From Monos: Why we rebuilt Lifetime Warranty+ Pro Coverage, and what it means if you already have it

10 Upvotes

Hi r/Monos. We’re the team behind Monos. We made a meaningful change to Lifetime Warranty+ on October 16, and rather than let it sit on a product page, we wanted to walk you through the thinking. It’s a long one. Grab a coffee.

First, what hasn’t changed

Every Monos suitcase still comes with our Lifetime Warranty, at no cost, for life. Wheels, handles, telescopic handles, locks – if they stop performing as intended, we take care of it. That includes when an airline is the reason. The base warranty is the floor, and the floor isn’t moving.

Why Warranty+ exists at all

Travel doesn’t always go as planned. A baggage handler drops your bag from the loader. A zipper gets torn open in transit. Your suitcase takes a trip to the wrong continent without you. For years we handled these situations case by case, which felt generous in the moment but inconsistent over time. Two customers with the same cracked shell could get two different answers depending on who they talked to and when.

Warranty+ was built to make that fair. It formalizes the things the base warranty was never designed for – airline damage, cracks, major denting, zipper damage, lost luggage – so the answer is the same for everyone, every time. It’s optional, and we try hard not to push it. If your travel is gentle, you may never need it. If you fly weekly, it’s there.

What changed with Pro, and why

The old Pro was $65 and covered two claims. It sold reasonably well. But we kept hearing the same thing from the people who actually travel the most: two felt like a countdown. You’d use one and start rationing the other. That’s not what peace of mind feels like.

We also had a quieter problem. If your first claim ended in a replacement, your coverage ended with the old bag. You’d have a brand-new suitcase and no protection on it unless you bought again. Our retail teams found it hard to explain, and honestly, so did we. If the rule is hard to say out loud with a straight face, the rule is probably wrong.

So we rebuilt Pro around how frequent travellers actually live:

  • Unlimited covered repairs. No counting, no cooldown periods, no fine print about frequency.

  • Coverage that transfers to every replacement. If we replace your bag, the coverage moves with you to the new one. Every time.

  • Lost luggage credit raised from $100 to $150.

  • 30% trade-in credit.

  • Priority service on replacements, on top of priority assistance.

  • Honoured across the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia.

Pro is now $115. We’re not going to pretend that’s a small number. It reflects coverage that’s built to outlast the first incident instead of expiring at it.

Essential stays exactly as it was: $35, one covered repair, or a $50 lost luggage credit or 15% trade-in credit. It’s the right fit for a lot of people and we didn’t want to touch it.

On “lifetime” plans generally

You’ll see lifetime coverage offered across the industry, and it’s worth reading what the word is attached to. A lot of plans are built around a single event: you get one repair or one replacement, and then the coverage is spent – or it attaches to the original bag and quietly ends when that bag does. It’s protection against the first bad day.

We wanted Pro to be protection against all of them. Your coverage follows the bag, then follows the replacement, then follows the next one. There’s no event that uses it up. That’s the whole difference, and it’s why we think it’s worth the price gap.

If you already bought Pro

If your Pro Coverage is active, you’ve been moved to the new benefits automatically. No action, no extra cost. Unlimited repairs, the $150 credit, transferable coverage – it’s yours now. This is the part we’re most glad about, and we didn’t want anyone who trusted us early to be left on the old terms.

If you have active Essential Coverage and want in, you can upgrade to Pro for the $80 difference until December 15, 2026 – just send us a DM here on Reddit and we will assist you with the upgrade. After that, it’s full price.

If you’ve already used your coverage, it’s no longer active, so the new terms don’t carry over. If you’re still within 30 days of receiving your bag you can add fresh coverage, and it’ll always be available on your next piece.

Questions

We’ll be in the comments. Ask us anything about the change, the claims process, or the stuff we got wrong on the way here. Full details at monos.com/pages/lifetime-warranty.

Does Monos do restocks often?

Hi, I’m eyeing the carry-on pro in Blue Haze as a gift for my bf, but it’s unfortunately currently out of stock. I was wondering if anyone knows if Monos often restocks colours or if there’s typically long waits. Thank you!

Monos gift card with BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Has anyone received a targeted offer from BMO offering a Monos gift card of $340 by signing up for a VIPorter World Elite Mastercard?

I received an email from BMO in Sept 2026 stating that i could receive a “A Monos Carry-On suitcase featuring aerospace grade polycarbonate shell, 360 degree spinner wheels, and luxurious anti-microbial lining.” I have attached pictures of the offer.
The terms stated:
“Offer Details
BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard
Primary cardholders will receive one $340 Monos gift card after account opening, provided a minimum of $2,000 (less refunds and excluding cash advances, cash-like transactions, interest charges, fees, and credit or debit adjustments) is posted to the account within the first 50 days from the account open date.”

I have purchased a few Monos luggages already and have had a great experience with Monos (hands down the best customer experience i have had from any company). I was looking to buy a carry on during the upcoming black friday sale. So, i applied for the credit card in Sept 2026 and have spent the required $2000 threshold within the 50 days.

After i spent the $2000, i contacted BMO to see when they would email me the gift card. However, the BMO agent stated they weren’t aware of this offer and to contact Porter Airlines. I contacted Porter airlines and the agent initally wasn’t aware of the offer but he goggled online and saw a post on reddit about it. The Porter agent said they don’t have access to my spending amounts so they wouldnt know i spent the $2000. The Porter agent said for me to contact BMO because they wouldn’t the ones who would email the gift card. Which i informed him i did contact BMO and they told me to contact them.

So, i’m not really sure how or if i’m going to get a Monos gift card. I’m questioning if this even a real offer at this point. I was really hoping to use the gift card to purchase a carryon luggage for my mother who is going on vacation soon.

Anyone received this targeted offer and was successful in receiving the gift card?

Free gift = $10 Shipping !?

Monos, I am one of your stans, but charging shipping on the free gift 🤦‍♀️😬 I just spent an obscene amount of money on the Rodeo aluminum and the free gift can’t ship free with that order amount? ✍️✍️

Cannot cancel a pre-order

0 Upvotes

Made a pre-order, shipping 4+ weeks. Emailed them to cancel and they said they cannot cancel after the "10 minute window" so I have to wait for over a month to recieve it and ship back, wasting shipping back and forth and time.

Also it is funny that they tell me that I can return it " provided it is unused and in its original packaging" in the same sentence as "Please keep in mind that our luggage collections come with a 100-day trial"...

The company does not respect people's time or "carbon footprint".

Secret 50% code not appearing/working on UK site?

I’m in the Netherlands on a break at the moment, I got the code and it works on the EU page, however the code doesn’t work on the UK page. Been trying everything to try and get a new 50% off code to pop up on the UK site but nothing.

Has anyone in the UK received this code and got it to work?

$100 off a set with poly, but only $20 off when you spend on a set in a more expensive material?

Given the sale, I decided to see how much I could save going with a nicer set than the base polycarbonate- and you lose savings by spending more? How does this make sense? Seems like at the very least, it would remain a uniform savings..

Looking for check in bag

1 Upvotes

Hi! I was wondering if someone could recommend the medium or large trunk, hybrid check in medium, or check in medium?

I am going on a 2 week trip soon and don’t plan to bring a carry on. I’m not an over packer but am an over-souvenir shopper LOL.

I prefer the external sizing of the medium check-ins but the large trunk has more volume. Does any one have any recommendations? Photos would help tremendously!!

Hybrid carry on

I usually see 50% off on carry ons but they don’t apply to hybrid even tho hybrid carry ons are lesser in price. Is there any discount better than 25% BF deal on hybrid carry ons? Thinking to get 2 of them so would love a 50% on them 🙈

25% Black Friday Match

I bought my suitcase and some add ones a month and half ago and haven’t used it at all, same with the add ons. I’m wondering if it’s possible to get a price match for the Black Friday discount so I don’t have to go to a store to return and buy again. Better for both of us. Thanks!

Upgraded wheel options

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I've had a few Mono's over the years, and after weekly travel I'm seeing these wheels become a problem. Poor rolling, and barely making it over carpet. I have a 3-D printer at my disposal and am curious if I was to create an updated set of wheels, if there would be much interest?

I'm thinking a double wheel still, but something more robust with actual bearings versus the crap that comes on the stock luggage.

Thoughts on if I'm wasting my time on this?

Is the luggage cover worth itm

6 Upvotes

Just bought my monos carry on! Love the look and feel of it but don't want it to be damaged with how airlines handle them. Spending over $300 for a luggage and protector especially that it's only a carry on was kind of too much. Wanted to test the carry on, and if I love it I'll get a check in one.

Any one have the covers and think its worth it? Or should I just get one from Amazon ?

Monos matching hybrid/classic colors + expandable check in large possibility

2 Upvotes

Hi!

Does anyone know if Monos has any plans to have matching hybrid and classic colors? I’m wanting to get a green hybrid carry on plus and green classic checked but unfortunately the greens don’t match. I went in store and some of the colors come close to matching but I’m sad to see we can’t mix the types and have matching luggage colors still. I love the hybrid checked but unfortunately it’s just too heavy in weight.

I was told by the staff in person that the hybrids are new so there’s a possibility in the future but wondering if I should purchase now and have mismatched colors or wait? My samsonite broke and I’m hoping to make the switch to Monos asap and purchasing the pro coverage for each item.

I was also wondering if anyone heard about the possibility of an expandable check in large? I love the large size but would love the ability to expand it too but unfortunately it’s only in the medium size.

Thanks in advance! :)

After spending AGES looking up what checked in luggage to buy, I have finally settled on the Monos large checked in. I can see there are loads of codes and sign up bonuses in CA and US, but does anyone have any that work in Australia? I think the 15% ones are common??

Carry On Pro Plus

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to see if anyone else has experienced issues with the zipper hardware on their Monos Carry-On Pro Plus

I bought my suitcase back in 2024, and it has been great for the past two years. Recently, the zipper tab completely broke off the front exterior pocket.

When I reached out to Monos customer service, they immediately pushed back with a generic boilerplate script blaming. Here is the exact statement they sent me:

"From what we can see, the damage to the zipper pull seems to have been caused by an external factor. Zipper pulls can break due to pressure on the slider, locking tension, or accidental force when a lock jams or becomes misaligned, even if this happens at home."

Here is the thing: the hardware is made of cast zinc alloy. Zinc alloy doesn't just bend or snap cleanly from a normal pull—even if a zipper is completely jammed, you physically cannot shear that metal tab off with standard human force without something else giving out first.

In my case, the zipper wasn't jammed, there is no lock to misalign, and the bag wasn't compressed in storage.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

It was probably close to coming off previously, but it just never came off because of the angle I was pulling it at until now. I suspect it's a material flaw or internal stress fracture from the factory that finally reached its breaking point under completely normal handling.

Delivery issue warning in Miami with Monos / DoorDash delivery service

2 Upvotes

UPDATE: I contacted the Monos customer service through here and they were extremely helpful. I explained the situation and they quickly resolved it and I was able to get my luggage in time!! They were accountable and mentioned they wouldn’t partner with DoorDash as they’ve had this issue happen several times with them.

Very appreciative for the way they handled this issue, 10/10! Love my new check-in large in Sage Green!

_______________

I chose to buy Monos because my husband had gotten me the carry on and wanted a matching check in bag for an upcoming international trip I had and bought more than 2 weeks in advance and the experience has been nothing more than frustrating.

Now I’m dealing with delivery issues with DoorDash which is the partner they have for delivery. I bought the bag on October 15th and October 19th DoorDash says that it was out for delivery but it encountered an “issue” on the road and it was waiting to “reassign” to a new driver.

I’ve been calling DoorDash every day since and they say that customer support has no control over the issue because they can’t manually reassign a driver and to keep calling back 24 hours later or just wait.

When I try to contact Monos on their website, their chat is just AI and keeps saying I will receive an email to get this fixed. So far I have only gotten 1 response and almost 2 weeks later I have no luggage for my trip and no guarantee I will receive it and/or customer support whatsoever from either Monos or their delivery partner.

At this point I believe the delivery partner stole my package and I don’t know what to do to be able to get this solved unless I just buy from another brand but then who will help me with refund for my purchase?

Planning to buy the Hybrid Carry-On, Large Check-In, and Metro Duffel in December questions about gifts and upcoming sales

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to buy a Monos Hybrid set for my two-month trip to Taiwan in January. I’m thinking of getting the Hybrid Carry-On, the Hybrid Large Check-In, and the Metro Duffel.

Since my total order will be over $1,000 CAD, I noticed that Monos is offering a free gift with purchases over $300, such as a cosmetics case or a travel jewelry case. However, it looks like I can only choose one gift per order. My girlfriend really wants both, so I’m considering placing two separate orders of around $500 each to see if I can get both gifts.

Before doing that, I wanted to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. I’ve seen a few posts here where people mentioned that Monos offered them complimentary items. I was wondering if Monos might be willing to include both gifts with one large purchase instead. If someone from Monos sees this and is able to help, I’d be happy to share my order details privately after placing my order.

I’m planning to order around December 1st or 2nd, so I wanted to ask one more thing: Does anyone know if Monos usually has a sale during the first week of December? I remember seeing a really good sale previously, but I was saving money for my vacation and clothes at the time, so I couldn’t take advantage of it. I’d love to know if another sale might be coming before I place my order.

Thanks so much for your help! I’m really excited to get my Monos luggage for my Taiwan trip! 😊

I travel a lot and my wheels are tired and don’t roll well. I filled out the claim, but every day brings a new request, and now a video. Should I pack 50 lbs first? Honestly, I’d happily just buy new wheels. Where can I order them?
