Hi,
The Monzo Plus card appears to be lower quality of my original Coral card (almost as if somebody printed over my coral card (mine is midnight sky but has orange edges). Is there a reason for this? Thanks.
All Monzo cards have a Coral core - this is deliberate.

Thatās fair, thanks.
It is also worth noting that the quality is also worse than the original coral card (as in I can even see the coral core around the chip).
The poor quality of some of the Plus cards has been covered several times in the main Monzo Plus thread.
Monzo have said you can request a replacement and send the old one back to them so they can identify the quality issues.
The coral edge though is deliberate

Itās a shame, My Beta card and my replacement debit have white core, they have held up pretty well!
When used with a Coral card, the Coral core complements this really well (this is what I have).
I have no personal experience with the Plus cards so canāt say how bad an impact the Coral core has on that (other than from photos folks have posted on the other topic). I donāt know if Monzo have plans to address this.
I understand the coral core being deliberate, thatās not the issue with mine though. you can see the CVC through the other side, it seems jaggered on the edges and it just doesnāt look as good?
I dont mind the coral edge, but Iād agree, the quality of the card is not what I would expect for a service that you pay for. On mine the numbers are already peeling after a few weeks and the clear plus is so hard to see it may as well not be there.
Kinda wish Iād not changes my Investor Hot coral card nowā¦

In that case Iād request a replacement from Monzo. There has been a bad batch of Plus cards reported but Monzo are fine with replacing them for you.

Iām fine with the hot coral investor one for now to be honestā¦
As Jim said, apart from the colour you canāt really see the word āplusā and I like having the word investor on mine 
Feel like they should have markings on them even if they are just icons to show investor, beta, plus etc just like on the profile page.

Think I saw that at least the investor option wasnāt coming. Iām proud of being one so would love my card to show it.
I had two, as I accidentally ordered the wrong colour. Both were not the best quality and I really think they could do With the plus element, you really canāt see it. I wouldāve preferred all white as an option.
The Plus Investor plastic cards are coming, I think metal may be a different case though.

Speak to them via the app and the COps team should be able to sort it.
I still think the cards were rushed to market a little to soon thoughā¦
Just wait for the metal card 
Yeh, the plus card is not the best quality, but last time I looked at it was when it arrivedā¦using apple pay all the time

My Plus card has arrived. It isnāt the best quality compared to my hot coral one. Iām not going to go on at them to replace it. No point, Iāll wait until they have more options.
Yep, I have. Itās been 24 hours, and the message I got was āescalated to a specialistā.
Kind of annoyed that for the past 5 days and probably the next 5/6 days Iāve basically been paying for a custom monzo.me link which I never use.
I mean, they do show you what is available now. You could cancel it within 14 days if youāre not happy with what youāre getting now?
They do? I didnāt see āpoor quality card with 2 days customer service turnaroundā on the Plus list of features.
