    The internet isn’t for everyone

    I just did an IKEA home delivery purchase, clicked in the Revolut Shopping App (no tracking link, just a re-direct to the website), completed the purchase online on a laptop and cashback there a few seconds after payment taken.

    Looks for some shops they now use a tracking link and for others they continue to look at the merchant and than provide cashback.

    Amazon is showing again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Must be targeted, nothing for me on 2 devices.



  • Registered Users Posts: 288 ✭✭BhoyRayzor


    Just seen it in the continue shopping section, don't remember it being there since it removed and showing when I search in the shops as well. Not sure why if not showing for everyone, I only have the free account



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,636 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Not there for me either

    Are you on one of the premium plans with Revolut?

    Amazon is back for me also, but only when I checked the Cashback section for marketplaces, it's there! (Didn't order anything yet from amazon but I assume it works)

    amazon not showing for me in marketplace, just checked right now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    I still think Amazon is targeted because I can't find it either.

    But recently shops drop in and out from day to day, I think the AI is now determining what to show.

    Also on those which do not have a tracking cookie (i.e. which are giving cashback via the merchant identifier) you can use coupons at the site in my experience (and even some other tracking cookies like AerLingus Avios) while on the ones with tracking cookie all bets are off once you enter a coupon.

    Looking to buy a new Samsung phone. Any cashback from Samsung Ireland please?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭JackieChang


    Has anybody managed to get the pay in 3 thing working?

    I've been denied three times now. I have a decent salary. My linked PTSB account is only about 4 months old (switched recently from KBC). Could that be the issue?

    I asked them and they're not allowed to tell us the rules.

    Please no preaching on why credit is bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    From what I gather, PTSB via openbanking is not making it clear who the sender of funds is, hence the Revolut AI can't easily identify your Salary.

    In the Revolut App go into Analytics and look into your Money In section, check if your Salary shows up as from the company or if it instead shows up a transfer in your own name.

    There is a similar problem for loans, Revolut can't explain, somehow the classification/sender info from PTSB is not always reliable and hence creates the impression you don't have an income.

    This is based on my own opinion!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Yes, up to 3% depending on your plan but you might be better off to use one of those EPP links for Samsung, those discounts are usually better than cashback.

    EPP (samsung.com)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,826 ✭✭✭masterboy123


    Thanks for the EPP link. Does it offer 15% discount without any sort of membership?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Yup, once you register you will see those prices, now it's not always cheaper than on amazon.[] so check around.



  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    Thanks for that - I'm with PTSB and ineligible for loans and the pay-in-three facility and, yup, my salary payments are listed from me as opposed to my employer so Revolut thinks i have no salary. Why am I not surprised this is PTSB's fault?

    That said, my spouse - who earns a third of what I do and is also with PTSB, does seem to be eligible, so go figure :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Can it be that your salary various slightly over time (bonus/shares/tax credits) while your wives is always the same?



  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    That's what I originally thought was the issue - hers are always a standard amount, mine are normally above my nominal salary. I'll ask her later if she is down as payments coming from herself or a third party...

    I didn't get the Ikea cashback when shopping in person (which I had for other retailers). Have other people experienced this? It was a fairly hefty sum in the end, so if I could get it, I'd love to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭amber2


    Contact them on chat, screenshot where you opened the link to ikea on the recently used and also screenshot of the % of cashback. They are usually good to sort it out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭frash


    No they won't - they'll tell you it's online only (even though it works in a lot of bricks n' mortar places)



  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    @Yggr of Asgard - just as an update, her salary deposits also show as coming from herself, but are standard amounts unlike mine.

    I do wonder then, if you are not with PTSB, then you perhaps can avail of it with differing amounts, but with PTSB they have to be a regular sum. Bit of a bugger, and probably no simple way around it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 131 ✭✭Hideki99235


    I don't have Amazon as an option on my revolut for the cash back any more.

    Anyone know why this is?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭amber2


    @lestercullen showing up on mine when typed in the search bar. 2%




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    I think that the AI chooses who get's Amazon offers.

    I don't have it but I know other people who still have it, maybe once you used it to often the AI knows you are a regular customer and after all the purpose of cashback is to lure you to shop at Amazon (and the other retailers).

    I notice that a shop that I regulary use disapeared for me but is still there for others, so I think that is what it is, once you have been aquired and earned something you might not longer get it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭amber2


    @lestercullen

    just spotted this on Reddit a reply from Revolut, Amazon showing on my app so unsure about the limited time time answer so must be capping the cashback per account.

    Response from chat assistant: 

    "If your shops feature working perfectly and you are concerned about specifically Amazon cashback then the Amazon feature comes for a limited period. Whenever they launch again you will be able to see it."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,679 ✭✭✭Cape Clear

    Looks like a UK promo but I got both an email and app notification for m them. As it happens I'm in the UK at the end of the month.So hopefully I get some benefit from it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 895 ✭✭✭tbahh


    Mine says up to €10 in the email but does only mention the UK in the terms and conditions.

    Since it says '€' and not '£' in the email, I presume there was a mistake somewhere. I'll do it anyway and can get on to their support if cashback not applied!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,231 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard

    There's an in-app chat?

    I got the mail and I see it listed under the "Suggested for you" section. I was talking to another guy who got neither.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,156 ✭✭✭oneweb


    I've tried chat support but keep getting template answers about checking cashback refunds :-/

    Has eBay been removed from cashback? Revolut's moved stuff around and it's hard to find anything now!


    [EDIT] Finally got it - Hub -> Shops

    It's only 1% now, not worth the hassle of so many link taps.

    It is what it's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,229 ✭✭✭jj880


    Revolut is a great service but this cashback BS is annoying. Either offer cashback on a shop all the time or dont. Lucky dip at the moment.



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


    Funny you should say this, the cashback seems to be gone from my app this morning.....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,229 ✭✭✭jj880


    Checked play store. Was due an app update.

    Checked app. Cashback was there (no Amazon).

    Updated app. Cashback gone. Checked the upgrade compare page for Standard v Metal. It's been paywalled.

    Well at least now we know Standard doesnt get cashback.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,786 ✭✭✭DownByTheGarden


    I found out how this works. If you are a regular customer you wont get very many if any offers after the first couple for certain shops.

    Revolut knows if you used your revolut card at certain shops often.

    The way to get offers to come up is to not use your revolut card for shopping normally. But check it before you go to a particular shop and see if its there in the offers. If it is then use that one and use the card that once in the shop to get the discount. Then go back to using a different card for shops again until you find one on revolut that you want to use the discount on.

    I must be thick Im not picking this up at all. Different card?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,786 ✭✭✭DownByTheGarden


    Mines just the bog standard free revolut card. Its under shops and then it give you a list of shops. Lately consisting entirely of shops I would never bother buying anything in. Just checked it now and the shops link is still there for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,156 ✭✭✭oneweb


    For me (standard user), it's (sometimes) under the [Hub] tab at the bottom (Android). Scroll down to Lifestyle, first yellow item is Shops.

    BUT! I'm sure I checked that page a number of times and it wasn't there. Thanks lads 'n' gals for reassuring me that I'm not losing my mind, it definitely seems to have been playing hide and seek on me lately!

    It is what it's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,229 ✭✭✭jj880


    Well looks like they are phasing out cashback for all except metal. So if you are still getting cashback dont update your app. 😅

    It disappeared for me after updating this morning.

    Take a look here:

    If you compare the plans in the app you will see that the metal cashback is now set to only 1%.

    Revolut cutting down on the goodies.

    EDIT: just noticed theyve removed customer support for Standard cards. WTF 😅😅



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,156 ✭✭✭oneweb


    Customer support is hidden under your avatar at the top left - click that, then scroll down to Help. Whoever they recently hired to make these decisions should be shown the door.

    It is what it's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,786 ✭✭✭DownByTheGarden


    Mine updated this morning automatically. Its still there for me. Pretty useless selection of shops in it though so it might as well not be there tbh.

    Be interesting to see what that help actually is. Hopefully not reduced to a bot.

    Whatever about whats still appearing for some people. I think the chart in that link is clearly showing what they intend to do.

    Wont be long until everyone is matching up with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,229 ✭✭✭jj880


    Ah I found cashback again. They just moved it after the app update. Amazon still not showing in the search so basically useless for me. If anyone figures out how to get cashback with Amazon every purchase please post.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 514 ✭✭✭feelings


    Amazon removed from mine a while now but partner still has it. I wonder is there some cashback limit per shop, once you reach it they remove the offer?

    0.1% cashback on metal in the EU. You need to spend €13,000 per month to get your €13 monthly fee back.
