It's asking me to top-up by €10.
Are you sure it's free?
Any link?

Only working for new customers, they ask you to top up 10eu but nothing will be taken away.

If you already have a revolut and have not ordered a card, wait til it prompts you for a free physical card

Referral links dont do anything any more anyway I don't think, maybe unlock crypto but surely everybody has that now.

The card is free, but they have just shift the charge to paid postage?

They post it free. Couldn't recommend the card enough.

I only ordered a card on Monday. I already got a free card. But this time I was charged for the card and postage.

Unlock a free metal card. Invite 5 friends to join Revolut, and when they have signed up, verified their identity and ordered their first physical card, we'll give you a 12 month Metal subscription for free!

Do you have to pay the Government €30 stamp duty with this card?

You top up by €10 but that's yours to spend.

Only first one is free.

It's a debit card, not credit. So you only pay the stamp duty. 12c for each ATM withdrawal etc, up to a max of €5 if used as an ATM card and for payment in shops.

You don't pay anything at all, not even the €5, to the Government if you avoid Irish ATMs. Foreign ATMs are OK. There's no charge for using it in shops.

Seems I misunderstood the €5 max for combined ATM and debit card to mean 2 different uses for it.

Looks like the max charge might just be based on the type of card but charged per ATM withdrawal (in Ireland) in either case. I don't think I've ever had just an ATM card.

It's not a credit card so no. Standard debit card stamp duty would apply if you use it in an ATM in Ireland.

They add 12c to every withdrawal, presumably up to €5 as it's a debit card but I've never used it more than once or twice a year so can't confirm

Where did you see that offer, I don't see it?

Ive had Revolut for a number of years and was never charged any fees...what I spent on my card whether here or overseas was what was taken from my revolut acc..Ive upgraded to the Metal card just recently, about 130 Euros a year which includes all the extra add ons, medical insurance when travelling, delayed flights or lost luggage, got one free pass to an airport lounge and a reduction if you want to use lounges in future. I bought the upgrade because of an FX bank transfer, to take advantage of the live rates, saved me almost 3 K compared to the next best exchange company. Plus I will be doing about 4 months overseas this year in various countries so the medical insurance will be handy. Metal also gives a 20% reduction on insurance for my phone, I smash it, get it wet, stolen etc, its replaced. Plus metal has the concierge, An AI system on the app that can book me flights, hotels, events, a car...ra ra ra...plus the Hardened aluminium card is pretty cool...Took it out of my wallet to buy a round of drinks a few days back and it slipped from my fingers, making a big thunk on the bar top, people were like, WTF kind of card is that...

Is there any point ordering this card before the 18th . Looking at the posts seems like the card is free anyway?

dory

I only got oe in the last month. Can't recommend it enough! I buy a lot of things online in other currencies. I usually get charged a bit extra to what the internet says I should be charged, and now I'm getting the internet exchange rate. I often got little charges on my debit card for foreign exchange on Kindle, no more of that! And €200 free withdrawls outside the Eurozone.

Does it say in writing anywhere if you refer people that you can get a free metal card for a year? I checked their site and it seems it's only for Austrian and portuguese residents?

vintagecosmos

I had a popup to refer 5 people by Feb 18th to get metal for a year for free. I invited someone after the deadline and they got a standard card with free shipping.

Muahahaha

Are these cards useable as a contactless debit card here in Ireland? If so what are the fees per transaction?
Otherwise what is the advantage of using them for online purchases? Like when I spend online right now am I not getting the interbank rate for currency conversions? On ebay/Amazon I always select to pay in the currency of the sellers country so thought that means you get the interbank rate????

Search the forum, there is a huge discussion thread on the Revolut card.
