In recent months, I have noticed that whenever I make a purchase online, (if I can) I always end up clicking on Revolut Pay. It is not a "technical" choice, it is not a matter of fashion: is just that works better. You open the app, confirm with Face ID, and it's done. The end.
In this article:
No passwords to remember, no strange logins, no double authentication that sends you from the PC to the email (or SMS) and then back to the site to finish.
It's the kind of comfort that, when you start using it, you wonder how you did it until the day before.
Why Revolut Pay is more convenient than PayPal
For years I used PayPal without even thinking about it. It was the standard, but today I must say that whenever the Revolut Pay option appears, the choice is almost automatic. The flow is faster, you have no friction, and confirmation through the app is more immediate than the thousand screens PayPal often makes you take.
And then there is the not insignificant detail: you don't have to stick your card details everywhere. Payment comes directly from your Revolut account and that's the end of the story.
The feeling - confirmed by the facts - is that. More and more e-commerce companies are adding Revolut Pay. Probably because for them the commissions are lower and the faster checkout reduces dropouts. For us users, this means only one thing: more opportunities to use it and more opportunities to accumulate points.
RevPoints bonuses that make a difference
The real surprise - the one that makes you say "okay, I like this thing" - comes when you discover that often Revolut Pay gives you extra points. And I'm not talking about the classic token cashback. I'm talking about serious bonuses. It is an advantage that PayPal, today, simply cannot offer.
The best example is Booking.com, which when you pay with Revolut Pay also offers you a x10 on RevPoints. Translated: the same reservation you would have made anyway gives you an avalanche of extra points. And those points then you use them for discounts, rewards, trips--in short, they're worth a lot.
As always, one must keep an eye on Revolut's multipliers because they come and go, the same applies to Revolut Pay.
Accumulate points, without spending anything
Contrary to what you might think, it is also possible to accumulate points by Using the basic profile, the one with zero cost, of course if you want to speed up collection it is better to go for one of the paid plans, but thethe beauty of multipliers is that they are the same for everyone. You get the x10 or x20 either if you accumulate 1 point for every 10 euros spent as well as those who accumulate 1 point for every euro and are Ultra plan holders.
