My monzo plus card came today opened of course too. But first thoughts on it is it looks abit flimsy to me. Would be much better if it was metal. And the investors badge would be better at the front of the card and not hidden on the back of it. Overall maybe 4/10
Iām sure when the metal card comes out youāll be able to upgrade your package. Itāll probably cost a lot more though
Why do you want investor on the front? Why on the card at all? Never understood that

It should have a flashing beacon on both sides of the card so people can see youāve invested, even in a dark bar. If they donāt get partial blindness itās not powerful enough.

Metal cards - I was the same until I saw one ā¦then it did look and feel very āpremiumā, would I pay for one ā¦hmmmm dependent on the price ā¦I probably would, cant really think why Monzo didnt use hot coral holographic for the plus account ā¦thats the brand isnāt it ???

I suspect the idea is existing Monzo customers will notice the blue card and wonder what it is - perhaps cause them to look into Plus.

Cheap and flimsy were my first thoughts. I initially thought it was made of some kind of premium card.
Itās got the rigidity of those cardboard store vouchers. Better than paper and wonāt rip but I definitely wouldnāt go as far as saying āplusā. My old blue plus card (coral middle) is definitely more robust from flexing them in my hand.

Itās also a white card underneath, Iām not sure how long it will remain premium looking, if it was a blue (or hot coral) core Iād be much more happy with it.
I certainly prefer the removal of the embossed numbers though and quite like the design.

I think the new plus card is fine.
Considering I had to replace my previous plus card 4 times Iām not going to be critical of this one.

Why do people want a blue Monzo card with a hologram? Aesthetics and/or status.
It is one of the perks Monzo offered to people who invested. Just like a hologram blue card is a perk for those who invested in Plus.
Invested in plus? So people with a Netflix subscription have invested in Netflix?
The status thing might be true if it wasnāt for the fact that even 1 share means you can get an investor card

Coral doesnāt appeal to everyone. Colours also go out of style, as do variations of them. Gradients are making a comeback for instance, and blue is a very safe colour that is universally appealing and never goes out of style and can look just as striking as an outlandish colour when done right. Monzo did it right.

Little bit underwhelmed by the card overall. Plus there is a slight imperfection in the colouring which has the same effect on me as the minute scratch on the screen of my phone 
Must say though am mega impressed with delivery after one working day (ordered Thursday night, arrived Saturday morning).
Also just noticed Google pay has updated the number but is still the old design.
I removed mine from Apple Pay and added it back and the design updated 
There is some kind of text transfer on the back of my card and not a big fan of seeing the chip on the back but front being clean and flush and having no text or numbers is nice

Now thatās interesting. I had to shine my flashlight on the back of my card to properly notice it, but the same issue effects mine. Itās barely noticeable to the point that it had gone unnoticed until you highlighted it with your card and I got my flashlight out.
Edit: upon brightening my hue lights to 100%, the chip is rather prominent. There feels like a slight indent where the chip is located on the back too. Not a major issue or worth returning the card for though.
People who invested in Monzo were early adopters and believed in the bank and therefore want to be recognised for it. Why is that an issue for you?

Iām an early adopter and investor. I donāt want āInvestorā printed on my card.
Too ostentatious for my liking.

Iāve never had someone say āoohhh youāre an investorā or question it in any way. What do you mean by recognised?

Not understanding what people see in something is much milder than āhaving an issueā.
Letās keep on the topic of the cards and out feeling about them rather than each other please.

Recognised in the sense that the bank is showing appreciation by having āinvestorā on the card and highlighting it in other areas. I like this as do many other customers.
