Am I right in thinking that sometimes stuff just gets turned on server side for everyone on the same day? And so we don’t always get new things on TestFlight first?
Assuming this is big enough it will gets its own blog post and twitter announcement etc. and so wondering if we won’t get early to TF.
Just depends on how phased they want the rollout.
If they release the feature with the aim of everyone being moved over within a week or two then they generally give it to testflight users early as a part of that for initial testing
If they intend on a slower roll out that includes slowly ramping up the % users they generally keep it behind server switches and ignore tesflight/beta user status

We have a range of strategies for rolling out features - the strategy we go for depends on a few different areas.
The feature alluded to in this thread will use a combination of the first two, in order to identify bugs with a wider group, and then make sure that the systems can handle the load of 4+ million people.
In practically every case the rollout for each feature is controlled on the server side so we can closely monitor the success of the rollout, and make changes quickly without having to do another app release.
When is ETA for rollout? 
True!! If Monzo said next week - I always add on another 13 weeks - based on the current algorithm and previous feature launches - that realistic!! 
I am simultaneously really appreciating your posts with extra info Kieran and dying at the extended tease.
Can’t wait to try it out (hopefully) soon 
At this point, anything less than a feature that auto-orders a pizza when you’ve had a tough day remote working will be a great disappointment.
Knowing my luck it’ll be that, but locked to Hawaiian pizzas only. 
Hawaiian is the free tier, anything else you need Monzo Plus.
Oh no, I knew something this controversial would cause a schism in the Monzo community.
Make mine a none pizza with left beef.
Mods, this post right here.
I’ve never wanted the Block User thing more.
Speaking more broadly we are working as quickly and diligently as we possibly can to ship a lot of new stuff. We don’t have a public timeline but I know everyone will be really pleased when it’s ready.
So will we (speaking on behalf of myself and probably a fair few ‘public’ too)
Top marks for whipping up the anticipation 
- it’s been lacking around here for a while!
How many of those will be part of the new Plus and how many will be for all customers?
I’m predicting that the next iteration of ‘Plus’ will be announced or coming out in the next few weeks now that we are seeing restrictions being lifted with lockdown and travel. Hopefully this new feature will have its own announcement so it’s not drowned out by the discussion of the paid accounts.
In today’s Wired article ‘Blomfield prides himself on being candid, and seems to have trouble keeping secrets to himself. Within minutes of saying hello, he almost flashes the company’s yet-to-be-launched metal card, stopping himself from opening his wallet with an awkward gulp. The white card (which manufacturers found impossible to paint coral because the colour rubbed off, according to a source close to the bank), is being trialled by a select number of users as part of Monzo’s latest attempt at a new premium package.’
Was wondering who the ‘select number of users’ were?
Staff afaik
It’s staff. They’ve had it for quite a while now
