I think I would use them more one time (personally) I.e. ordering from a website I am not confident in. Then destroy after

Don’t really bother looking at the Android teardown due to OS parity :joy:

The postponement of Plus will come Monday or Tuesday then?

331

I hope they say something soon, I’m agonising over wether to switch. The direction plus accounts go (what’s in offer feature wise, not so much insurance and for what level of fees) may make switch much more attractive (even if not switched on yet)

The use case of virtual cards attached to pots is a very exciting idea. Love the sound of this.

I think it’s time for an update, even if it is just to say that plus will be out on hold for the time being whilst this current situation is in play, that way we all know where we stand without losing faith in Monzo and their communication/transparency.

This calls for a countdown! :smiley:

Definitely getting delayed, no travel insurance could be offered

Not really a priority right now is it.

I disagree.

If you mean not a priority for Monzo, I would say launching something to generate profit is the ONLY priority. It might need adjusting to remove travel elements.

If you mean not a priority for consumers, why not? Most people can do and worry about more than one thing at a time.

Monzo can work from home, and a significant number of staff already did.

Not really going to cause a slowdown.

I would rather they held off a launch until things return to something resembling normality.

I dont see the benefit launching this now when it will potentially be half baked (I.e removing traveling insurance). Like the first PLUS with a bunch on mediocre features that most of us won’t be able to use anyway.

345

Oh, I agree :slight_smile: . I’m disputing that people ‘should be worrying about other things’ and people thinking everyone and all companies should put their lives on hold for an undetermined amount of time.

Lets be honest.

If you look at the threads around Plus, the greatest number of users involved in each thread is about 150.

Frankly, right now, I don’t expect monzo to spend time working through an update (that no doubt will get pulled apart and questioned left right and centre), when they clearly have much more pressing priorities to deal with.

In the grand scheme of things, an update to the 150 or so of use who engage in the threads about plus, is pretty low on the priority list.

Personally I’d rather them spend their time right now working out what needs to be done to come out the otherside of the Covid-19 situation.

Surely the two come hand in hand?

Whatever happens to plus will have a huge impact on when/how monzo get through all this

348

To think of it from a different angle, surely things like this are already on the list though? They must have been through the plan internally, so why wasn’t updating the community one of them?

I don’t speak for everyone but we’re not exactly asking for an essay on their decision. Just a simple message saying “We’re putting this on hold due to the current situation and will review it in 3 weeks time” so we (the “valued community”) are kept in the loop too like they promised.

I see it as no different to them continuing on social media. They are currently on there discussing what peoples lockdown luxuries are.
