Monzo Plus: Holographic Card discussion

I didn’t say its an issue but if you’re trying to pitch the idea and get people to support it you’ve got to explain it better than this.

So you want it more prominent on the card is what you’re now saying? Everywhere else if fine. OK. So what benefit would it provide having it more prominent on the card?

Do you get discount in places for being an investor?
Any special privileges etc? Or is it purely for bragging rights?

Bragging rights - would have been amazing if the investor or the word plus was transparent throughout the card

It’s not an issue at all you’re just not explaining it very well. The way it works on here is that you suggest something, it gets discussed and you try and get people to support your idea. Get enough votes and Monzo may consider it.

You’re at step one and for some reason want to shut down any discussion around it. So you’re not helping yourself. If someone questions your idea or doesn’t see any benefit in it, that doesn’t make them “grumpy”.

Explain what? The investor badge would be nice at the front of the card as it always has been. What else do I need to explain? lol. Its literally just an observation. You’ve proceeded and asked for a 5 point answer on why it should be on the front? And lastly I’ve not shut anyone down.

Well it gives the card a small reality distortion field reminding me I’ve invested in this company and I should feel warm and fuzzy about them and they can do no wrong. When the card isn’t in my pocket I start to think bad thoughts though like “don’t virtual cards actually benefit monzo’s fraud dept more than they benefit me?” but I suppress them.

Also an investor card lets you into the Monzo secret society events. You have had the invite, right? Always good fun, although this month’s costume is a bit tight and not very breathable.

I think you might be reading a bit too much into what I’m saying. Remember not to judge tone in messages :+1:

I was simply curious as to whether there was any benefits and gave some examples. I don’t know how things work in major cities as I live rural. However you seem to have taken my questions as a personal attack for some reason which they aren’t at all.

If you just want it there because the old card did (which isn’t what you originally said) then I don’t agree. I prefer this much cleaner minamlist design where everything is on the back :slight_smile:

Anyone keen on the idea of being able to choose your card colour, like the colour palette that’s available when you create a virtual card?

Not for a physical card, for me personally.

Info on the back is a better idea from a security standpoint too as it’s harder for the number info to be read by someone or something dodgy

The card isn’t as much of a fingerprint magnet as I was expecting.

I hope it doesn’t wear as quickly as the old plus cards. I recall putting it in a cash machine and it came out with track marks all over it :sob:

Then why does it matter that it’s on the back?

If it’s only for you to see, then you can see it whichever side of the card it’s on?

And it would save them having to replace everyone’s that turns up opened!

If you really needed to see your card number you could get it from the app. Shame they never thought of this as a minimalist approach

To be honest I think I’d find the inconvenience of no details more annoying than how much I like the aesthetics.

I’m the king of being lazy so having to get my phone out to do card details just isn’t something I want. I don’t spend often looking at the back of my card anyway, and it’s way nicer to see than the embossing.

There’s so many times I’ll use paypal just because my wallet is more than arms reach away so… I don’t need more reasons to complicate things :wink:

I hope the upcoming metal cards if they’re still doing them have nothing at all on just the word Monzo and my name along with the chip&pin

Ah true, I’ve nothing against having the details in app - that’s absolutely useful. But I’m not ready for no details on the card yet!

Definitely. I was quite attached to hot coral so would have preferred a nice new premium card that’s still hot coral. The blue card actually made me consider not signing up for Monzo Plus

I’m waiting for the super exclusive and limited edition of the Monzo Plus card that says “I have an overdraft” writing at the back.
