Revolut has, since its launch in 2015, been at the forefront of the Fintech Revolution. It’s a brand synonymous with continuous innovation & providing users with secure, fast, and convenient financial solutions that WIN. So much so that in under 10 years, Revolut has established itself as a globally trusted brand in the digital banking sector and truly redefined the digital banking landscape. Its most recent innovation is the newly introduced Loyalty Programme, RevPoints.
Designed to enhance the overall Customer Experience, RevPoints incentivises customers to switch their daily, routine transactions and activities to the Revolut app rather than their traditional bank account/card. Whether it’s making daily purchases, foreign currency exchanges, or setting yourself trackable savings goals, participation in RevPoints leads to the accumulation of points that can be exchanged for a wide range of rewards and benefits.
This article explores how RevPoints works and how you, the customer can maximise your return – by ensuring every swipe, transfer, or investment advances your rewards status.
Understanding Revolut’s Loyalty Programme.
What is RevPoints?
RevPoints is the NEW Loyalty Programme offered by Revolut. It’s built to reward you for utilising Revolut’s diverse array of financial products and services; and operates on a simple principle: the more you use, the more you earn.
This Programme is built around driving Customer Engagement levels by providing tangible rewards for everyday transactions and activities conducted through the Revolut App.
By participating in the RevPoints Loyalty Programme, you accumulate points that can later be redeemed for rewards, making everyday banking not only convenient but also rewarding. Whether you’re making international transfers, paying for daily purchases with your Revolut card, or trading cryptocurrencies, RevPoints are earned as a token of appreciation for your loyalty and continuous use of Revolut’s services.

PRO TIP
Now it’s time for the Pro Tip and how we at Chilli Pepper have really enjoyed usinPackage Comparison Chartg our RevPoints – when you use your RevPoints to purchase Airmiles, you do so at a 1 to 1 conversion rate e.g., 1 RevPoint = 1 Avois Point. At time of writing, you can book a one-way reward Aer Lingus flight with 10kg carryon baggage allowance to Paris for €24.32 (taxes & charges) + 4,000 Avois Points. This same one-way flight, if booked directly through the Aer Lingus website would cost €155.64.
This presents a higher discount benefit than when you use your RevPoints on Hotel discounts, e.g., at time of writing a 3-night stay at the Gibson Hotel in Dublin costs €430.19 + 4,000 RevPoints. The 4,000 RevPoints getting you a €80 discount.
This to us, is a no brainer.
