This was precisely my point. As soon as people started using Apple/Google Pay the chance of a retailer/cashier commenting on your card colour crashed through the floor and Monzo lost brand awareness.

Additionally, one of the main bits of brand awareness is that whenever you queue up anywhere in London you see the flash of hot coral from the people in front. Again with NFC you won’t really see this.

Google/Apply Pay has had a much stronger negative effect on Monzo’s brand awareness than Monzo Plus ever will.

I’ve not experienced this.

Is this Monzo flirting :heart_eyes:

I’ve never read a more embarrassing sentence on the internet. I’m not sure if that say more about the sentence, or my internet usage.

Maybe, although not intentional…Bit true also though.

That said, i’ve just read the blog on interest so you might have been usurped.

Unless they’re paying with Apple Pay on their Apple Watch. Because you have to turn your wrist over to make contact, cashiers or bar staff can see the hot coral colour very clearly. I had a comment just a couple of days ago “Ah, it’s one of those!” - but I’m sure I wouldn’t have, had my card had been one of the other Plus colours or metal.

There’s probably something wrong with me but hey… I really love Android (Google) Pay and used to use it all the time, but since I got Monzo, I prefer to pay with the Hot Coral physical card, even though it’s less secure, less convenient etc.

My Monzo Plus subscription fee is due tomorrow, but it’s not showing as an upcoming payment. It’d be nice to see it like other regular payments…

If there’s something wrong with you then it’s also wrong with me because I prefer to use my Monzo card too!

Same here, Monzo Plus isn’t available in the settings either even though I signed up a day after it was released ! Any news about that ?

Which scarily means it’s been over a month now and still all there is to show for people’s hard earned money is a (in many cases very poor quality) plastic card in a shade of blue. Let’s hope before the next fee comes out the offer has improved somehow, even if only marginally.

Yes, very true. At least the travel insurance has improved significantly and they’re working on metal cards. So there’s progress, although not a lot just yet

I can see the white getting dirty much quicker

But try a hot coral or find a way!

954

I’m sure there has been loads of progress. What you mean is none that we’re aware of :wink:

Hopefully we should be due an update soon. Not sure how long it has been since the last one? :thinking:

It may be worth Monzo posting a photo of the Hot Coral card they printed and seeing what the community thinks of it. Might give them something to go on when developing it further and trying again if people like the prototype and want to see it rolled out.

When people signed up they were told it might be a while, which is why the price is reduced for early adopters

Precisely the reason why I never personally buy into the first generation of anything. Cars, watches, financial products, I’m more than happy for early adopters to take any shortcomings on the chin first and when the issues have been ironed out, I’ll stick my wallet in.
