    Cheers. That's handy.

    Probably not possible and maybe the cashback wouldn't work anyway but anyone know if you could get it to link to currys.co.uk rather than currys.ie?

    Tried the uk vpn but no joy.

    Anyone knows whether the in-app purchase is recognised when rather than a website you use the company's app ? For example when I click on amazon in the revolut app, it takes me to the amazon app rather than the amazon website ..



  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    Can confirm that cashback is paid from Amazon when it triggers the Amazon app on Android, rather than a browser. Seems to have gone in only a few minutes after the transaction... note the cashback will likely go into your Sterling account, not your Euro one - so I didn't notice it immediately.

    Thanks for that, I bought via IOS app and was waiting for cash back, can see in sterling account, was paid straightaway,

    I’m not seeing it in my app? Only like two stores under shopping?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭Cape Clear


    Yip all pertinent info in the Revolut rewards thread. Maybe a merger needed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,456 ✭✭✭ALS


    Deleted the app and reinstalled but still not seeing it, perhaps by its account specific



  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭migrant


    I just buy £200 of Amazon credit top up via the Revolut hub, it's simpler than doing it every time for each piffling transaction, you get the £6 cashback credited right away. Then you it won't matter what device you do the purchases on later, since you've already received the cashback.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,769 ✭✭✭horse7


    It says Amazon but I can't access amazon.de

    Revolut chat have no idea what I'm talking about.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭Anjunadeep


    I got access to the Shops discount by going into the play store and searching for Revolut.. and when you click into it, there is an option to opt in as a beta tester. It seems to take some time after that to make changes to the app but I noticed a few hours later, the Shops discounts were appearing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,543 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    I've tried a different method and it seemed to work ok. Add whatever you want into the basket via pc/laptop. Then go through revolut app and into amazon and pay for what is there. The rebate came through straight away. I thought they might have some cache check that you need to add products via the app, or all transactions needed to be via the revolu/amazon app e2e but nothing like that it seems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭padair


    Can you do this, amd get your 6 quid. Them come out of Amazon and using the revolut app again go into Amazon and spend 200 gift card for another 6 quid off?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭padair




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭padair


    Having one of those days

    This does not appear to work with M and M Direct in the list. A few days ago I chose the 3% Cashback option, then made a purchase using the browser window it opened up. The payment appeared in Revolut, but no sign of the cashback so far. While it would have only been about €2, I thought I'll try contacting support just to report the issue and basically got responses from their agent like - Are you sure the store is in the list, have you checked the T&C's, that I need to wait 14 days, etc. and currently waiting a further update.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Used it in two actual stores today and it worked. Started up the shops thing , let it open the webpage while queuing to pay. Then tapped my revolut using Apple Pay. Got the refund straight away.



  • Registered Users Posts: 308 ✭✭ggmad


    I tried this in B&Q today and it didn’t work

    Easons and Newbridge silver where the shops I did it in.



  • Registered Users Posts: 691 ✭✭✭Stewball


    Can you get this to work if you're buying something using a laptop?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 847 ✭✭✭WildCardDoW


    If the website supports it, create the basket on your account on your laptop.

    You have to open the link via Revolut and finish transaction on your phone in theory.

    It might be possible that opening link via Revolut app and then finishing order on a separate device will work (similar to how another user posted that opening a website page and completing a transaction in store was enough to trigger a payment).

    It is, clearly, not a guarantee.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,772 ✭✭✭cython


    Similar to a few others, I was a little surprised to get cashback from a B&M purchase in M&S after I'd been browsing online through the app, and bought in person afterwards. Obviously not complaining by any means, of course!



  • Registered Users Posts: 308 ✭✭ggmad




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,772 ✭✭✭cython


    Seems to have been immediate (transaction stamped as the same minute) as far as I can tell, yes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 552 ✭✭✭jc77


    I don't see any of the shops (Smyths, Dunnes Stores, M&S, etc) in my Revolut Rewards section even after deleting and reinstalling the app.



  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    On Android, it's under Hub, then scroll down to Lifestyle. For me, it was the last thing there.

    Once in it, you can click the pin at the top right; it will then appear on the Home tab, in the left to right scrollable list (Accounts, Cards, Stocks etc.)



  • Registered Users Posts: 552 ✭✭✭jc77


    I can see the rewards section and have many reward partners in Dublin (I live in Cork).

    I contacted Revolut and got;

    ‘I can see that you are eligible for many merchant's cashback but not for the one's you mentioned.’

    I asked about Smyths, Dunnes, M&S.

    They not in the Rewards section, they are in the Shops section. There is a searchbar on the "homepage" of the Revolut app - just search for shops on it and it should show up.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Yeh as above it’s not rewards . Go into the section that shows you icons for everything , scroll down to lifestyle and you will see shops. You can long press on that icon and pin to the front menu.



  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭migrant


    Are you sure that it was actually Revolut who responded? "the one's" seems like the sort of English that you'd get from some scammers without much knowledge of English.



  • Registered Users Posts: 691 ✭✭✭Stewball


    Just done this buying something on Amazon.

    Opened Revolut, activated shops, directed to the Amazon app on my phone, then bought the product via the website on my laptop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 847 ✭✭✭WildCardDoW


    Seems like they only track a browser open link then have a list of "store" IDs that they'll match against on payout.


    So if your local Curry's uses a different store name to the online store it won't work. If they use a generic name across all stores, including online, it will work.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,061 ✭✭✭thecivvie


    Can you use different Amazon, ie .DE or .FR

    I had no luck with Revolut chat getting the cashback for the M&M Direct order. They kept passing me from agent to agent and having to re-explain the issue, show screenshots, etc., so even going through the App and shopping within its browser, they may not honor the cashback for some shops. The following is how I access the shops section, having already explained this to their agents (3 agents I spoke to were not aware of this separate Shops section either).

    With Amazon, the 3% cashback worked fine. I started by adding items to the basket, the recent £5 off £15 and a voucher on my PC and completing the checkout process via Amazon in the Revolut App.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭uli84


    Does this need to by activated shop by shop? Cannot be done in one go?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,406 ✭✭✭fergiesfolly


    Just used it for Sports Direct. Used the link from the app. Paid at the checkout as normal and by the time I checked the app, the refund was already back in my account. So can't complain about that



  • Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 5,842 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quackster


    It needs to be activated for every transaction.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Tried it successfully in Marks and Spencer’s and Smyth’s in store.

    I Dont seem to have a "shop" category under lifestyle. All the other labels are there. Is this with a free "standard" level account



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Yeh you need to update the app. I was the same. On iOS I had to uninstall it and reinstall to get the latest one.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭bigron2109


    Do you mind sharing what you done in store as I’ve a few things to get in Ken Blacks and that’s on the list . Cheers



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Yeh , go to smyths, before you to pay , open the deal in the revolut app , Let it redirect to the website. Then just pay in store with revolut.

    ives used it in

    smyths

    newbridge silver

    easons

    marks and spencers



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭bigron2109


    Super thank you so much. I’ve a few things to get in Smyths online and Ken Blacks in Store so that’s great. Thanks



  • Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 5,842 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quackster


    It likely only works if instore transactions use exactly the same name as online transactions. For instance, Dunnes instore transactions use the name of the store location so that probably won't work. (Haven't tried myself yet to confirm for definite).

    So do a test transaction in Smyths/Ken Blacks first before assuming it will work there!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭padair


    Amazon worked for me straight away, smiths did not work but I think that was due to order not going through on the same day



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭bigron2109


    Followed Optimus Prime’s instructions today while in Ken Blacks and it worked perfectly . Got the cash back before I had even left the store so can confirm it works in store with Ken Blacks too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,775 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    Worked in Harvey Norman as well today



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,904 ✭✭✭DeadSkin


    Bought printer ink from 123ink via the Revolut app and didn't receive cashback.
