Tom Thanks for the heads up, really looking forward to your solution on this :)

Sometimes I wonder to myself (now though to the bunq world) if bunq is being led by professional business minded people or idealistic university students. Seems more like idealistic students.
There’s just no way that any business minded person would have just made such drastic changes as we saw a couple of days ago.

Wenn ich das lese, ich bin einfach schockiert. Genau aus diesem Grund darf grüne Partei nie regieren. Die Leute leben in Wolken. Habt ihr überhaupt irgendwelche Bäume gesehen oder Pixels reichen für Euch. Was für ein Energieverbraucht das ganze verursacht :) ich würde das noch verstehen , wenn die Bäume noch in Europa gepflanzt wurden.

Max Eu pensei exactamente o mesmo. Não preciso do cartão para plantar árvores. Numa doação do valor que dei do cartão planto bastantes árvores.

Casper This is incredibly lame

I just received an e-mail from bunq saying:

'[we] have decided to plant 2 trees per €100 spend on your Metal Cards, until March 2021. On top of that, you will continue to get 1 tree per €100 spent on all your other bunq cards.'

Very nice solution in my opinion, kudo's for this.

Me too.

This is the good work of this open minded community, since we have discussed this issue openly here - very well done folks!

René Same here, very happy to see this change. Only caveat is that this ends in March 2021. But still, everyone who got GreenCard still gets what he/she paid for.

Ich bin schon gespannt, wann es denn umgesetzt wird, dass wir wieder 2 Bäume pflanzen?
Derzeit werden ja weiterhin nur 1 Baum gepflanzt.

Wann kommt also ein Update, sodass sich aus dieser Sicht der Einsatz der Karte wieder doppelt lohnt?

Dima-

Perfekt 👌

R

Max Correct, after March people can re-evaluate if they still find the subscription worth it!

Tom

Hey everyone! 👋

As some of you have already seen, for anyone that signed up to a Green Card before we launched SuperGreen, we're going back to planting 2 trees per €100 spent on the Metal Card until March 2021.

And on top of that, you will still plant 1 tree per €100 on every other bunq card as a SuperGreen member.

Thank you for all the feedback and for being so constructive about sharing why you wanted this back. This way we all benefit from SuperGreen. 🙌

Thanks again for being part of the bunq community.

Cheers
Tom

Tom Hallo Tom, was passiert mit meine GreenCard nach einem Jahr wenn ich meine Mietgliedschaft auf Premium umstelle? Kann ich die Metalkarte weiter benutzen? Klar, ohne Bäume zu Pflanzen.

Tom Hi Tom,

Thank you for this great solution :)!

I have a question about how this works: how is determined which card is spending the 100 euro? Are the metal card and other cards both seen as a different ‘counter’? For example, what happens if I spend 99 euro on my metal card and then 2 euro on my maestro?

Esther-Orange-Unicorn

Tom Perfect, thank you!
Until March 2021 is great, after that I hope this will stay.

Hey Dima,

The Metal Card will get frozen if you downgrade from SuperGreen after the year. You can always upgrade back to SuperGreen again if you'd like to continue using it.

Cheers
Tom

Hey Rene 👋

It will be based on the transaction that crosses the €100 threshold. So it will work both ways. For example;

€98 on a maestro and then €2 on a Metal Card = 2 trees
€98 on a Metal Card and then €2 on a maestro = 1 tree

Because the only people who had less trees with the originally announced SuperGreen were those who put most of their transactions on a Metal Card, this solution will mean everyone ends up with more trees than they would have planted before SuperGreen 🙌.

(that doesn't mean I won't be actively choosing my Metal Card when my next tree counter is close to 100% though 😂)

Cheers
Tom

Thank you very much. All good now :)

R

Tom Sounds great, thanks for clarifying!

Deffo gonna keep an eye on what card to use at the threshold ;D

Hi, ik heb ook gezien hoeveel een boom planten maximaal kost (0.36 euro). Ik begrijp daarom ook niet waarom er gekozen is om maar 1 boom per 100 Euro te planten. En, ja ik zou liever zien dat we dan ook bomen kunnen planten als we IDeal en incasso betalingen doen. Dan zet het pas echt zoden aan de dijk, en kunnen we een mooi bos aanplanten. Groetjes

R

Sandra Hi Sandra, bunq gaf in een andere post aan dat men gemiddeld 24 bomen per maand plant. Als het planten 36 cent kost, dan zit je dus al bijna aan 9 euro aan kosten. Dat is ongeveer gelijk aan de kosten van de supergreen subscription bovenop premium, en voor dat bedrag krijg je er ook een metalen kaart bij.

Denk dus dat er niet veel ruimte is voor meer bomen...

JeroenE

Sandra & René Bij de partner die bunq gebruikt kost het planten van de bomen vanaf 10 dollarcent. Omdat bunq nergens aangeeft welke optie ze bij die partner hebben gekozen zou ik er vanuit gaan dat ze de goedkoopste hebben gekozen en niet de duurste. Dat is immers beter voor het milieu (als in: hoe meer bomen hoe beter). Dus voor enkel het prijsverschil kunnen (afhankelijk van de wisselkoers) zo'n 97 bomen per maand geplant worden.

As far as I know none of the 9€ for SuperGreen go into trees. Trees are funded by the money bunq gets from transactions done with the debit/credit cards. That 24 trees is probably just an estimated average.

SuperGreen is basically a premium tier including a fancy metal card with the bonus of planting trees off of it.
