Bring back Metal Cards

Even if it’s at cost, they looked great and they really add to the experience of having the higher plans.

Not happening.

You’re not the real revels :eyes:

They’d have said “Never going to happen”

On a more helpful point. While I agree the metal card was possibly the nicest card Monzo ever did, it was expensive to make and not all that practical in reality.

That’s only because the bank passes it on. Even if they don’t, there’s no increased cost unless you pull out of a contract early.

They don’t.

You’d be the first in line if Monzo offered one :rofl:

I mean… most folk don’t regularly lose their cards, it’s a less likely cost to have to consider.

I had my metal card replaced twice at no cost.

I like metal cards, I think Monzo’s was ugly. I prefer them if they had longer expiry dates as they should last much longer. I don’t care about increased costs because I’m not regularly losing my card.

I genuinely think you’d be all over them if Monzo brought them back out.

There are more reasons that the cool factor, though that is a major factor to many.

I’ve never really understood why people who don’t want one are so against it, rather than just…. not getting one.

Why does it matter? Nobody needs to explain their like of a particular product to justify it.

Well this post grew legs!

That’s fair. I was being mostly tongue in cheek with my response.

I dunno. The premium card was so nice even after I moved away from Monzo I’m not ashamed to say I still carried it around for a bit. And, it was definitely a pull factor to premium for me. That card was one of the nicest Monzo offered.

I think there was one example of this happening. I never had this issue personally. A more risky issue was the card being scratched.

I never really understood why Monzo didn’t just offer this as an option for those that wanted it. It surely must be better for the environment to have one card which is produced and used for a number of years over a plastic card which degrades and needs replacing.

I’ve had a Santander current account since it was Abbey National and haven’t had a debit card for years.

They sent me a letter telling me that my debit card was about to expire but as I hadn’t used it they I’d have to make a request if I wanted one.

I personally would like to have Metal Cards back but that just because I like them

I’ve seen ATMs abroad that have contactless readers on them, wish the UK would adopt that.

Generally I never need cash and only ever take my phone out with me, but I did get caught out the other day when a pubs card readers went down after I’d ordered a pint.

Fortunately I have a NatWest account and there was a NatWest down the street so crisis was averted.

Nope.

Bank of Scotland have done the same with my account there - there’s no option to add it to Google Pay either.

Did you find out you couldn’t pay before or after they’d poured it? :smiley:

I took a few sips while they were making my wife’s drink, then I found out!

They make these fees tenfold when you spend. It’s a minor cost, could even say zero with other ways they make money. The dent in their finances couldn’t have been significant.

That phone line would ring constantly til they got their card :sweat_smile:

I admittedly loved my monzo premium card, but I lost it once and had to go to standard as they no longer offered them :pensive_face: and then my lost card arrived in the post with my driving licence next day (alcohol to blame).

The white in the monzo app made it feel different, I am not a fan of the coral colour. It’s petty but it’s part the reason I don’t use them any more.

If they give me a :disco: again I’ll be back tomorrow.

I do also like my revolut gold and space grey cards, very smart looking and people generally get curious when I tap it.

Never had any card get stuck in an ATM.

This could also work.

I never use my card these days, but as I keep saying on here. If there was a Hot Coral metal card, I’d use it :heart_eyes:

Or even the limited edition summer ones in metal would be cool!

A metal hot coral card would be the worst option
