I’d like both.
Oh this is available nearby, but I’m going to Manchester next week and they have that, great!

Totally agree! Don’t hide offers from other places permanently, I might be going there!

What might be better than trying to guess locations is just a hide this offer option for each offer, so people can ignore things that don’t apply to them.
Hoping this pilot expands again soon!

I guess the issue is getting local retailers to participate in the scheme because I’m sure there is a fee to be a part of the program, in addition to the cashback it offers.
Honestly I don’t think people will ever be happy with this stuff. They never have been.

Totally true, it’s literally free money
I have no idea what you mean, they just want local offers that apply to them, not London offers, but also London offers for when they go there.
Simple really

Well they also want London offers for when they might shop online but only showing when they are actually going to shop online and not normally because that would be London centric.
I mean it’s not hard for Monzo to monitor and know when we are about to purchase online and show the right cashback

All this shows local offers are not the way to go.
How would it work anyway? We have a local shop nearby that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the country. Will Monzo contact our shop and make a cashback deal with them individually? Think not.
On the other hand, there are national chains that exist in many cities (but too far from e.g. myself to be called local), and also sell online. Should these selectively not be shown to people like me just because I don’t live close enough?
Showing only local offers makes no sense.
It won’t be one-off shops will it. It will be smaller chains that are local to an area, well known but not one in every high street.
It wasn’t long about people were complaining there wasn’t a Pret near them.
Monzo can’t win.

Someone mentioned postcodes and all of a sudden we’re trying to find the Holy Grail. Let’s see how the new location-based reward programme presents itself before we complain.

It’s money for your transactions and spending patterns. Big data is massive for these companies. It’s a bit like loyalty cards, although in this case, the data is meant to be sufficiently obsefcated to avoid identifying the individual.
Thanks for explaining the obvious, I was making a light joke.

I honestly don’t see my data as a cost to me, from what monzo explains I’m not fussed.
So it’s free money IMO. You view it how you want to view it.

I see I may have touched a nerve, not my intention at all.
I’ve worked for retail companies who have brought in loyalty card schemes, helped set them up and seen some of what they capture.
My reference to the money side was in reference to the maximum there are no free lunches.
Anyway, I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone.
Not at all, just a view from the other side.
Only an hour to go 
Do the new offers come at midnight or is it when someone presses the magic button?

Pretty much the same offers as last batch for me… disappointing. Hopefully they change tomorrow in the working hours

Yeah, disappointing. Hope it’s a blip, as I won’t use any again.
