It is fragment, some merchants block credit cards, and some some credit card providers block certain merchants.

Unsure where to post this as it isn’t a bug with the app.
Tried to buy a TV from Samsung.com with my monzo flex virtual card details, it didn’t go through and the Samsung website gave me an error saying unable to take the payment. I regenerated a new virtual card and tried again but still didn’t go through. Nothing showed in the app.
Ended up paying with my normal monzo card and then flexing the payment from the feed.
Any info on whether or not being able to pay flex monthly payment via direct debit from another account is in the pipeline?
if not this is something i’d like to see and would make flex perfect imo
I’m not sure tbh 
I would’ve thought you could just go to the individual transactions and categorise them - i’m not that clued up on any nuances around categorisation I’m afraid.

Are you a Plus member?
Or free?
If you head to Flex in Trends, Spending, and tap the category you want to view transactions for, IE Eating Out, and the amend it to Holidays or whatever.

@garethlowrie when did you attempt this payment?
We are aware of an issue impacting a small proportion of payments on Flex cards but this should be fully resolved now.

For Flex notifications, is it possible if it could be changed? It is quite a lot of information in the notification every time I spend. “You’ve flexed £xxx, you will now pay xxxx in date” Would be nicer if it could be simplified to “You’ve spent or You’ve flexed £xxx” only. Just to simplify the notification a bit
I quite like the notification, it’s informative and explains clearly if a payment is due this pay day due or next.

I mean yeah I guess, but an option would also be nice as the notification goes off my screen

Hello! Sure this is in hand but the current guidance around Flex is that you cannot get a physical card, which is no longer the case of course

yeah i guess that’s fair if it’s their thought process. I don’t get paid into monzo but since having it i’ve been offered two limit increases 500-1500 now 1500-2450 but i’ve had flex for nearly 1.5 years now
Think the reality of it is though if flex is moving towards more a credit card not everyone will use monzo as their main bank and wish to pay it via direct debit
Ah, I didn’t release why mine wasn’t neon! I actually quite prefer the neon-ness!
This isn’t the reason - it’s just a matter of prioritisation.

Successfully payment went through on my standard Monzo CA card at 22:01, so the flex virtual card attempts would have been between 21:45 and 22:00 on Sunday 14th May.

My Flex card arrived and I am soooo pleased
Can I please ask all you experienced community members what the maximum limit on flex is and for overdraft.
There are lots of different amounts everywhere I look

Although £2k is the current max on overdrafts.
