Not strictly speaking. These are the fees for the Metal plan so it goes without saying your first card IS the metal card.
So this does not make sense stating your second card is free unless your first card was metal. On this plan, your first card is and will be the metal card.
Should be rephrased - metal fees - 2nd card - Only plastic cards are free as you have been issued with your free quota of 1 metal card on this plan, or something along those lines.
Chosen the Gold. If I can cover most of the monthly fees with cashback and interest on GBP and USD savings faults I’ll stick with it>
I’ll give it a month or 2 to see how it goes before I downgrade (if I do)
Way back in the day I had a Barclaycard gold and really liked it so this swayed me towards the gold also
I’ve been a free user for 4 years now - use my account all the time. Including Monzo and Starling.
Curve almost ditched now because of the new tiers and pricing.
Time to support Revolut with a subscription and have a nice metal card - don’t want them to go under.
I mean if you can pay off half of the monthly fee then what’s 6 pounds or so?
A pint of good ale? (if any pubs are still managing to survive!)
I use it mostly for spending, I tried the direct debits but as I only tried one, Three, it showed up the night before, labeled H3g and thought it looked tripe
Maybe others look better, I’ve just no easy ones to move to trial.
One huge win, would be the ability to assign a card to a Pocket/vault, either physical or virtual. Even on Plus for £2.99.
Also multiple categorys on a transaction.
My free account comes with .75% interest in the vaults too.
Starling and Monzo for sure Three. Maybe even Santander some time ago? Not 100%.
Voxi also shows as Vodafone on the active card checks, which is true, but Monzo refers it as voxi, not sure on Starling, can’t remember what it said the other day.
If you go to open one it gives you all the relevant documents before confirming.
It’s just a savings account essentially. Can’t have bills paid from them, can add money in frequently ie set a regular payment in, though can’t set recurring payments out, just as and when.
Pockets work like pots at Monzo. If no funds available, they’ll take from the main balance instead.
