Literally can’t tell the difference except for “Monzo” is on the left not right, and the “Investor” wording has gone.
The “Plus” is basically not there. I like some of the tidying up: “MasterCard” gone, contactless symbol moved to back, thinner mag strip, smaller signature box, “M” symbol replaced with smaller “debit” word on the back. But most of these changes are to the back of the card. So from the front, you wouldn’t think it was anything special.
I agree. My CCV number is slightly visible on the front . I mean I don’t mind the plus writing being invisible , but I was expecting a better quality card for £3/month
I don’t mind donating £36 to Monzo. It isn’t for the card, I use Apple Pay 90% of the time.
But it’s still useful feedback, because eventually when Monzo Plus is out of it’s infancy, it’ll need to be worth the money with a card to match. And right now it isn’t!
At the moment you are donating £36 to support monzo to shape monzo plus as it should be . Right now, you are not paying the £36 for the service , you are donating it Monzo to support them , and help them shape the plus service how it should be. Unless of course you think that the plus card is worth £36.
I just want to start this post off by being clear; I’ve been very critical of Plus and it’s somewhat fractured beginnings.
I personally don’t have an issue with this though. People need to remember, just because you wouldn’t personally pay the fee, doesn’t mean others wouldn’t.
Monzo has helped a lot of people do a lot of things. With that in mind is £36 and a bit of faith an awful lot to stake against the chance that Plus might come through and deliver? I think not.
I think it’s important to remember that regardless of how you feel about the service, it’s important we aren’t critical of others right to choose what they do with their money, they earned it they can spend it. After all there’s plenty of worse ways to throw away £36.
I guess my main point is we should absolutely and constructively criticise the service and give good feedback on the offering, but not criticise those excited early adopters who have taken the plunge.
I just wanna make it clear , that I am on plus . And i paid the fee to support monzo because I like the direction they are heading to.
My plus card is not great, but I use Apple Pay most of the times anyway and I received cute stickers as well with the card
Yes I’m serious. I was one of the first few people to get Monzo, back when it was Mondo. The instant notifications and budgeting tools have helped me save up enough to buy a house and pay off all debts. I owe a lot to Monzo, I recommend Monzo to everyone, I invested in Monzo in 3 rounds of crowdfunding.
I don’t mind paying £36, to get a plus account and give feedback to help shape the future of plus.
And I got the same colour, because I thought that would be the best way to compare Plus and non Plus cards. Again, to give feedback. The card tends not to come out of my wallet anyway because of Apple Pay
This is getting a bit heated here Guys, everyone invests in things they want to. I personally don’t have money to burn, but I do believe that monzo plus will end up being a service worth paying for .
If you don’t agree, then don’t do it. Simples.
The point I’m making is that using Monzo has allowed me to save way more than £36. When I say “I owe them a lot”, I mean they’ve helped me save a lot, not that I need to put a cheque in the post for Tom.
People have always paid more, to be amongst the first to try something, to test and give feedback. Then later, everyone else pays less for a better product. Don’t know what you’re problem is
