I guess it'll be another thing to ignore along with avantcard advantages

My virtual card has an expired date of 08/20 and I have a standard Revolut account. Do I need to request a new virtual card before the end of August or will one be auto generated for me? Do I need to pay for the virtual card when it is being replaced due to expiry?

Can’t remember if my virtual card has expired before.

Anyone know why my wife’s card might not work in ATMs? It’s fine for chip and pin and contactless, and in the App I can see that atm withdrawals are enabled. But she’s tried three local ATMs, one BOI one AIB and one PTSB, and they’ve all rejected it. The withdrawal payment appears as unclaimed in the app and says it will revert after seven days.

Has she activated the card with a pin payment in a shop first.

Yeah she uses it regularly in shops, both with pin and with contactless, and it's been fine.

Maybe try a pin change just to rule out a glitch there.

RoYoBo

A bit of a long shot suggestion, but was the location security on and her phone at home on the occasions she was attempting the ATM?

Given Google Pay and Samsung Pay don't work here on a Samsung watch or even say a Fossil branded watch that has Wear OS, what are the options to pay fircstuff using your watch linked to a Revolut card?

Apple watch - although for me I have an Android phone.
Fitbit
Garmin

Do any other brands work?

Fitbit do. Have my Versa 2 linked to my Revolut card and use it with no issues.

Hi Guys,

I am 1000% sure this has been asked before, I can search and find many things, but I cant seem to find an answer, I suspect cause I am wording my search poorly.

I have a massive trip planned in the states, hopefully next year, but yeah, who knows. It will happen though by March 2022.

I have started adding a little money into a dollar account today as rates are good.

But I do just want to check. How do I "use" that money in the states. Do I just use my debit card and it will be taken from the US account or do I need to tx it back into my normaly holdings?

School this obvious idiot

Thanks

Hi Wanton,

Yes just use card and will use US currency.

It will use the USD amount by default when over there. When that's used it it will then start taking Euro and convert it to USD to bake the payment.

Good time to be buying, rate is good.

Creamy Goodness

Just to clarify if you want to buy something for $20 and you only have $10 and €10 the transaction will fail. you need suchificent funds in either wallet, it won't mix and match.

Wanton

Many thanks. Thought as much, but wanted to confirm.

Yeah, defo a good time to buy, might even move towards 1.20 if I am lucky.

Revolut Card.
I have received a GB sterling transfer from another Revolut card holder into my Revolut card over 3 weeks ago. My app shows the transfer has taken place but my euro balance hasn’t increased.
How do I get access to the amount received?

If they transferred sterling it will be in your sterling balance immediately. Have you ever used sterling with your Revolut? If you did click the drop-down arrow beside your euro balance and select UK sterling. If not click on the 3 dots beside your euro balance and add UK sterling

Rock Paper Scissors

Lads has anyone used revolut to get the "my protein" cashback?

It says "remember to paste the code at checkout" but i dont see any code.

Also I am assuming that you can't get cashback from Revolut AND use one of my proteins standard coupons?

Thanks guys

Thephantomsmask

It copies the code Revolut38 to my clipboard when I click through so I am guessing they can't be used together.

The investors not going to like that.They would want to start earning a profit down the line before they start going looking for more funding.

Very easy to send money to someone there now, or vice versa.

Testing ongoing for New Zealand.

You're going to sh1t yourself when you hear about the last twelve years or so of Irish banks losses so.

Difference being Revolut isn't a bank.

You said two months ago you couldn't trust them. Why do you still have any money with them at all?

Zardoz wrote: »

Agreed ,Revolut cannot be trusted .
They are constantly locking peoples accounts ,freezing transfers and demanding documentation if you are moving larger amounts of money.
N26 are much better to deal with ,they are a proper bank with a savings guarantee .

What’s the connection with operating losses and freezing accounts? They aren’t stealing peoples money

Could be freezing accounts of expensive customers
