I am so so excited for custom categories. Cannot believe it has taken so long but hope it is getting very close

CoP perhaps?
Iām wondering if the new stuff weāre seeing in the tear down will all be behind the new Plus pay wall?

Yep wouldnāt get your hopes up around custom categories unless youāre planning on paying for plus. I feel like weād have had an announcement around the building this by now if it was going to be free.

Yeah unfortunately it just seems too coincidental for it to be offered on monzo basic which is a real shame.
I think my hope will have to turn to starling to then come along and provide this as free in order to sneak away customers.
But lets see, all subjective at the moment

I just want virtual cards, and I am crossing my fingers very hard that it will be possible to attach them to potsš I am existing plus subscriber and I will switch to monzo premium as well.

I totally agree. And sadly, as long as it isnāt more than Ā£5 a month, I will probably pay just for custom categories.
Itās still utter BS as far as Iām concerned given the incredibly limited selection, and that you cannot manage your money properly without. But there you go 
Iād probably bite at Ā£4.99/5 a month. New card, larger foreign ATM withdrawals, additional app features like virtual cards and some sort of small perk/cashback thing/offers scheme. I would expect a roadmap of intended āpremiumā app features planned for development too. I think a robust budgeting feature would be fantastic.
Canāt say Iām particularly interested in a higher āmetalā tier. Iād consider the Gourmet Society a small perk. Simply because itās more of a marketing tool for chain restaurants than anything. I actually expect Monzo to launch their own offer scheme eventually, using GS as a quick prefab thing.
Anyway, weāll soon see and I canāt say Iāll be that bothered of if not interested. It obviously wonāt be for everyone and itāll probably get more desirable as time goes on.
Not sure if right place to ask but does anyone know when theres going to be a update when the premium account annoucement is going to come ?
