I’m not getting lounge access with them; I generally have lounge access anyway

Seems like Yonder now supports open banking as of 2 weeks ago.
Been waiting too long for this! My biggest gripe with Yonder was the incomplete in app analytics and lack of Monzo integration.
Hopefully that integration can be implemented soon🙏

Feel like part of their barrier is the fact Yonder relies on Griffin, so ultimately surely it’s Griffin who needs to provide the service?
I looked it all up, the fact I’m restricted where I can use points, the fact it’s not a bank and when looking up how to redeem points it mentions a “fair use limit.” I’ll happily stick to my mix of AMEX and Barclaycard Rewards.

I got this Instagram reel as an AD

Video goes something like: Monzo or Yonder, why choose both, Monzo is good for this and that and yonder is good for it’s points system so get both, keep Monzo for everyday spending and yonder for…
You’d think they’d want it all as Yonder does have a reasonable points system.
The latest update said something about auto top up but I can’t find it anywhere in the app.
I didn’t get the advert. I think they meant “Monzo for bills and Yonder for spending” but I didn’t quite get that from the advert I saw.
Monzo for everyday spending is the opposite of what they want!

If they wanted to be ground breaking then points on direct debits would be the way to go.

Or a general cashback type scheme instead which I would benefit more from tbh.

Possibly though I would imagine that’s quite the deviation from their core selling point so I’d be surprised.

Following our discussion on here after my husband was rejected for a Yonder debit card due to his age, I am happy to report that the Financial Ombudsman has upheld my complaint and compensation has been awarded. Yonder will be changing their policy by the end of the year.

Good stuff! Glad it was sorted.

I’d noticed some Edinburgh venues were added to the app over the last couple of months - had an email from Yonder today saying they’ve launched in Glasgow too. One of the venues is my local pub, which does £3 pints at the start of the week, so I think I can get good value for my points there

I have been looking at getting Yonder as my main spending card for the 4x per £1 points.
Anyone else using this as their main card and had a good experience?
It’s by no means my main card but I have used points and got some nice food out of it.

Great to know! I’ve been interested in Yonder for a while but being London-only meant it wasn’t worth it. I wish they had a web search with all the venues so I can keep an eye out before signing up for a card
I have it and don’t live in London but it’s still sort of useful. You can redeem points on Trainline, hotels, flights, clothing etc, not just stuff in the city.
The main reason I have it though was for a sign up/referral bonus - managed to get 50,000 points for free and used it for a completely free hotel stay!

I’ve been using it as my main spending card for both me and my wife for around 3.5 years and couldn’t recommend it more highly! We’ve had c.£4k worth of rewards out of it now.
We now live in the suburbs, as opposed to London, but hasn’t slowed us down or limited us. We just have more of their online rewards or use it for a meal out with friends or date night when we are in London
