make regular payments into it. I applied anyway and
got all of these with no conditions at all. I only now use it for foreign
transactions and when travelling abroad.

Get an electron
card which avoids the charges on both airlines.

I have a Visa Debit card - would that be accepted do you think?

No- only Visa electron.

Those who issued Visa Electron cards seem to be replacing them with Visa
Debit
cards.

You can still easily get one from Halifax.



Give us all the details (card number, expiry, CVV etc; so that we can all
use it?

I actually now do, and did intend, to use it as my main account.

But I wanted to move everything across under my control
