How we verify what we publish

Last verified: 18 July 2026

Every fact on RevPoints Guide is checked against Revolut's official terms, the app itself on a UK account, official announcements, or named points-press coverage we cite on the page — and every fact-bearing page is stamped with the date we last verified it. This page explains exactly where our numbers come from, how often we re-check them, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Where our facts come from

Revolut's official terms. Programme rules — expiry, forfeiture, redemption order, eligibility — come from Revolut's published RevPoints terms. We track versions: UK customers are currently on the terms dated 13 March 2026, and we logged the July 2026 EEA terms wave (effective 10 July in Iceland, from 19 July in the Netherlands) on our news & changes page as it rolled out.

The app itself. Shops rates, buy-points pricing and promotional offers are read directly from the Revolut app on a UK account. Our Shops index is a full in-app sweep of 363 brands captured on 10 July 2026; where the app truncates a brand name, we show it exactly as displayed and mark it, rather than guessing.

Official announcements and named press. For launches we can't fully observe in-app — like the IHG × Revolut cards — we verify against the official announcement and name the outlets we relied on directly on the page, so you can check them yourself.

How we value points

Our per-point value figures (roughly 1–2p via airline transfers, around 1p on Stays, about 0.85p via Accor — a sterling equivalent of a euro-denominated rate, so it moves with the exchange rate — around 0.7p on gift cards and 0.5p on eSIMs) are estimates: ranges where the data supports them, clearly approximate figures elsewhere. They're anchored to things that can be checked: gift-card face values, fixed partner rates like Accor's €0.02 per ALL point (RevPoints transfer at 2:1, which is what produces the ~0.85p), and published mile valuations. Your redemption may land outside the range — no value on this site is ever presented as a guarantee; they're estimates for guidance, not financial advice.

Rules we write by

The answer comes first. Every page opens with the direct answer, including negative ones — "No, you can't convert RevPoints to cash" is a full page, not a buried footnote.

Currencies are never silently converted. Pounds and euros are stated separately; where a conversion matters we say it depends on the exchange rate.

Single-source claims are labelled. If a fact rests on one source, we attribute it in the sentence rather than presenting it as settled.

Dates on everything. Every fact-bearing page carries a "last verified" stamp, and every entry on the news log is dated.

Re-checking and corrections

Shops rates are volatile, so we re-check the app monthly and log changes. Time-boxed facts — promotion deadlines, welcome-offer windows — are tracked with explicit end dates, and we update them as those dates pass. And when we find an error in our own published work, we fix the live page rather than leaving it to age: we've corrected our own earlier claims (including an earn-rate description on our earn-more guide) and will keep doing so.

Independence

RevPoints Guide is an independent resource. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Revolut, or by any airline, hotel or loyalty programme we cover. If that ever changes for any page, it will say so on that page.
