Is this a new security feature.
Card 6 months old.
And I pay how much for this?

Depends what plan you’re on, but effectively £0.00 cost.

Just order a replacement due to poor quality.

This gave me a good chuckle, but as Carlo said the replacement will essentially be free as its a quality control issue.

On Max plan but it’s a bit of a poor show.
Never had this problem with all the other Monzo cards.
Just pointing out a quality issue.

The quality of Monzo cards has always been subpar

People are always asking for plain cards with no numbers. You’re almost there :sunglasses:

If all physical cards moved to ApplePay or GWallet then they would become obsolete. It’s got to happen one day.

Gonna be a while before that happens, quite a few people still prefer a physical card

What did you do with the others, vacuum seal them? Monzo has always been crap for card quality, you can likely get this replaced for free

Maybe. But think of all the plastic that won’t be used. Everything goes digital eventually.

I thought Monzo used rPVC in making the cards thet do keep going on about being green.

Funny thing is I checked my other cards and they all have a clear plastic covering to stop said abrasion. That’s what normally goes on my cards as it starts to peel back.
I prefer cards and use the phone as a back up. The quicker they can embed the rfid under the skin the better. :wink:

Sometimes you need to know your card number without having your phone or logging in!

I’m very much the same, there’s no reason a place can’t take card unless it’s tax purposes (each opinion to their own, and I know it’s not always the case).

If somewhere doesn’t take cash they don’t get my business
. Because I don’t carry cash :joy::joy::joy:

This is valid, but I wouldn’t go get cash to shop there either.

Cash is not king.

I too don’t shop there if they force cash only.

Im not going far out of my way to find a working cash machine, that also sometimes charges, to withdraw more than I need, to then get complained at because they stuggle to give change with notes.

If it’s expensive to process card payments, you’re with the wrong card processing company

Exactly the same here. The auction house near me has one of those cheesy “support cash, cash only” signs that’s several paragraphs long.

When I win anything online, and go to collect and pay, they end up allowing me to bank transfer instead for this reason. I know im not the only one, so I wonder how much longer they’ll keep their massive cash only sign up :sweat_smile:

What’s that?

My local coffee shop has just done the complete opposite and gone card only after being broken into 3 times in the span of 2 months last year!

I was surprised at how many people were complaining about them not accepting cash saying they “have to, its legal tender” :sweat_smile:
