• Green Card airport lounges

„Relax when traveling. Your Green Card gives you access to more than 1000 VIP lounges at airports around the world.“

„Stay covered on your trip, your Green Card includes medical insurance abroad.“

This seems new. Maybe there‘ll be an official update soon.

    Wel vreemd dan toch. Ook dat diverse landen blijkbaar andere voorwaarden hebben maar niemand weet of het klopt

      Sicher wird man uns demnächst antworten...

        Hey Guys! 👋

        This is a test we're running at the moment, aiming to give us an idea of what future perks people would find valuable for the Green Card. 🌳

        Those perks don't actually exist on the card right now, although they might in the future depending on how the test goes.

        Of course, we don't want anyone to order the card thinking that those perks exist now, so if you choose to order from that screen then we make it clear that it was just a test, and explain the benefits that Green Card actually does offer today. 🌈

        Hope that helps explain it!

        Cheers
        Tom

          I went looking and didn't find this in the app, but on further and closer-inspection of todays update, I can say for certain, that, this user was shown a survey or questionnaire to poll the interest of a possible green card with expanded features such as lounge access and travel and car insurance, to reiterate: bunq does not offer these benefits yet!

          Also further down on this screen: @Mikhail-Yellow-Leopard#148585 would be the text, which is cropped out of that screen shot that says this, which reads as follows translated into English:

          "We're testing interest in extra benefits for Green Card, like Airport Lounge access, travel insurance and rental car insurance. These don't exist yet, and if we add them to Green Card you'll be the first to know. In the meantime, Green Card is still the easiest way to offset your footprint with zero effort. You can order it now to get your beautiful metal card."

          With below that a cancel button to return to the normal card order screen.

          UPDATE: as you can see above, bunq was typing pretty much the same answer while I was typing this.

            Si it is a sort of market study? How much people click if those perks are added?

              @Tom#148607 bunq shouldn’t off airport-lounge acces, but it would be nice if bunq would offer lounge access at train stations for long distance travellers (international train tickets).
              Travel insurance would be a nice perk.

                @Mikhail-Yellow-Leopard#148612 Seems like typical A/B-testing for market demand and click-through-rate.

                  @Mat64#148674 Yes indeed. Preferring long distance high speed trains over polluting flights. Thát would be a far more thoughtful idea to promote. And to stay close to the original concept of the green card.

                    I think the lounges are a nice idea. I also don’t think it goes against the ideals of the green card: the green card doesn’t make you fly more, it would simply make your flight more comfortable and because you’re using the card you offset some of your co2.

                    Also, in some cases you simply have no other choice than to fly.

                      @R#148686 I absolutely agree with you. Access to some lounges will not make you book a flight.

                        Would be sick to get these features :)
                        Right now, as a student I don’t want to pay 100€ every year for the greencard.

                        It’s hard to get something which hardly benefits me, which costs much money (beside my Premium fees)
                        But if the greencard would offer more usefull „features“, I would lean more and more to buy it.

                        I think a Smartphone insurance would be pretty nice (because without my phone bunq doesn’t work😂)

                        And features like car/bike or health insurance are also a nice to have, but not a must have.

                          @Tom#148607 Uhm this seems a bit odd, so, browsing around the bunq app, I may stumble upon offers that are fake just to test my reaction to them?

                            Wäre super wenn es diese benefits (Lounge, Reisekrankenversicherung, Reise-Storno Versicherung etc.) gibt.

                              Lounge Zugang wäre mega geil.

                                @Tom#148607 Hey Tom! How did the test go? Do you add one of the features you put? Thanks! 🙏🏻
