Revolut Megathread.

Just type 'cards' into the top search bar on your revolut app. The first entry you will get will be ' get a new card' and you can order there from free ones right up to ones costing €59.99. If you're on any of the paid plans you can order more than 1 in some cases.

I'm not sure if they send them out automatically, I've always just ordered them as per above when my regular one is about a month short of expiry.

I see that you can now convert €2.50 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers into 600 Avios. Is this good value?

Nothing to do with Revolut at all, that is a Tesco/Aer Lingus Partnership.

Spend vouchers on Aer Lingus at Tesco.com

Sure, you could double dip, pay at Tesco with Revolut and also use your clubcard to maximize your avios.

Nope from what I recall it was clear enough when it was introduced and you could still have your spare change go to either a pocket OR RevPoints. Mine still goes into a savings account and never to points.

But the spare change points rate at least on metal plan of 50 points per €1 that is used for voucher redemption is a scam

Voucher: For example a €100 gets you 5000 points in spare change. All the vouchers are 14000 for €100 vouchers so it would cost you €280 in spare change to get a €100 voucher.

Esim: values 20000 points at €90 off sim cost which would be €400 to save in spare change.

Lounges: that cost €29 are 7300 in points which is €146 in spare change points.

Experiences: one there thats €25 or 3125 points (€63 in spare change)

Stays: an example 20000 points reducing the price by €123. 20000 spare change points would cost you €400

Charity: donations they again are stealing from charity or you depending on how you look at it by donating €100 for 14000 280€ of your spare change points.

Im not to up to speed with air miles and if those are more valuable with points but everything else is a scam with spare change.

Summary, turn it off and never use (be scammed by) it.

When the revpoints came first I was using it as the spare change to create the revpoints on my account and I had a serious amount to get flights with aer lingus… when I done the maths it was almost a scam with how feck all you I got off the flights or in other words how much I got in Avios points,

I have since turned it off to spare change to my pockets and happier to spent my pockets on something I want and get my full value for money.

I know people will come here in the future complaining about it as i think it’s like a blind rip off the cost of them revpoints.

Buying RevPoint a scam. The bonus points would have to be nearing the 200% mark to give you the value in points you save in cash when redeeming them. Steer clear.

However,it is possible to buy them cheaper than avios,convert them to avios,get a cheaper than cash fare and one that’s refundable and changeable

So not a scam

Buy from Avios Directly:
10000 €235.00
3000 €85.00
€320.00

Buy RevPoints and converto the 13000 Avios:
10000 +30% €171.60

Avios Redemption Samples:

Hotel: Wellington Temple Bar 1 Night: 12700 Avios or €71 Cash
Car Hire: Group E - Seat Leon Estate or Similar: 19950 Avios or €92.99 Cash
Upgrade Business: Offpeak - New Youk Upgrade 37,000 points (based on buying the options above) €910.76 Avios / €562.61 RevPoints
Pay Flights: I have 0 points in Avios and about 30000 in RevPoints from spending so I cant really get an example...

Correct me on above if I am wrong it certainly is cheaper than buying Avios but neither look very attractive unless I'm am missing out on paying for flights being where they come into their own.

Yeah recently stayed in a hotel and 3555 revpoints got me 55 quid off which from what I've gathered is much better value than any gift cards

Anyone else with the Rev savings account think they got the wrong interest amount today? Mine significantly dropped.

Yes. Since I posted I checked my statement and the gross interest rate applied was 1.74%. It should have been 2%. I checked back months of statements and it's always shown as 1.99% (rounding difference I presume). I contacted Support who suggested I monitor it for a couple of days and then revert back.

Good one for logging it. And yeah my first thought was the same, a lower interest rate possibly on the horizon :(

There was a “refund of missed interest” deposit into my personal account at around 5pm today.
