My Monzo New Current Account Debit MasterCard doesn’t work at Costco Pay at Pump. Costco in Uk only accept Amex or debit cards so I would expect it to work. This would be a barrier to me using Monzo as my sole current account. Such a shame !
This is the response I received from Morrisons after asking their intentions regarding the current account card.
I bet their blacklist is updated much quicker, mind. Time will tell, so we shall see what happens in January! I hope they’re true to their word, my nearest Morrisons petrol station is literally 0.1 miles away.
I have a new CA Card and thought is was now possible to use these for offline transactions such as pay at pump but having tried several times I have not been successful the card is simply rejected
Is there a solution to this as I cannot switch to Monzo as my main account if stuff like this doesn’t work?
Should I deduce from this that pay @ pump should now be working? I gave up on it long ago (even with CA preview) and have been using my other current account.
Sorry I assumed they were offline as when I use a card from another account to doesn’t show the transaction in any way for a couple of days, it’s Morrisons pay @ pump if that helps
Morrisons has apparently acknowledged they’re blocking Monzo cards intentionally (by maintaining a whitelist of cards they allow and blocking everything not on it).
I’d suggest filing a complaint with Mastercard, given this behaviour appears to violate honour all cards (though they might argue they honour it, just not at the pump… that seems sketch to me): [edit - @RichardR has stated Monzo would prefer acceptance complaints about the Monzo card go to Monzo instead of to Mastercard, leaving the Mastercard link for reference/any issues you have with Mastercards from other banks]
FWIW, I tried using CA for Pay at pump at Chevron in Georgia USA yesterday. Wasn’t accepted (having input (Chip and) PIN, display stated ‘transaction cancelled’. Interestingly, same happened with Curve; a test transaction of $1 is pending on Curve, nothing on Monzo CA. Tried both cards as both debit and credit - same result. Monzo was also not accepted at the station EPOS via magstripe; ended up resorting to Amex, which worked first time.
