They seem to freeze multiple times and when frozen it can take months to get it sorted but quite a lot I have heard from get unfrozen.

What exactly makes it better than Monzo Plus?

Nothing I can use now and only things I may be able to use if something breaks/gets lost/cancelled.

The real proof for me would be how easy those things are to claim with. If they are as good as they make out, I’ll pay them Ā£3 a month for that and not even use the account.

What about the sexy new debit card? :joy:

I’d have my concerns over how they’d handle a claim and tbf sort of feel the same about getting travel insurance with them

Unfounded? Not sure

That being said I will be cancelling Monzo plus after the third payment goes out

As for the frozen accounts, see similar horror stories about Monzo but have my salary in there. Could get paid into Revolut and enter a Ā£3000 prize draw, but for some reason I’m not ready to make the leap

Love that people are still ā€˜liking’ my flagged post.

Omg. Received card today… looks really awful

I thought it looked quite bad from your screenshot of it, the well taken promo shots gave it a bit more credit and now you’ve posted real world photos, I would hiding that card until it expires :rofl:

At least it’s Visa Infinite though, shiny.

It’s very ugly and they’ve obviously missed a trick making the back of it that navy blue.

YIKES. That is… something. Although I like the bird on the back.

that card is hideous

If I was a patriot, I’d certainly love it but since I’m not I don’t and am indifferent. Definitely a marmite offering but c’est la vie.

You paid for that??!

The ā€œat an angleā€ photo, especially alongside other flags, made it look a bit less dreadful, but oh my, that in the flesh photo. And why is the back blue for no obvious reason??

Leaving aside everything else, I don’t get why the flags are not to proportion. Pretty much every flag is 2:3 or 1:2, but not with Big Rev!

Revolut are using this to nudge free customers onto Premium or Metal. If you go through to the card order screen and tap the flag option, it directs you to the upgrade screen.

@Mogolent What subscription are you on?

Premium. I use it mainly for kids accounts

After seeing the Plus account I have to admit I was interested but their rule on paying out on the purchase price less 5% monthly depreciation and the excess makes it a no deal for me. I don’t think depreciation at that level reflects reality because if you purchased something and it was stolen a year later the amount reimbursed would nowhere near cover the cost of replacement.

If anyone is interested, there seems to be ask offer in the Rewards tab of 5% cashback in Apple Watches.

Ends tomorrow I believe

That’s a pretty good deal - Apple discounts are rare.

Yup! There was no notification or anything, I found it by chance by browsing the Rewards tab, so thought I’d post it here just in case anyone was planning on getting one for Christmas, to get a few dollah off!

What’s your source on the excess and 5% depreciation, please? I’ve searched, but there’s no mention of any specific terms for the ā€˜insurance’ offerings in the standard T&Cs you get in-app when attempting to sign up.

Even with excess and 5% depreciation, this would be a really nice proposition for many. I’m not willing to pay Ā£10-15 a month for phone insurance - I have enough savings (in part thanks to saving that Ā£15/month rather than giving it to an insurance company!) to replace a broken phone/iPad myself - but Ā£3/month for some money back I think is worth paying to take some of the sting out of having to do so…
