Nice. Need for wise is now removed.
Well I never knew they did pet insurance! Better deal than Waggel (£8 for £1k coverage), he’s a house cat, never left the garden, or house.

So, according to chat.
You can sign up to Metal (love the black and grey cards), get your metal card, cancel the subscription, and just pay the £40 cost of the card which will work after your subscription ends, plus delivery fee.
Not sure I can fully justify it, but I want it 
Also takes my spending from Starling

Not tried or tested myself. I also like the premium card in grey, and it’s silver, probs no overarching cost to cancel after either.

Can you opt for non express?
Wait for the card first and sort it out after. Makes more sense on a security aspect

So, I can downgrade, but pay the cost of the metal card.
If I dropped to premium would I be refunded the difference of the metal? £6?
Lastly, do all cards on account just remain active and usable?
Had the rainbow card for a while, December 2020 maybe. Never activated but had used Apple Pay for a while.
It’ll be my Newcastle pride card.
Be good to see the quality compared to the Monzo card, wasn’t sure if to go the grey vs the black, was also tempted by the shiny card 
I’ll work my way down.

I’ve been toying with the app all day, removed the clutter from the home page, added linked accounts (Starling 
), vaults (savings) for round ups which are £85k protected like a bank would, easy penalty free withdrawals too, and then pockets (pots).
I’ve no knowledge of crypto or the other stuff, but seems to have quite a lot going for it.

My first pride card fell apart within weeks. At the time, they said they didn’t have stock to replace it, so it got very tatty - think most of the laminate scraped off the front with little use.
Had a couple of ‘replacements’ since (Revolut has always required upgrades before any of my cards has expired…) and they’ve been OK. If they’d only let you choose the name on the card… So ugly I’ve scratched mine off!!

Think it’s been in the same box for 18 months or so, I’ll have a look tomorrow.
Think the only card I know of that’s took a beating was my Monzo plus card. Other half’s coral card went tacky real fast, think he likes his yellow one though.
Revolut has ticked a few boxes for me today.
Open banking for Starling and Monzo together.
Setting a weekly budget that’s visible on the Home Screen so I can see where I’m at with my spending without having to add categories.
Black metal card.
Responsive customer service (though never had a problem with many other banks).
They have vaults/pots but can’t withdraw from them weekly by automation - which is a shame, but no biggy.
Multiple cards for various use cases, all linked to the same balance so I can mood swap 
And it’s just let me order chromatic for free 
And grey premium.
Damn.
Yeah, they’re ahead of the curve in many ways. Locked me out for a couple of months though once waiting for Compliance, who spent all of 30 seconds to then unlock my account… Not really willing to commit much to them since then!

Anybody knows why they are forcing me to order a new Visa card until the end of this month, even though my current card expires in 2 years?
The say that they are phasing out old cards, but what would be different in the new ones? Haven’t head of any innovations for the chips of the cards…
