Hello,
how waiting time on average for the black card
āBlack cardā do you mean metal? Believe they are currently waiting on new stock. You can still sign up and get all the benefits, i.e. cashback, whilst using your old card. Other premium cards are standard delivery times.
years my friend, years
Yasmina, You get an expected delivery time when you order the card, in my case a week. If you havenāt ordered it then gwidaz is correct and it wonāt be for years! 
I assume this didnāt happen, as I have moved forward ~200 positions in the queue in four weeks. The above message was posted three weeks ago so I had hoped to see my queue position advance by several thousand places by now.
I donāt really mind waiting indefinitely for the metal card. Sure it would be nice to have, but the delay isnāt a deal-breaker (I have a Premium account but still use the standard card - I quite like it 
)
However I would like to activate a Metal subscription to start benefiting from the accountās features, particularly the cashback, as Iām travelling with work quite frequently at the moment. Is there any new information regarding timescales?
Some news from Revolt landed in my inbox today:
According to the app, my queue position hasnāt changed much (currently position 9,880) but itās reassuring to know that this should be changing over the coming ten days.

True to Revolutās word, I progressed almost 10,000 places in the Metal queue within ten days and have now upgraded. Iām working in the UAE next week so will be interested to see how well the cashback works. Fingers crossed that commission-free trading follows in the not-too-distant future, along with airport lounge access.

Iām a little salty, joined Revolut queue and was 6000th but I thought it was broken so I left and rejoined because my placement didnāt move much for a few days after the open letter 
now Iām like 60,000 in queue
Edit: Holy F&$Ā£ Iām at 45k in the queue now and I only checked on Monday, so theyāve rolled out a little over 15k cards in a few days.
or the queue is just fake and they just do what they want
As a business where their share value is determined by estimation and at some point theyāre either buying back shares to remain private or going completely public with an IPO (Initial Public Offering), I highly doubt itās in their best interest to do anything like that. Seems quite dumb actually.
As long as nobody can check that they can do what they want. Also, doesnāt it just look fantastic when they suddenly have 15k cards in a few days?
No, they canāt, because theyāll have to be providing financial statistics as a Limited Company 
and if it doesnāt match up Revolut is going to get smacked by quite large fines as well as share price to plummet.
Not really in my case, I want to see N26 Metal offering here before Revolut upgrade me to metal, or I want them to add the airport lounge access, tbh.
The same here: was 29k in a queque yesterday and jumped up to 11k today! Canāt waitā¦
Was around place 38k in the queue a week agoā¦ Was upgraded to metal today! 
I have received mine today and it looks beautiful. It was worth the long wait I guess 
I got second metal cardā¦ 
. Tnx Revolut .

Hi guys!
I want to buy my Revolut maniac friend a Metal subscription for 6 months as a Christmas present. Do you happen to know what happens after the paid duration expires? Will he be able to keep the Metal card? Also, do you know if buying for someone a subscription is a thing with Revolut, or I have to do it covertly from his account?
Minimum contract is 1 year. Itās 120Ā£ up front.
The contract will renew unless he cancels a month before 
He will be able to keep the metal card until it expires or until he loses it, whatever happens first.
Covertly although you could try asking support if you could pay for metal for another account. @anon33247966 may be able to answer this better than I
Revolut Metal has a 12-month minimum term even if you decide to pay monthly. Monthly payments are deducted from your Revolut balance automatically.
There is no way to buy a 6-month subscription for you or for anyone else. You also cannot upgrade the account on behalf of another user.
Paying annually is cheaper. So an option to you would be to send your friend half of the annual subscription cost with a suggestion they upgrade to Metal (it will cost them the same as itās costing you). It will be for them to decide whether to upgrade.
I would like to see a DIY program, to creat our own premium service. For example I donāt want the Ā£400 ATM withdrawal or the travel insurance but I like the airport lounges and the exchange and so on.
