Hi,
I do personally really like Monzo as a spending money bank account (I use Nationwide for Bills and keeping most of my PIP).
I subscribed to Monzo Plus in December, and I am aware that there’s a cancellation fee of £5. However, will cancelling also cancel the Hot Coral Card? Sorry for the silly question, the app states my query Weirdly.
If you haven’t ordered a holo card, then I think your old hot coral card should just carry on working.
If you’re still uncertain ask in the app (start a new chat).

No, you’ll be fine (I’ve done it).
If you’d ordered the holo card, cancelling Plus would cancel that and order you a new hot coral.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The app words it a little strangely to make you not unsubscribe.
I didn’t see the point keeping the subscription because it actually just isn’t worth what I paid when I hardly use the features.
Thanks though. I’ll still ask Monzo support just to be sure as I don’t want my current debit cancelled.

No I’ve just cancelled Plus. And it let me keep my yellow card which I was happy about.

Last summer Monzo did a promo of neon cards, one of which was yellow

Oh yeah, I remember that. I hadn’t referred anyone sadly.
I’ll wait until the 3 month period runs out and then cancel.

You can cancel sooner by the way. The card will keep working

There’s a £5 termination fee during the 3 month period.
Isn’t that only if you take the card? Or am I misremembering?

If you cancel you get a £5 refund also so to cancel on the day costs £5 but instantly refunds £5. That’s what happened for me anyway

Yeah I just cancelled the service and my debit card was not frozen because it was a hot coral card.
Also got a £3.93 refund plus my interest rate for February of 14p. So in total I got £4.07 back.
The refund is calculated on the days of the month until your next renewal.

If I order the holographic card and cancel plus after two months does it make me go back to the coral one?

Strictly speaking no. At least in my experience. But you will be left with a banner telling you to order a new a new card each time

Oh sorry, my bad.
So if you cancel and ignore the banner you can just use the holo card indefinitely?

In my case yes but I would say this is likely not intended behaviour so the advice you gave is likely more beneficial.
