Hi Abigail, I’m afraid you can’t request a spare card at the moment. As you can see, Monzo’s CEO likes the idea but at the moment, it’s out of their hands -
however, as long as you carry a backup card that’ll keep you going for a little while (which you should do anyway, as Monzo’s in beta), you don’t need to worry about this because Monzo’s service is so good that they’ll send you a replacement card wherever you are in the world!
I’ve moved your post here, to keep all of the discussion about this scenario in one place, I hope that’s ok
