In recent years, Revolut has established itself as one of the most popular fintech solutions for frequent travelers. In addition to simplified expense management and advantageous currency exchanges, the platform has introduced an interesting new feature: RevPoints. But what is it all about and why should frequent flyers care? If you are not yet a customer, you can do so with 3 clicks and also get a €20 voucher.
What are RevPoints?
In this article:
RevPoints is Revolut's loyalty program. which allows users to accumulate points through spending with the card or booking hotels through Revolut Stays. Most importantly, points are a currency that can be converted into different loyalty programs, just as is the case with Membership Rewards.
What is really interesting is the 1:1 conversion rate, that is, each RevPoint can be converted at par to different program partners.
How many RevPoints are earned with each euro spent
RevPoints accumulation is linked to card fees and varies depending on the type of plan subscribed to
- Standard plan - 1 point each 10 € spent
- Premium - 1 point each 10 € spent
- Plus - 1 point each 4 € spent
- Metal - 1 point each 2 € spent
- Ultra - 1 point each 1 € spent.
What are Revolut's loyalty program partners
The landscape of loyalty partner programs is not yet widespread, but it is already absolutely respectable:
- Flying Blue is Air France KLM's frequent flyer and is the world's best loyalty program. Points can be used to book award tickets with all Skyteam carriers and many other
- Executive Club of British Airways has, in my opinion, in Avios the best currency to book award tickets
- Iberia Plus is the Spanish airline's loyalty program and Avios have the same value as those of British Airways, there is also the Vueling Club which is the FF of the Spanish low-cost airline that belongs to the same group as Iberia and British Airways
- AerClub is the loyalty program of Aer Lingus, this program also uses Avios as currency, but at the moment it is not possible to merge them with other carriers that use the same currency
- Privilege Club by Qatar Airways. This program also uses Avios as currency, but it is also very interesting to be able to convert directly because there are often specific bonuses on this type of transfer directly from the company
- Miles&Go is the program of TAP Portugal, Portugal's national airline.
The latest development in chronological order is The arrival of the partnership with Miles&Smiles, or the Turkish Airlines loyalty program. This is the only way to accumulate points through credit card spending in Italy on the Turkish frequent flyer.
To push the new partnership a promotion has also been launched which gives a 20% bonus on transferred RevPoints by March 16, 2025. Basically through this promo you will get 1.2 Miles&Smiles for only 1 ReVPoint transferred.
Other ways to accumulate RevPoints
There are several ways to earn RevPoints in addition to normal transactions:
- Reservations through Revolut Stays: Booking hotels with Revolut earns twice as many points as traditional spending.
- In-app challenges: completing goals in the Revolut app, such as setting a budget or reaching a weekly spending threshold.
- Revolut Plan Upgrade: Those who upgrade to a higher floor can receive a bonus of points (up to 10,000 for upgrading to Ultra, depending on the starting floor).
- Spare Change: by rounding up purchases and transferring the difference into savings, you earn 50 RevPoints for each rounded euro.
Is it worth accumulating RevPoints?
If you already use Revolut for your spending, RevPoints are an extra benefit not to be underestimated. If you are not yet a customer today Revolut you might think of becoming one for all those expenses where other credit cards do not allow you to accumulate points, for all expenses made in currencies other than the Euro.
There is no limit to the number of points you can accumulate, but it must be remembered that they expire after three years. With Revolut's growing focus on the travel industry, program is likely to expand with additional benefits in the future.
