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
Iâm sure when the metal card comes out youâll be able to upgrade your package. Itâll 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 youâve invested, even in a dark bar. If they donât get partial blindness itâs not powerful enough.

Metal cards - I was the same until I saw one âŚthen it did look and feel very âpremiumâ, would I pay for one âŚhmmmm dependent on the price âŚI probably would, cant really think why Monzo didnt use hot coral holographic for the plus account âŚthats the brand isnât 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.
Itâs got the rigidity of those cardboard store vouchers. Better than paper and wonât rip but I definitely wouldnât go as far as saying âplusâ. My old blue plus card (coral middle) is definitely more robust from flexing them in my hand.

Itâs also a white card underneath, Iâm not sure how long it will remain premium looking, if it was a blue (or hot coral) core Iâd 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 Iâm 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 wasnât for the fact that even 1 share means you can get an investor card

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

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?

Iâm an early adopter and investor. I donât want âInvestorâ printed on my card.
Too ostentatious for my liking.

Iâve never had someone say âoohhh youâre an investorâ or question it in any way. What do you mean by recognised?

Not understanding what people see in something is much milder than âhaving an issueâ.
Letâs 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 âinvestorâ on the card and highlighting it in other areas. I like this as do many other customers.

It is on the card, on the forum and in app. What more do you want? I donât understand the point youâre trying to make - sorry 
The idea of having âinvestorâ on the card, app, forum etc is for the customer/investor themselves. I do not think its for other people to recognise. Why is that an issue for you that i like that?
