How to buy RevPoints in the UK
You can buy a one-off package or schedule a monthly recurring purchase from your Revolut account balance. The available packages and cash price are shown in the app.
Price the redemption before buying. Purchased points are generally non-refundable, have no fixed cash value and should solve a defined shortfall rather than create an open-ended balance.

Make a one-off point purchase
Revolut's current UK help page gives this path. Read the package total and cash charge on your own screen; this guide deliberately does not publish a fixed price.
Open RevPoints
Select RevPoints from the bottom menu, then tap Earn beneath your points balance.
Select Buy points
Choose the one-off option rather than Recurring buy.
Choose the package
Match the point amount to the smallest verified shortfall. Record the cash price displayed for the package.
Review and pay
Confirm the points, cash charge and intended redemption, then tap Pay. The payment comes from your account balance.
Search or price the redemption first. Point purchases do not guarantee reward availability, a particular gift card, a transfer rate or a minimum saving.
How recurring purchases work
Recurring buy schedules a monthly point package. It is a purchase plan, not a boosted earn rate.
Set or change the plan
- Open RevPoints and tap Earn.
- Select Recurring buy.
- Choose the point package shown in your app.
- Tap Save for a lower package or Pay for a higher package.
- Changing the package resets the billing cycle.
Billing and cancellation
- Revolut charges the purchase monthly on the same date.
- If the start date is the 29th, 30th or 31st, shorter months bill on their last day.
- To stop it, open Recurring buy and tap Deactivate.
- Verify the next billing date after every change.
Set a calendar check. Review the package, cash cost, balance and next redemption before the next monthly charge. Deactivate when there is no priced use for the additional points.
The three-number value test
A point purchase only has a case when the expected net benefit is higher than the cash used to acquire the shortfall.
| Number | What to use | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cash purchase cost | The exact account-balance charge in the app | This is your certain cost. |
| 2. Comparable cash saving | The like-for-like cash price minus unavoidable taxes, fees and charges | This estimates the benefit of the intended redemption. |
| 3. Execution risk | Availability, transfer finality, expiry and merchant restrictions | A theoretical saving is not enough if the redemption is not executable. |
Decision rule: buy only when the redemption is currently available, the package is no larger than the verified shortfall, and the conservative net saving exceeds the package cost by a margin you are comfortable with.
Refund and redemption-order boundaries
Purchased points are generally non-refundable
Revolut's purchase help says purchased points are non-refundable. The legal terms have a narrower exception: if you cancel within 14 days of first opening the RevPoints account, unused purchased points can be refunded. That clock is tied to opening the programme account, not to each later purchase.
Bought points are usually used first
Revolut says it generally redeems bought points before earned points. If earned points will expire within the next three months, redemption instead follows expiry order. Check the point activity screen before assuming which balance will be consumed.
Buying RevPoints: direct answers
How do I buy RevPoints in the UK?
Open RevPoints, tap Earn below your balance, select Buy points, choose the package shown in your app and tap Pay. The cash charge comes from your Revolut account balance.
Can I buy RevPoints every month?
Yes. Select Recurring buy under RevPoints and Earn, choose a monthly package and approve it. Revolut charges on the same date each month, or on the last day of shorter months when the start date is the 29th, 30th or 31st.
How much does it cost to buy RevPoints?
There is no fixed public price used by this guide. Revolut shows the available point packages and account-balance charge in the app before payment, and those options can change or vary.
Can I get a refund after buying RevPoints?
Purchased points are generally non-refundable. The terms provide a narrow right to cancel within 14 days of first opening the RevPoints account; unused purchased points can then be refunded. It is not a new refund period for each purchase.
How do I stop a recurring RevPoints purchase?
Open RevPoints, tap Earn, select Recurring buy and tap Deactivate. Check the app afterwards to confirm the next monthly purchase is no longer scheduled.
When is buying RevPoints worth it?
Only consider it for a priced, currently available redemption when the conservative net saving exceeds the cash package cost. Avoid buying speculatively because points have no fixed monetary value.
Are bought RevPoints redeemed before earned points?
Generally yes. If earned points will expire within the next three months, Revolut instead redeems points in expiry order. Check your point activity and expiry dates before redeeming.
