About replacing your old notosplus Visa

Why does my notosplus Visa card have to be replaced?

We are redesigning our products and are replacing all notosplus Visa cards with the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard credit card, which is similar in terms of quality. Our aim is to move into the new era, and offer you flexibility and better services, in line with the current market conditions.

The Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard incorporates innovative technology and is universally accepted in Greece and abroad. It is also linked to the Bonus programme, the biggest loyalty programme in Greece.

Can I continue using the notosplus Visa card I already hold instead of the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard I received?

No. The notosplus Visa card will be cancelled within 2 months from the time your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard is issued.

So make sure you activate the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard as soon as you receive it. Once you activate it, the notosplus Visa card will be cancelled immediately and you will only be able to use the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard in its place.

I have not received my new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard yet. Can I keep using the notosplus Visa?

Yes. Until you receive your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard, the notosplus Visa you already hold will continue to work as usual.

I hold additional Alpha Bank cards (debit or credit, Mastercard or Visa). Will they be affected by the replacement of the notosplus Visa?

No, they will not be affected in any way. Only the notosplus Visa will stop working.

Will I continue to have access to the benefits of the notosplus Visa loyalty programme?

No. However, you gain access to Alpha Bank’s Bonus loyalty programme.

I have a notosplus Visa loyalty programme gift voucher. Will I not be able to use it?

No. If the notos gift voucher is still valid, you may redeem it at a notos store cashier with your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard.

About services and transactions linked to the old notosplus Visa

I have standing orders in place to pay bills automatically with my notosplus Visa. What should I do?

Give the number of your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard to the companies you had set up standing orders with your notosplus Visa (e.g. mobile phone companies, pay TV companies, insurance companies, subscriptions to websites, magazines, newspapers, etc.).

I have saved my notosplus Visa details in e-shops. What should I do?

Update them with the details of your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard.

I have added my notosplus Visa to my digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Xiaomi Pay or Garmin Pay). What’s going to happen?

Once you activate the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard, you will need to add it to your digital wallet and remove the notosplus Visa.

What will happen to the outstanding balance and any pending transactions on the notosplus Visa?

As soon as you activate the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard, the outstanding balance and any pending transactions on the notosplus Visa will be transferred to it. From then onwards, these will be paid off through the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard.

What will happen to the notosplus Visa card balance if I never activate the new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard?

Within 2 months from being issued, the outstanding balance and any pending transactions on the notosplus Visa will be automatically transferred to your new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard.

I have additional notosplus Visa cards linked to my own. What will happen to those?

All holders of additional notosplus Visa cards will receive a new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard, additional to your own.  They will be able to use it in the same manner for their transactions.

I have used the notosplus Visa card to shop in interest-free instalments. What will happen to the pending instalments?

As soon as you activate the Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard, the pending interest-free instalments on your notosplus Visa will start being charged to your new card each month, as usual. 

I have chosen direct debit to pay off the notosplus Visa card from my bank account each month. Does this setting apply to the new Alpha Bank Bonus Mastercard I have received?

Yes. If you wish, you can change the direct debit setting from your computer through myAlpha Web.

I participate in the Alpha Bank Credit Protection or Alpha Credit Protection Plus insurance plan. Will these still be in force with my new Mastercard?

Yes.

Move the slider to see your points and view all the offers you may find interesting. Alternatively, you can use the filters to narrow your search.
