    Better than Revolut for holdiays or online shopping.

    What about foreign currency fees ?

    I read that as maximum cashback is €30, as in 3% of €1000.

    Use your debit card outside of the Eurozone this summer to score 3% cashback on any purchase up to €1,000. The €1,000 is a cumulative total of all purchases made.1

    Not sure how good an offer this is by the time you factor in poor fx rate and fees.

    If you made 3 atm withdrawals they'd cost you more than €30 in fees and FX rates.

    The extra is easily swallowed up by their poor fx rates.

    My understanding is the debit card fee outside eurozone is visa interbank rate plus 2 percent max fee €11.43.

    So you will get Revolut rate plus 1% cashback

    Your OP said €1000, it's not even 30 as that will be clawed back on fees so you might end up with a bit less than 10.

    This seems to be aimed at the same morons who fell for PTSB's 2% a month back on their mortgage.

    I misread the €1000 so will edit it.
