20% RevPoints-to-Avios bonus

IHG launch welcome offers

The temporary boosted rate applies to qualifying Elite cards obtained during the 30 June–25 August 2026 launch window.
BA Holidays voucher offer
Eligible packages can return 25% of redeemed Avios after a claim within 72 hours, subject to voucher caps and terms.

20% RevPoints-to-Avios bonus runs 17–30 August 2026
The 7 August no-active watch is resolved: official terms v1.2.1 opened a 20% bonus from 17 to 30 August 2026 for eligible existing Personal customers in the UK, Ireland and Spain, transferring to BA, Aer Lingus, Iberia or Vueling.
What it means: the 17–30 August 2026 terms allow 1–999,999 RevPoints per transaction and up to two business days for the bonus. For the 17–30 August 2026 offer, direct Qatar transfers are ineligible and Spanish bonus withholding applies. See the dated 17–30 August 2026 tracker for the onward Qatar route and 0.96p planning math.

Emirates publishes 2:1 RevPoints terms in 31 European markets
The official rate is 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile, minimum 2, with a 500,000-Mile yearly cap waived for Ultra, Metal and Private. Emirates says credit arrives within one business day.
What it means: the UK is absent from both Emirates’ eligibility list and Revolut UK’s public airline directory. UK availability remains unconfirmed—check your app.
UK public transfer directory: 9 airline and 5 hotel programmes
Revolut UK’s public help pages still listed nine airline loyalty programmes and five hotel programmes when rechecked on 7 August.
What it means: this is a dated directory observation, not a claim that all 14 programmes launched then. Availability and rates can vary by account, so the app remains the final check.
Official airline listOfficial hotel listCompare the programmes
UK personal credit cards are planned, not yet available
Revolut still says it does not offer personal credit cards, loans or overdrafts in Great Britain. Its UK CEO said five credit cards were planned “soon”, but no launch date or specifications are public.
What it means: this is a product-launch watch, not a licence-approval watch. PRA mobilisation restrictions were lifted on 11 March 2026.
Current UK availabilityOfficial bank launch4 June interview reportUK launch tracker
Current UK lounge terms name LoungeKey, not DragonPass
Revolut’s current UK airport-lounge terms use LoungeKey. The UK terms do not state a switch date.
What it means: treat this as a dated verification, not a claimed May or June launch. Check the app for the current network.
Secondary sale was reported at an implied $115 billion valuation
Revolut confirmed an employee and early-investor secondary share sale was under way; Reuters reported that the price implied a $115 billion valuation.
What it means: Revolut had not confirmed the valuation details or completion. This is reported transaction context, not a completed valuation claim.
APRA grants Revolut an Australian banking licence
APRA granted Revolut Payments Australia an authorised deposit-taking institution licence, allowing it to operate as Revolut Bank Australia.
What it means: this is an Australian regulatory event, retained for wider company context; it does not change UK RevPoints terms.
KrisFlyer and Icelandair are absent from the public UK list
Neither Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer nor Icelandair Saga Club appears in Revolut UK’s current public nine-programme airline list.
What it means: do not rely on an advertised public transfer path or assume a rate. We do not claim a launch or removal date because the source provides neither.
Qatar and Turkish publish exact 1:1 RevPoints rates
Partner pages confirm 1 RevPoint = 1 Qatar Avios and 1 RevPoint = 1 Turkish Miles&Smiles Mile.
What it means: the site replaced app-only wording with partner-specific evidence. Still recheck the final Revolut screen before an irreversible transfer.
ALL Accor publishes a 2:1 RevPoints transfer rate
The official partner page states that 2 RevPoints convert to 1 ALL Reward point.
What it means: this is a dated rate observation, not a launch-date claim. Check the final app screen before transferring.
Google Play redemptions offered 20% RevPoints reimbursement
Eligible UK and German customers could receive back 20% of the RevPoints redeemed for a Google Play gift card during the official window.
What it means: the offer required eligible Revolut communication and ended at 12:00 UTC on 6 July. Reimbursement was due within three business days after the period; redemptions were irreversible.
IHG and Revolut launch two UK co-branded debit cards
IHG x Revolut Essential and Elite launched in the UK and earn IHG One Rewards points, not RevPoints.
What it means: this is a separate loyalty product. Compare Essential’s £0 subscription with Elite’s £18 monthly fee, earn rules and hotel benefits.
IHG x Revolut launch welcome offer
Sign up by 25 August: Essential offers 10,000 IHG points after £1,000 qualifying spend in three months; Elite offers 30,000 after £3,000 in three months.
What it means: these are IHG One Rewards points, not RevPoints. The listed underlying offers are 5,000 for Essential and 20,000 for Elite—not 15,000 for Elite.
Etihad Guest leaves UK Amex Membership Rewards
UK Amex stopped accepting Membership Rewards transfers to Etihad Guest after the published cutoff.
What it means: the UK Amex-to-Etihad route ended; this does not imply every Etihad points channel ended.
Spain won; eligible completers could receive up to 190 RevPoints
Spain beat Argentina 1–0 after extra time and finished the tournament with 14 goals. Eligible completers receive 50 baseline RevPoints; Spain pickers may receive 140 more.
What it means: 190 is the maximum, not a guaranteed payment. The 140-point bonus comes from an 80-million-point pool allocated by each eligible customer’s 48th-payment timestamp; the terms give no precise credit date.
BA increases Reward Flight cash components
British Airways changed the cash component for new Reward Flight bookings while saying the Avios element was unchanged.
What it means: old bookings were unaffected. Compare the live Avios-and-cash choices for the exact route, date and cabin.
BA Holidays adds a Companion Voucher use
Eligible Flight + Hotel or Flight + Car bookings can receive 25% of redeemed Avios back after the claim process.
What it means: submit the form within 72 hours. The cap is 50,000 Avios for a standard voucher or 200,000 for Premium Plus; this is separate from normal Reward Flight use.
Flying Blue introduces one 24-month validity date
Most Miles now share one validity date, and eligible flight or commercial earning activity extends the whole balance by 24 months.
What it means: exceptions apply for listed member groups and Germany. Spending Miles is not stated as qualifying activity; check your account’s date.
UK RevPoints Terms 2.3 change purchased-points rules
The fixed £0.02 SpareChange wording became an app-shown rate, unused purchased points gained a 14-day cancellation right and recovery rules expanded.
What it means: check the live purchase rate and read the refund and negative-balance clauses before buying points.
TAP Miles&Go offered a 20% transfer bonus
TAP’s official en-GB campaign page offered 20% extra Miles&Go Miles from 10 to 16 March; a timestamped 12 March archive retains the dates.
What it means: this is historical evidence, not a live rate or a signal that another bonus is due. The earlier 4–10 May row is no longer counted because no stable primary archive was available at release preflight.
RevPoints to Avios offered a 20% bonus
Existing eligible personal customers in the UK, Ireland and Spain could receive 20% extra Avios during the two-week promotion.
What it means: the offer ended on 8 March. Do not assume a bonus applies unless it appears in current official terms or your account.
Terms add customer-to-customer sending and receiving
Version 2.2 added receiving RevPoints from and sending RevPoints to another Revolut customer as supported categories.
What it means: do not describe this as a free self-serve transfer. Current friend redemption requires Support and a 10% fee.
Aegean begins accepting RevPoints transfers at 1:1
Aegean announced the partnership on 17 October and accepted Miles+Bonus transfer requests from 22 October at 1 RevPoint = 1 award mile.
What it means: this was a partnership launch, not a bonus. Aegean is absent from the current public UK list, and no UK removal date is claimed.
Turkish Miles&Smiles offered a 50% bonus
Eligible conversions received 50% extra Miles&Smiles Miles during the retained promotion period.
What it means: the offer ended on 1 June 2025. It does not establish a cadence or current entitlement.
Executive Club becomes The British Airways Club
British Airways changed its loyalty-programme name; its reward currency remains Avios.
What it means: current guidance uses The British Airways Club while retaining “Executive Club” as a search alias.
No documented changes match those filters. Reset the filters or broaden the search.
Pattern, not promise: the 17–30 August 2026 Avios bonus is the eighth primary-source-supported event and the second consecutive August Avios offer after 13–24 August 2025. The other intervals remain irregular, so this does not establish an annual calendar.
How this change desk is maintained
Evidence hierarchy
- Official legal terms and dated promotion conditions.
- Official Revolut, airline, hotel or card-partner pages.
- Dated account observations only when retained evidence exists.
- Incomplete archive records stay visibly incomplete.
Freshness rules
- The Avios lead watch was rechecked 19 August 2026; older records retain their own verification dates.
- Deadline labels are rechecked against their source before publication.
- Ended events retain their official window and closing status.
- Event dates and fact-verification dates are never conflated.
Programme availability can vary by country and account. The public 17–30 August 2026 Avios terms cover eligible existing Personal customers in the UK, Ireland and Spain; they do not guarantee that every account screen is identical. Older records retain their own verification dates.
RevPoints news and change questions
What changed most recently in RevPoints?
A public 20% RevPoints-to-Avios bonus opened on 17 August 2026 and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 August 2026 for eligible existing Personal customers in the UK, Ireland or Spain.
Is a RevPoints transfer bonus active now?
Yes. A public 20% RevPoints-to-Avios bonus runs from 17 to 30 August 2026 for eligible direct transfers to The British Airways Club, Aer Lingus AerClub, Iberia Club or Vueling Club.
How often is the RevPoints change desk updated?
There is no claimed fixed update cadence. Each release displays its current-state check date, and an offer is labelled active only after its public source is rechecked. Every entry separates the event date from the fact-verification date.
Does every change on this page affect UK customers?
No. The desk has a UK focus but may retain a wider-market event when it helps explain a UK offer or programme. Every entry names its market, and the market filter can restrict the feed to changes that affect the UK.
What do active, current, ended and historical mean?
Active means a dated public offer is inside its official window. Current means a rule, product or observed public status still applies. Ended means a promotion has passed its stated end. Historical means the entry explains the record but is not a current entitlement.
Can I rely on a targeted or app-only RevPoints offer?
Only for the account in which it appears and only under its live terms. This public desk excludes app-only or targeted claims unless dated evidence is retained, and it never treats one account’s offer as universally available.
Can a RevPoints transfer partner disappear?
Yes. Public directories and account availability can change. Check the current Revolut list and your own app before planning a transfer, and never infer a launch or removal date merely because a programme appears or disappears during a later check.
Does this archive predict the next RevPoints bonus?
No. The 17–30 August 2026 Avios offer is the eighth documented public event and the second consecutive August Avios bonus, but the other intervals remain irregular and do not establish a reliable annual schedule.
