How to earn more RevPoints in the UK
There are five current public routes: eligible Revolut debit-card spend, selected Stays and Experiences, Shops offers, Revolut Pay, and buying points directly or through Spare Change.
Start with activity you already planned to do and compare the live offer in your app. Base card rates are predictable; boosts, merchant eligibility, point-purchase prices and app availability are not.

The five source-backed routes
This page is the canonical earning-methods hub. Each route below is present in Revolut's current UK help or product pages; none is a promise that a particular account will see every activity.
Eligible Revolut debit-card purchases
Base points depend on the Revolut plan. The purchase must be genuine and eligible, and it must be made with the Revolut card. Cash-like activity, transfers, top-ups and several merchant categories do not qualify. Read the eligible-transactions guide before treating a large payment as point-earning spend.
Selected Stays and Experiences
Revolut's UK overview advertises up to 10 points per £1 on a selected Stay and up to 5 points per £1 on a selected Experience. “Up to” and “selected” matter: compare the points shown for the exact booking, price and cancellation terms in the app.
RevPoints Shops offers
Open the merchant inside Shops, activate or enter through the offer, follow the online or in-store instructions and use an allowed payment method. Revolut advertises selected Shops boosts up to 20 points per £1, while its help page describes offer multipliers up to 20 times the debit-card rate. The merchant screen settles the rate for your purchase.
Revolut Pay purchases
Revolut lists its one-click checkout as a way to collect points. The public UK help does not publish one universal extra rate, so use the number shown for your account at the eligible checkout rather than assuming a multiplier.
Direct purchases and Spare Change
These routes acquire points with cash rather than rewarding a purchase for free. Direct packages and the Spare Change exchange rate are shown in the app. Read the buying guide or Spare Change guide before opting in.
Base card earn rates by UK plan
These are the public rates for eligible card spend checked on 19 July 2026. Plan fees and benefits are separate from this arithmetic.
| Plan | Eligible spend for 1 RevPoint | Points from £1,000 eligible spend |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | £10 | 100 |
| Plus | £10 | 100 |
| Premium | £4 | 250 |
| Metal | £2 | 500 |
| Ultra | £1 | 1,000 |
Do not upgrade for points alone without doing the fee maths. Compare the extra annual points at a cautious value with the extra plan cost and the other benefits you will genuinely use. Use the plan break-even table and net-value calculator before changing tier.
Official plan check
Compare Revolut Metal
Metal had the lowest points-only break-even in the guide's central scenario. Check the current fee and included benefits on Revolut before deciding.

The order reduces the chance of paying extra for points or missing an activation requirement.
Confirm RevPoints is active
Open RevPoints in the app and check your balance and activity. You must activate the programme before you can use its features.
Use eligible spend you already planned
Start with genuine purchases rather than manufacturing spend. Check the exclusion list for taxes, utilities, rent, transfers and other high-risk categories.
Compare Shops, Stays and Experiences
Use the exact merchant or booking screen. A larger point headline can still be poor value if the underlying price, refund terms or route is worse.
Check Revolut Pay at checkout
If the merchant presents Revolut Pay, read the live points treatment before approving. Do not infer one rate from another merchant.
Buy only for a defined shortfall
Price the redemption first. Direct purchases or Spare Change should solve a specific shortfall at a lower cost than the benefit you expect to receive.
Refunds can reverse points. Revolut's terms allow a points reversal when the action that earned them is reversed. If spent points are later clawed back, the RevPoints balance can become negative.
Earning RevPoints: direct answers
How can I earn RevPoints in the UK?
Current public UK routes are eligible Revolut debit-card purchases, selected Stays and Experiences bookings, eligible Shops purchases, Revolut Pay, and buying points directly or through Spare Change. Availability and rates can vary, so check the activity in your app before acting.
What are the UK RevPoints base earn rates?
On eligible card spend, Standard and Plus earn 1 RevPoint per £10, Premium 1 per £4, Metal 1 per £2 and Ultra 1 per £1. These are base rates; selected activities can show separate boosts.
Do all Revolut card payments earn RevPoints?
No. A purchase must be genuine and eligible. Transfers, top-ups, cash-like activity and several merchant categories are excluded; returned or cancelled purchases can also have their points reversed.
How do I earn RevPoints with Shops?
Open the merchant in RevPoints Shops, activate or enter through the offer, follow the channel and checkout instructions, and pay with an allowed method. The offer screen controls the live multiplier and deadline.
How many RevPoints can Stays and Experiences earn?
Revolut advertises up to 10 points per £1 on selected Stays and up to 5 points per £1 on selected Experiences. Those are maximums for selected bookings, not a rate promised on every booking.
Do Revolut Pay purchases earn an extra fixed rate?
Revolut lists Revolut Pay as an earning route, but its public UK help does not publish one universal extra rate. Approve an eligible Revolut Pay purchase and use the rate shown for your account.
Does Spare Change give me free RevPoints?
No. Spare Change rounds eligible card payments up and uses the difference to buy points at the exchange rate shown in your app. A multiplier increases the cash amount used.
