Turning RevPoints into Gift Cards: A Comprehensive Guide 2026

Gift cards are the most straightforward way to turn your RevPoints into something useful right now — no flights to book, no hotel stays to plan, no loyalty programme hoops to jump through. If you shop at any of the available brands — like Apple, Amazon, Ryanair, and dozens of others — your everyday Revolut spending is already earning you discounts. The only step left is to redeem them.

Here's everything you need to know about exchanging your RevPoints for gift cards — how it works, what you can get, and how to make the most of it.

What Are RevPoints: A Quick Recap

RevPoints is Revolut's loyalty programme which transforms ordinary transactions and everyday spending into opportunities for savings and perks. Every time you pay with your Revolut card, you earn points. The earning rate depends on your plan:

Standard and Plus: 1 point per £/€10 spent
Premium: 1 point per £/€4 spent
Metal: 1 point per £/€2 spent
Ultra: 1 point per £/€1 spent

You can also earn points through spare change round-ups (the app rounds up each purchase to the nearest whole number and converts the difference into points), in-app challenges, Revolut Pay purchases (which give double points), and bookings through Stays and Experiences. Once earned, points are valid for 3 years.

What Gift Cards Can You Get

Inside the Revolut app, you can exchange RevPoints for gift cards across several categories. The exact selection depends on your country of registration, but here are some commonly available brands and categories to give you an idea:

Tech & Electronics — Apple, Nintendo, Xbox
Online shopping — Amazon, Google Play
Travel — Ryanair, Lufthansa, EasyJet
Fashion and Sports — ASOS, Nike, Adidas
Streamings — Netflix
Transportation — Uber
Hotels & Stays — Airbnb
Beauty & skincare — Dermalogica

Plus various local and regional brands depending on your market. New brands get added periodically. If you didn't find what you wanted last time, it's worth checking again.

The best way to see the current selection is to open RevPoints → Gift Cards in your app.

How Much Do Gift Cards Cost in Points

The exchange rates are fixed and visible in the app before you confirm anything. These are the standard rates shown in the app across most brands and markets:

Gift card value table

To put this into perspective with a real example: say you're on a Metal plan and spend around £/€2,000 per month through your Revolut card (with 1 point per £/€2 spent). Over six months, that's roughly 6,000 points from card spending alone — before spare change round-ups or bonus challenges. That’s enough for a £/€25 gift card plus a £/€10 one, with a few points left over.

On Ultra (1 point per £/€1 spent), the same spending pattern would give you around 12,000 points in six months — enough for a £/€50 card plus £/€25 and £/€10 ones, with some points to spare.

Even on Standard (1 point per £/€10 spent), points add up over time. If your regular monthly spending through Revolut is around £/€1,500, you'll accumulate roughly 1,800 points in a year. That's a £/€10 gift card from your everyday purchases — not life-changing, but it's value you'd otherwise leave on the table.

Two Types of Revolut Gift Cards

Revolut offers two kinds of gift cards, and they work quite differently. Understanding the difference will save you confusion.

Code-redeemable gift cards are the classic format. You exchange your points, receive a promo code, and enter it at checkout on the brand's website.

Auto-applied gift cards skip the code entirely. Here's how they work in practice: say you redeem 1,400 points for a £/€10 auto-applied card at a certain brand. Later, you make a £/€35 purchase at that brand and pay with your Revolut card. The £/€10 gift card amount is then automatically credited back to your Revolut account — no codes to remember or copy.

Auto-applied cards require you to pay in the same currency as the gift card. If you hold multiple currency accounts or shop across borders, code-redeemable cards may be more straightforward.

Not every brand offers both types. When you select a brand in the app, check the ‘How it works’ section to see which option is available.

How to Redeem RevPoints for Gift Cards: Step by Step

The process takes about a minute:

Open the Revolut app
Tap ‘RevPoints’ on the bottom menu
Select ‘Gift Cards’
Choose the brand you want
Pick the amount of RevPoints to exchange
Tap ‘Redeem’

For code-redeemable cards, copy the code and use it at the brand's checkout. For auto-applied cards, just pay with your Revolut card at that merchant and the discount is applied automatically.

To access your previously redeemed cards at any time, go to RevPoints → Gift Cards → tap ‘My Cards’ in the top right corner.

Expiry Dates and Limitations

Auto-applied gift cards expire 1 year from the day you redeem them. Code-redeemable cards may have their own expiry terms set by the brand.

Gift cards are non-refundable. Once you tap Redeem, you can't cancel, return, or exchange the card for cash. This applies to both types.

So before committing, double-check three things:

You've selected the right brand
You've chosen the right amount
For auto-applied cards, you'll realistically shop at that merchant within the next year

If a code doesn't work at checkout, you'll need to contact the brand directly — not Revolut.

RevPoints expire 3 years after you earn them. The app highlights points that will expire within 90 days, giving you time to convert them before they're gone.

Gift Cards vs. Airline Miles

You might have seen that RevPoints can also convert 1:1 into airline miles with programmes like Flying Blue (KLM, Air France) and Avios (British Airways, Iberia). For frequent flyers, this can stretch further per point — especially on long-haul or business-class redemptions.

But airline miles come with their own complexity: availability restrictions, blackout dates, and the fact that some airlines only let you cover a portion of your ticket with miles. Gift cards, by contrast, are instant, predictable, and useful the moment you redeem them.

The choice depends on how you spend. If you fly regularly and know how to work airline loyalty programmes, miles may give you more value. If you'd rather get a straightforward discount at a store you already use, gift cards are the simpler and more reliable option.

Tips for Getting More Out of Your Points

Time your redemptions. If a big purchase is coming — a new phone, a birthday gift, a seasonal wardrobe refresh — redeem points for the relevant card beforehand. You'll effectively get a discount on something you planned to buy anyway.

Don't let points expire. If your balance is approaching its 3-year deadline, converting to a gift card for a brand you use regularly preserves value that would otherwise disappear.

Think about your plan. Higher-tier plans earn points dramatically faster. If most of your monthly spending already goes through Revolut, upgrading your plan could mean the difference between one £/€10 card per year and several £/€25 cards.
