But surely not āeveryone they knowā will have actually opened a Monzo account (if they have, these people are amazing salespeople!). How often does it happen you recommend something to your friends and they ALL do it?

Recommend and moved are not same thing.
If all these people moaning are so desperate theyāll find two people.

āso there will be plenty of people who are unable to get anyone else to move to Monzo.ā
Well this is all very fun to watch.

I was fortunate to know about these prior to launch with a handful of other people.
Never did I think they would be given out for free at (what I imagine) would be a huge cost to Monzo. There was always going to be some strings attached, be it this refer a friend bit or a fee to pay.
I think itās pretty reasonable to ask for 2 friends.
What is even more commendable is that theyāre giving a whole load of these completely free to us guys without needing to refer anyone.

Really sucks about how it appears to work for premium members, we shouldnāt have to pay Ā£50 for a new metal card when the neon expire in my opinionā¦. Thatās me not choosing to get the neon card, but we probably arenāt the target audience here as community members this promo will incentivise new or more passive customers to refer I guess ā¦. If the colours ever make their way to metal or the rules change re getting a new metal once expiredā¦ Iām in !

Are you still sending our batches of notifications? What if the notification is dismissed, can it be accessed again from somewhere in the app? Still havenāt got one.
Donāt worry I still havenāt got my notification, I donāt think anyone else has either

I havenāt either. Iām hoping we get them soon, and delivery is quick. I would LOVE to get my new card before I go on holiday VERY soon!
I think these folks are the ones theyāve tried to capture with the community gesture, which was an amazing thing to do btw.
I can understand the tilt tho, not everyone who has done that will use these forums. And I think the idea of having to pester and refer people just puts them off. Itās not quite the same when itās not organic. It starts to feel MLM, and folks donāt really like that.
In my group of friends, almost all the time. Weāre tech loving early adopters of all sorts! If one person finds a cool new thing and loves it, the rest of us try it too (although Iām still not signing up for a tiktok account). I think itās because we donāt really recommend things or refer, or pester. We just share things we like.

Iām going for GREEN!
I canāt decide between green and yellow but Iām holding out deciding until I know if they are embossed or blank on the front.

I do like the green one!
Yellow!
Thatās what Iād get. Iāll be keeping my plus one though. Itās still my favourite.
Lewis youāve been smashing it with these!
@N26throwaway I was TeamGreen but the yellow has started to sway me.

Iām definitely getting one. I donāt care about embossing, but I do care about having to update places where I have my card number storedā¦ did the āauto-tell the vendorsā thing come online in the end, or do we have to do it all manually still?
Sorry if I misunderstood the leadup yesterday but I thought the words ānew featureā were used with regards to the announcement.
Card isnāt of interest to me, Iām happy with the one I have, but I was quite looking forward to some new feature(s)? I may have misunderstood.

For vendors that support it, yes this works. I think thereās a wiki for it somewhere with a list of those who do.
This is the sort of thing keeping me on plus though, the virtual cards, keeps my online numbers totally separate from the physical card.
Edit: not a wiki, but I think Iām thinking of this:
