Nope they don’t work yet I tried on Sunday.

After posting that, I’ve literally, just now, got a current account preview invitation email in my inbox!

Kind of feel it’s my duty now, to go down to West Quay and then the Swan Centre to test it as soon as it’s set up.

Two of those (West Quay and Swan Centre) are really close to where I live - haven’t been offered a current account yet though! :wink:

Hope this works :pray: :joy_cat:

ASDA pay at pump was working a while back, I’ve got a transaction there on the 23rd August which went through fine on a 1st gen card.

Success with a vending machine. Paid with contactless. v2 card.

Vending machine was in Cabot Circus car park in Bristol

It’s taking some time, maybe you are on a blacklist as I’m sure I have seen you post a few times that you meet all the criteria :joy:

T-shirt arrived, thanks @anon50039658!

Congratulations :tada: - @anon50039658 When will you be validating others payments who have contributed to the list and are good to email you (I contributed West Quay multi-storey car park)? Thanks!

So my T-shirt arrived which is great thank you. However it’s labelled as a medium and fits like an extra small :man_shrugging:t2:

At first I thought it was possibly the women’s version :joy: but the neckline is different on those. Any chance of another @anon50039658 ? Happy to send this one back if needed but it’s definitely not Medium :thinking:

I got my debit card today so I thought I’d try and validate the post office withdrawal. It said that my card wasn’t accepted but nothing came up on the app for it.
I did take a picture… you can see part of my name on the card so you know it’s a debit card, not prepaid… although you can’t see it was a post office terminal

I was unaware that Monzo had entered into a contract with the Post Office yet. Not having paid for a contract with them you would be unable to use their banking services at their counter, though like any debit card you can still use for purchase of services like stamps etc

Doesn’t look like it’s full on banking? Just the ability to do what is essentially cashback but without a purchase :slight_smile:

Card declined in Post Office ePOS terminal with message: NOT ACCEPTED

So uhh, good news!

The shirts run small, so get a size larger than you think you need!
