Morning all,
I opened my account last week and after selecting the ‘Extra’ card I then upgraded to the ‘Perks’ card within a few minutes. Now both cards have been delivered. Does it make a difference with regards to which one I activate?
Thanks,
Andrew
The app should be requesting you add the latest, so Perks.
Thanks for the reply…
Would it make a difference if I activate the ‘Extra’? I my have mixed them up and used the wrong one.
It may not allow you to activate the older card.
Perks is a different colour to your standard monzo/extra card.
Update…
Hi Carlos,
I had two bright orange cards delivered on the same day. In too much of a hurry, I activated the ‘Extra’ and not the ‘Perks’ card. Just tried a contactless payment and it was declined. I’m assuming Monzo rightfully declined this as they would be expecting the ‘Perks’ card to be activated. I’ll rectify this later today.

Did you try chip and pin?
Hi, thought of that last night. I’ll try it today. Thanks.
If you’ve been able to activate the card in the app then it should work
