I think so! I don’t see why we wouldn’t. It would be cool to see how many people used the offer compared to regular golden tickets. Speaking personally, I know about 6-7 people that told me they used my referral link. And that’s pretty high considering damn near everyone I know already had an account before that
I would guess they would be very happy with 10% of a billion
- Its the same for all banks figures I suppose the likes of revolut with 3 (?) million users, how many are “active” users , how do you classify “active” - I would suspect none on revolut have their salaries paid in, are they not then classed as “proper” customers ? Starling have how many “active” customers ? , because Ive opened the Starling app in the last week am I then classed as an “active” Starling user ?
nobody is claiming they have a billion though
any idea how many European users is " quite a few "
are Revolut making money ?
Hasn’t Revolut just raised again ?
any idea how much they’re making ?
Here’s their latest stats:
Is it really that bad? I can’t think of a single bank I have used that hasn’t sent me marketing that I haven’t asked for. They all do it, but I just see marketing and chuck it straight in the bin. Not think, time to switch banks! Lol seems like a slight over reaction to me, but everyone’s different I guess.
Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t make it right.
I think doing marketing on the basis of legitimate interest rather than consent is problematic to start with, but then not having granular control is even worse - lots of banks now have this. I can turn off marketing on the Natwest app, for example.
Push notifications turned off as a result of this!
Kinda defeats the point for me in having Monzo if I don’t know when/where my card has been used.
Was replying to @anon54358022 . If I turn notifications off as they suggest I lose one of the biggest draws for me in Monzo.
I think the point is we shouldnt have to choose one or the other
Heres to hoping after this backlash theyll rethink this form of bombardment marketing with their own customer base
Just need a marketing toggle in our profiles somewhere.
Click
Problem gone.
My concern would be how much time it takes. As I think the toggle should be in place before the next ad campaign.
I think this has been a fairly negative reaction. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is tasked with it first full week back.
This campaign has annoyed me too due to it feeling “excessive”. I wonder if it falls into the FCA’s Treating Customers Fairly rules. If this was a lending promotion, could so many channels be used to target a message to a customer?
That is a little extreme. You honestly feel you have been treated unfairly?
I agree the number of communications has been a couple too many I would say but that seems a little over the top to compare it to be treating unfairly.
Relevant:
A marketing toggle introduced to the (Android) app so those of you above feeling a lot more strongly than I about this will have easier options than before
The thing is I would to test what it blocks and what it doesn’t ( for context none of the stuff Monzo has done bothered me at all)
I would want the newsletter and info on crowdfunding, just not notifications to ask me to notify people I know of anything.
Marketing toggle now added to the latest iOS TestFlight build too. Great to see that feedback is being taken on board so quickly.
