Revolut Chat

It used to do annual, maybe ask the support team they might be able to as I’d consider the premium annual if discounted.

My biggest gripe is still no insurance, if I could afford my phones outright and buy through revolut I’m covered for a year, but I’m not that flush :melting_face:

It does refer to annual in the pages, so a shout to support.

Said something somewhere if you’re on the plan, when you go to edit your plan it may give the option.

Yap, received email today :e-mail::grin:

I assume, Ultra plan is not as successful as planned, so they are trying to squeeze more out of other paying plans instead :smirk::thinking:

Ultra is too expensive for those who won’t reap the perks, but adding value to the other plans will likely result in more signups.

When did FT become part of Revolut plans?

I wish I knew this before I renewed my subscription.

All Plus; (which I ironically signed up to two days ago) is adding more free currency exchange allowance for £1 more.

I just got my cash back, I don’t find it worth it, had they thrown a couple of free stock trades I’d have stuck with it.

FT was always with Ultra.

It’s only yesterday (or very very recent) Metal has had it.

The subscription partners have just landed in Ireland, but not the corresponding price increase (yet)
My annual Metal sub is due in 2 days - wonder if I’ll get away with the lower price :joy: :crossed_fingers:

Interesting set of offers. If you were paying for the FT that’s £35/month so everything else on metal is essentially free.

Don’t appear to be any exclusions for pre existing conditions on the travel insurance with the only condition being that you’re under 76. Or am I missing something here? That by itself would more than match the Nationwide equivalent if there aren’t any other exemptions.

Tempting.

The insurance used to say something like anything older than 12 months is fine.

Worth checking the wording thoroughly though to be sure.

Even the CDW would pay for the subscription. Three weeks in July and CDW from Curve turned out to save about £300.

Definitely worth a read of the full terms but looking very good indeed.

You can now extend the amount of transactions you see in the Home Screen by long pressing a transaction, and tap recent transactions to choose a number.

I see you can get metal in either Visa or MC. Are these Visa Infinite and World Elite respectively?

The benefits don’t come attached, but I think it does have the elite/infinite written on them as does my visa premium.

You get benefits simply because of the Infinite/WE label. For instance, WE let me get Hertz Gold which in turn gets 15% discount, 10000km included (3000 normally), 25c/km over that (45c usually) and all told saved me almost £1000 on the rental. Revolut and Curve throw in CDW which saved another £300 but that WE label all by itself saved £1000.

You also get similar benefits on hotels and likely some other things (e.g. https://www.priceless.com and Visa’s equivalent).

I earned £8.66 in Cashback during my first month(?) with Revolut. Took me a minute to spot that each cashback transaction was limited to £2.00 but free money is free money so can’t complain.

I found it quite difficult to find the cashback part of the app, also it stated it would pay out on the 17th of this month but it actually arrived just after the clock ticked over to the 18th.

Also, even though I don’t need the physical card I’d actually quite like one but I’m not gonna pay £4.99. Liberty takers!

Anyway, just thought I’d share my experience.

The CEO is Russian, whom also removed their Russian status following the invasion on Ukraine. The other exec is Ukrainian.

Not yet a bank, no, but probably more UK customers than Starling, both personal and business.

They had over 4 mil UK customers some time ago, which I imagine has increased quite some since then, alongside 30+ million across the globe, UK being its biggest customer base (from previous reports, maybe changed now).

Their licence probably isn’t far off, their product is very much bank like.

The only thing that doesn’t make it a bank is FSCS protection (whereby Savings are FSCS in the app), and maybe lending out customers money (they could lend out their own but don’t want to).

In that their accounts were filed late yet again, I think a banking license will be quite a way off.
