On a lighter note, my kitten likes the blue.
I managed to request monzo.me/1
And lastly the app looks good all in matching blue.
Let’s just see where monzo plus grows to…
how long can one has to wait
I don’t know is the short answer 
We’re enabling sign up for more users over the coming weeks, and the list gives us a handy way to remind people who have registered interest that it’s available for them.
Joining the waitlist won’t automatically subscribe you (this has been a question we’ve had a few times).

im on wait list , but could you tell me if youll be offering sign up on joint acc pls
Still for someone like me who changes less than £1000 a year, it makes sense to stick with first direct. Plus their overdraft is cheaper too, which I use more than I should. I really don’t want to knock monzo, but I hope their plus account will offer more in the way of value in the future.
Monzo Plus is not currently available for joint accounts - I don’t know what the plan is for this sorry 
In my opinion, I think we should focus on building on the core offering and extras to maximise value. When we have something solid for individuals, it’ll be a good base to understand how we should price and approach a similar offering for joint accounts.
I say this^ as someone who would rather spend longer shipping a feature with joint account support in mind from the beginning.

Monzo+ aside, first direct are offering a bad deal on foreign ATM withdrawals. Starling, Monzo, and others are free/cheaper, and I’m surprised that this is listed as a benefit of their premium account.
(but I totes get that it’s easier to see value in their premium offering vs Monzo+, and agree with the sentiment that Monzo could do better here)

thanks for your feedback, id have loved to be part of the growth in Monzo Plus, but we only use our joint account - so pointless to join as it would be money down the drain.
My Nationwide packaged account is £13 for single or joint & the whole family benefits

This is possible without using Monzo Plus as cards aren’t activated until you activate them in the app …

I think that’s fair. As Jonas said, we’d like people to sign up because of what we’re offering at the time they sign up, not what they think is coming.
That said, I’m confident that it’ll become more appealing to customers as we continue to work on it

@BethS, thank you for your reply. Do you mean that this is already possible? My understanding was that it wasn’t with the current account (though was easy with prepaid cards, since they could be handed out without requiring personalisation such as account holder name and account number)
Wow, it says your full name on Android. On iOS it doesn’t show the name. Hmmm interesting
It just matches the card for me

I love the idea of Monzo Plus myself but it doesn’t appeal to me either.
I like my URL. I like the card colour. Also I like my card number 
I don’t travel outside of the UK.
I’m also waiting to see what’s next

Do you think they will be able to squeeze my full name into the Monzo Plus Card : Ramadevan Ramachandaran. What’s the word limit on the card .
No 
22 characters is the limit including spaces
Oh damn. It’s 23 on mine. Noooooo
Just a thought on the Waitlist signup process. Once you’ve signed up to the waiting list in app, you get a confirmation screen which you then close. If you go back into the signup page, it’s possible to register again. I don’t know if this has pushed me back in the queue or not.
I’d expect once I’ve signed up, that page holds a message telling me I’ve done so, rather than letting me do it again.
Either way, looking forward to signing up for Plus.
p.s. if you want to enable the Plus flag for my account, I wouldn’t complain
