    Not going to lie… I paid for the highest tier and I did it mostly for the insurance but you’re right saying it’s not much of a perk. Monzo paid account donut really offer you perks. They just paywall features other banks give you for free.

    Literally went to Premium just for the metal card because it feels so much nicer than plastic. Surprised they’re dropping that when Revolut even does a platinum card. I’d be more likely to move to Revolut

    None of this sounds remotely enticing....Monzo just seems to be all over the place,not exactly confidence building & still don't think they've turned a profit.

    This is concerning to me - almost a sign of a failing institution when they charge for small features. I'm sure this will make Monzo some money, but not sure what the future of Monzo looks like if they are having to resort to this buisness model

    I am a premium member but will probably be upgrading to max - for the sausage rolls and RAC. shame they're scrapping the metal card, I rather liked it. would be nice if they did a metal black card, maybe adding further cashback options for say £20 a month??

    I'm on plus and will be switching to Extra. The budgeting features save me hundreds each month as I have better oversight and control of my spending. Getting it for 2 quid cheaper is just the cherry on top.

      Yeah for a guy who is supposed to be clued up about finances he just ignores the pots and virtual cards this is one of the key differences between a normal account and Monzo/starling. He also advised people to get a Triodos account and they charge £3 with no perks at all.

      I actually invested in them years ago and I really like the bank. I just paid because I like them. I love the virtual cards the fact that I get phone insurance is a bonus but honestly there is no bank like monzo. So happy with them.

    What are your thoughts Andy on starling? I’m currently with hsbc (I use chase for my everyday spending) but thinking of changing my hsbc account to starling. Only downside is that there is no switching offer. Or should I stay with HSBC which is my main bank account for bills etc ?

    I've been unable to get a railcard becuase I don't seem to meet any of the eligible criteria to get one.
    If I can get one with Monzo Perk then it'll be worth it especially if it's 1/3 off.
    No longer paying for Curve metal so it might be worth the investment.
