Mine arrived in 4 working days, only coming from London

Brilliant, might be just about doable so! Thanks for letting me know

If I'm buying something on Amazon.co.uk for say £25 with my revolut card, is it better to convert some of the card balance from Eur to Stg first or does it matter?

Doesn't matter, converts it at the prevailing spot rate, check via xe.com after the transaction. I don't know why I didn't open my account earlier.

Perfect, thanks.

I gave the card to the other half to use
I’m subway the terminal came up
Pay in € or £
She was baffled lol

I must say the card is great
Sent £2k to someone the other day and it was in the uk bank in 2 days no problems
Used it on various sites and in shops no problem
Post office don’t accept the card btw

Do I have to submit my ID before the card is issued ?

I requested the card couple of weeks ago and still not arrived.

In my continuing effort to validate the Revolut card that I got a few weeks ago ... no app for my Windows phone. I got an old Samsung Galaxy (Model GT-S7275R which I think is the Ace 3) without SIM. I can see the app in the Google Play store but it says "your device isn't compatible with this version". Why? On the Revolut site is says screen size must be at least 3.5" (this one is 4") and must be running at least Android 4.2 (which it is).

Any suggestions please?

Pretty sure you will need a SIM in it to verify the number. Did you check for any app updates to the Android Play Store etc?

I figured I would use would use the Windows phone to verify the associated phone number.

And feeling dumb here, I thought Google Play Store was the same as Android Play Store. I just see "Play Store" with the triangle icon.

I still haven't been able to activate my Revolut card. For shame, I have a Windows phone.

Wondering if I could install the Revolut app on the Amazon Fire 7 tablet? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J90O0N4/ref=fs_aus Tempted to buy as now only £29.99.

I got an 8 on prime day. Revolut app is incompatible on the play store.

You can probably fiddle with how the play store sees the tablet or download an apk, I haven't tried either.

Edit apk works

Does anyone know if this offer is still available? I do not see it on the website any longer stating the remaining free cards, last I checked there were loads left, so put it on the long finger.

Had to do it last night for one of the offspring, free card when depositing €50.

You don't get charged currency exchange fees and get the best exchange rates.

can someone briefly tell me why it is good to have? I mean - is it any different to the cards I have from the banks?

I'm holding small but nice crypto profits on it without the hassle of wallets and exchanges.
