Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

It’s similar to the Monzo Flex card, but it has 0 FX fees and S75 protection

forgot to add that it has a 2.99 monthly fee

did you ask for a new card, or was this just sent to you?

Nope, just automatically had a new debit card notification in the app after getting a ‘your account change is complete’ email from them. Complete waste of plastic except for the longer expiry date.

Strange. I kept my original card when I converted my account.

What did you upgrade to?

Premier Reward, via the online form (and has been working as such for a while with £10 back each month), but since speaking to the Premier team yesterday it seems I can now class myself as semi-er, as it looks like a Friday afternoon rush job on my upgrade has given me grey area status. I do properly qualify so will look forward to seeing what they say on callback, but unlikely to have any sort of case for a spot of compo

Replacement card just arrived in the new non-embossed style! Unlike the first few people here who’ve had it, I’m not a Plus customer and it wasn’t a downgrade, just replacing an existing coral card. Seems like they’re starting to roll it out to more people now.

I don’t think I particularly like this card anymore. It just looks so boring, which is much more noticeable with the information no longer on the front. Yes, the colour is bright but that isn’t interesting to me anymore. The colours on the Mastercard logo don’t look right either.

Nicer than Santander :joy:

Personally really like the Santander design. The red looks like, the dots are more interesting than a plain background, and the Mastercard logo looks correct.

I’m a “minimal can look nice but can also look really boring and dull”

As with this, it’s too extra. Two shades would have been better. Eyes don’t enjoy.

I’ll take plain and boring over a picture bridge with a bad logo over it.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on this. As I’ve said many times, I think Santander is my favourite :smiley:

Here’s my Barclaycard. I do like the colour of it but the design just seems so boring

I like Santander’s a lot. At least the few folk I’ve shown it to like it as well.

I also just applied for this card, excellent quality and a good one for my collection too!

How the stack is looking now. Monzo joint is not often touched so may get the chop.
