Is there a way to get Premium without the metal vanity card? I’m really not bothered about the look and feel of a debit card, I’d rather pay a cheaper monthly fee and just have a normal plastic card.

No

You have the option to not order a metal card, but the cost is the same.

Nope. They’ll presumably announce them as they get added.

Thanks very much :+1:

I thought that may be the case - although I don’t really understand why some are there now and some not. I’d have thought that it would be fairly similar to add, say, Virgin Money / Clydesdale as it is to add all the LBG brands. I don’t fully get the whole open banking thing though so sure there’s a reason!

I presume if you don’t order the card, you can’t benefit from the Lounge access element.

777

They did say you can enroll into the app to have QR codes for the lounge access? That should workw ithout the card.

778

I recall someone saying that you didn’t need to carry your metal card when traveling, you could use the app instead. I can understand this.

However, would the LoungeKey app actually let you register a card with the ‘wrong’ BIN number (that which is not a metal card)?

Somehow, I doubt it.

779

I presume they’d use the new BIN on the old cards? :thinking:

Question :thinking:
If I wish to upgrade to Premium but do not wish to have just yet the metal card. Then say in 3 months I do want the metal card, I presume I just ‘order’ one at no cost. Since I did not order one at the beginning?. :thinking: Thank you :v:

781

You can order it but not activate it until you want to use it.

I can’t see what difference it would make tbh now or 3 months time.

Its unlikely you could just change your mind and order at a later date.

Ta! :ok_hand:

So Monzo Metal doesn’t work at Morrison’s pay at pump fuel stations. Tried the metal card three times. Says kiosk only. Popped in my plastic joint card and it worked straight away. Same thing happened at Asda. Little disappointed and a pain in the bum!

Good to know. I was concerned about where the pain was felt.

Did it not mark the card in any way? :sweat_smile:

Possibly email acceptance@monzo.com they may be able to do some magic :yum:

That’s right, when you sign up to Monzo Premium you get one free metal card order. :+1: You can order it when you sign up, or later on; your choice!

Hope the card was warmed up first.
