If I remember correctly, at Investival they send it would be released by the end of Summer.
Which is just under a month away!

Yep! They mentioned in the forum as well - cannot remember if it was this thread or the plus thread.
Iād like to argue that British summer ends after bank holiday - so come on Monzo I expect a release next week
Astronomical summer goes on until the 23rd September

Did anyone who got the Metal sign up flow see a card other than the white one? Given the drama over Apple Card recently (and woes with Plus cards) I am ever so slightly concerned Monzo will roll a white card that might have the same issues.
I like the white one - looks cleaner. Plus like any card, itāll get worn overtime if used

Have you not seen the drama about apples card though?
Canāt put it in trouser pockets or with other cards and people that have tested say the white becomes dirty in less than a day
Yea I have, and that happens with any card - I have other cards from Lloyds, HSBC which are multi colours but because of times I have put them in a bag with other stuff - keys, trouser pockets where the denim stained the sides (because denim can stain) etc.
I now use a metal wallet, my card are fine - still get scratches when theyāre used in a machine but itās a card - it will get damaged no matter what type of cards they are. Heck Iāve even seen the black titanium amex card with scratches on it because of usages in card machines.
End of the day I like the white card that Monzo has pitched and will be bringing out (in which I will be getting), to be paranoid about a white card getting dirty is a bit silly imo
I think the issue with metal is
A. They are Ā£90 (estimate)
B. They are meant to be permanent
So getting a plastic one replaced is free and automatic every few years but metal isnāt

I agree the fee is a bit much - but we still donāt know what exactly theyāll offer the card for (so fingers crossed itāll be a bit lower) not have we heard if they will or will not bundle other features specifically with the metal card.
With card replacements - a metal card doesnāt mean its forever, the chips can still die/expire. Itās just how Monzo handles the renewal process of a card - if there will be fees or not.
One other note is that if Monzo is going to offer a subscription option for the card (plus any benefits that it comes with etc) then they need to put in a measure to stop people from paying the first month fee, then cancelling the subscription but still being able to use the metal card. I hope that they will also de-activate that card if someone cancels the subscription early and make them use their plastic cards instead, because for people who are actually willing to pay for the metal card (either in full or monthly) it wonāt be fair that someone is ācheaping outā on a product/service that is meant to be more premium.

So considering how many people in this thread were/are excited for metalā¦ Iām curious to know how many of you will be switching to the Supporter Bundle to be entered for a chance to win one. 
I didnāt predict this was how the metal rollout would begin, but here we are.

Iāll probably opt in to that bundle.
The main reason I have Plus is to support the company so why not! The metal card is just a āplusā

Please, please, pleaseā¦ for your sakeā¦ donāt think that Monzo is your friend or that you owe them anything. They are a bank trying to make a profit. Granted they offer useful budgeting tools but please donāt fall into the trap of thinking you owe them anything!

I will be cancelling my subscription entirely, in fact, Iāve just opened a chat in app to try and do that now. I wanted a metal card, but I donāt want one enough to support the farce that Monzo Plus has just become.
