Revolut Megathread.

Have many of your mortgage payments come out?

I found revolut needs a number of payments to leave before it realises the payment is recurring.

Personally I would have thought bringing 50% or whatever of your estimated spend while there in cash and trade it to whomever offers the highest exchange.I have found on travels in countries with a dodgy exchange rate that cash works much better.I do not go to corner hangers to exchange.Each to his own though.

I went to use my Revolut card online, and decided to use the one-use disposable card number. ( I've used the feature before). The option has gone from my app. The only option I can see in "cards" tab is my regular Revolut card.

Just me, or has there been a change?

I can see my regular card and a virtual card-multiple use.The one off virtual card has "disappeared".Maybe your multi use gone by "mistake"

Disposable card not showing for me on the cards tab but it looks like I can generate a new one by going into add card.

First cash I bring is usually a float or a judgement about how cash I will need in the first few days or hours.I will look up sites for exchange rates then shop for better rate in 2/3 places every 2 weeks or 1 month.

Not to derail the thread but imo once their dictator is inevitably re-elected the Lira will likely take another dip as it's done when he polled well the first time. That'd be a good time to buy some Lira, imo.

I wouldn't even bother with cash since they're very card friendly over there, in my experience anyway!

I have a similar issue, only the internet is showing as a recurring payment

I wonder if a few payments have to go through for it to be counted as recurring

Yeah the manage direct debit button doesn't work for me for the payments that think they're a one off

The recurring one has the cancel button available

If you've cancelled the direct debit with PTSB then it shouldn't take any money from your account. Direct debit isn't like a fixed transfer every month, it's an authorisation for someone to take money once a month. So if they take nothing the direct debit it still there, it'll just be inactive

Bit of an update to this, I think after marking as a subscription payment then Revolut will need to see 3 payments of the same amount around the same time to count it as a payment that can be included in a pocket

One of my recurring payments just hit that threshold and I can now add it to a pocket where I couldn't before

Another one only has 2 payments of the same amount so it isn't showing up when I try adding stuff to the pocket. When it comes out later this month it should be at 3 payments and can be added

Some merchants are obviously known to Revolut (e.g. Amazon prime or Spotify) so it seems to automatically include them as subscriptions

Deleted

I don't see any agenda against Revolut here. It's the now standard warning to take a breath after getting a shock message, not to click links and go about your day.

Hey Gang, hoping someone can help with this. I use my AIB debit card to top up my Revolut. Card expired on May 31st and I got a new one, same details, just an updated expiry date and CVV. I've deleted the old card from the app but any time I try to top up with the new one it just goes into "Auth for Card - pending" and then gets declined a minute or two later. It's driving me scatty. Anyone any ideas? Revolut's "help" amounted to "Contact your bank, we can't help you" but I can 100% guarantee that if I ring AIB they'll tell me the issue is with Revolut.

The new card is working perfectly everywhere else, just for the record.

Thanks in advance.

I'm actually cracking up at this point. Spent almost 20 minutes on hold waiting to speak to AIB earlier before giving up. Tried to just do a transfer from my account rather than via my card and it keeps failing at the confirmation stage. The screen to confirm the transaction pops up for a nano-second and then the AIB app goes "Error - cannot send push message, directing you back" and I get fired back to Revolut. I have all the notification types enabled on the AIB app so can't figure out what the issue is. Updated both the Revolut and AIB apps to no avail. In fact, Revolut isn't even offering me debit card as a top-up option now. Genuinely on the verge of firing the phone out the window here.

I've been actively avoiding setting up Google Pay because I just think it's far too easy to spend money these days as it is (like, I sometimes deliberately leave my cards at home for that very reason) but I think at this stage I'm going to have to. If fcuking AIB will allow me to...

I'm not sure if this is related but my wife had to use the seperate card reader thing to generate a security code in order to transfer money to her Revolut account. I can't remember if she was doing transfers or a debit card transaction however

I'm still wait listed, been checking the odd time

Has anyone actually gotten one yet?

I don't really want or need a credit card, but it would be handy to have the option if I'm ever renting a car

I'm guessing there'll be a virtual card option like with the debit cards? Not really interested in getting yet another physical card
