    @andrew1977 just got my cash back now, if you haven’t received yours maybe raise the issue on chat and you should get sorted. I had screenshots of most recently used stores from The Revolut app which I forwarded.

    Looks like the Cashback amount is now 2% instead of 3%



  • Registered Users Posts: 580 ✭✭✭Moving2017

    It says "Up to 3%" now, but I can't find anywhere that is doing more than 2% at the moment.

    Got a few Euros off here and there but nobody was ever going to be a millionaire on the back of this. A bit like the 10c PTSB give for card transactions up to a €5 a month. I look at these small cashback amounts as a contribution towards banking fees or online booking charges.

    Yea just noticed myself last night when I was going to the till, Was good when it lasted...



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,840 ✭✭✭ozmo


    Bought something in Currys, but in Shop - shop assistant says I would get cashback if I paid via revolut - so I did - but it didnt register for cash back in the app - is this eligable if not done online anyone know? Who would I chase this up with if it was?

    Reasonably big purchase so would be nice to get the credit if I was due....

    “Roll it back”



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,578 ✭✭✭amber2


    @ozmo did u click on shop with cashback with Currys link in app before paying. That activates the cashback Should work then. If you did that and it didn’t work contact them via chat.

    Fairly poor from revolut that all these shops are leaving already. Very disappointed to lose Dunnes already.



  • Moderators Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    Shops probably gave a quota against what could be claimed, and claimed it was. But yeah, I guess I check revolut these days to see if there's cash back, Vs not using it at all before. That'll die off though



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,754 ✭✭✭Buffman


    My first instinct about this cashback offer was that Revolut were attempting to gain some of Paypals business as the 3% is similar to Paypals merchant fees, though they can can vary a bit.

    I wonder now if some companies are fine tuning their cashback offers to match their Paypal fees and those companies that didn't get much payment through Paypal are pulling out of cashback altogether?

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,592 ✭✭✭Cape Clear


    The bigger retailers seem to have left quickly so perhaps the deal expired when a predetermined figure was met. Also it seemed to have a dry run feel to it hardly a promo that was launched in a blaze of publicity. The option appeared on people's log in screen randomly and went from view again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,144 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Your cashback via the store mini app will depend on your account.

    2% for standard, plus, 2.5% for premium, 3% for metal and up to 5% on selected shops for Ultra.

    At least that is my understanding, but I'm open to correction.



  • Registered Users Posts: 537 ✭✭✭yoshimitsu


    I think you're right. I'm on premium and get 2.5% on most merchants listed (tried 7-8 of the popular ones like amazon, woodies, nike, myprotein).



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,144 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    It looks like what happens when you click on the link to go to the shop is that Revolut's system will provide cashback on the next charge from the store independent of which device you complete the transaction.

    I wanted to buy a last-minute thing from Amazon Italy, so I opened the Revolut App - clicked the tracking link in the store mini app and it opened Amazon.co.uk on the mobile device.

    Then I went to the laptop and completed the transaction on a web browser and voila within seconds of Amazon Italy charging me cashback came.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,592 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    thats correct and it seems to stay live for the rest of the day, i used amazon multiple times a day having activated the link that morning

    It works with lots of brick-and-mortar stores also; click the link and then pay in-store shortly afterwards with your Revolut physical card and cashback comes in.

    Does it work with curve gbit when you go through link, topup your card then switch cards through curve? As it looks like a new transaction is made when using curve gbit right?
