Revolut RevPoints Value: How Much Are Points Worth?

You may be able to redeem RevPoints for airline miles, selected Stays or Experiences bookings, gift cards, Revolut Pay discounts and other rewards available in your account. Each option can have its own redemption conditions and points requirements.

This means that asking how much one RevPoint is worth has no single answer. Instead, it is more useful to ask how much real value a particular reward provides for the number of points required.

In this example, the hypothetical benefit works out to one euro cent per point. A different reward might produce a different result, even if the same number of RevPoints is redeemed.

If you prefer to compare values in cents, multiply the currency amount per point by 100. For example, €0.01 per point is equal to one euro cent per point.

All four rows are invented examples used only to explain the calculation. They are not advertised Revolut redemption rates or a prediction of the rewards available to your account.

Example D provides a greater hypothetical saving per point than Example A. However, the comparison only makes sense if the rewards are genuinely useful to you and the calculated saving reflects a real alternative purchase.

For readers in the UK, the same method works with pounds and pence rather than euros and cents. Avoid comparing currency amounts across countries without considering the relevant exchange rates and local prices.

Revolut offers transfers to participating airline loyalty programmes where available. The conversion ratio is determined by the applicable partner and account conditions. A one-to-one points-to-miles transfer, where offered, does not mean that a mile is worth one euro, one pound or one cent.

Airline miles do not have a universal guaranteed cash value either. A redemption may involve cash taxes, carrier charges, limited award availability or other restrictions.

How to estimate the value of an airline miles redemption

Start by finding the cash price of a comparable flight you would actually purchase. Subtract the unavoidable cash charges attached to the award booking. Divide the remaining saving by the number of RevPoints used, taking the applicable transfer ratio into account.

In this invented scenario, the €200 saving divided by 10,000 RevPoints produces €0.02 per point. If the alternative flight costs less, the charges are higher or the transfer ratio is different, the calculated value changes.

Suppose a room costs €180 through a particular booking offer and 2,000 RevPoints reduce the price to €160. The apparent saving is €20. However, if the same room with comparable conditions costs €165 elsewhere without points, the meaningful additional saving is only €5.

Using the lower comparable cash price, the illustrative benefit would be €5 divided by 2,000 RevPoints, or €0.0025 per point.

This is why comparing the displayed discount alone can overstate the practical value of a Stays redemption. Check the total cost, cancellation rules, room type, included benefits and taxes.

For example, if a hypothetical €15 gift card requires 3,000 RevPoints and you would otherwise make an eligible €15 purchase at that retailer, the illustrative value is €15 divided by 3,000 points, or €0.005 per point.

However, the gift card may be less useful if it has regional restrictions, a short expiry date, excluded products or a minimum purchase requirement. In such cases, the face value is not necessarily equal to your personal benefit.

Revolut’s available brands and redemption conditions depend on the market and offer. Always confirm the applicable rules in the app before exchanging points.

Compare the final amount payable with RevPoints against the best available price without using points. If the merchant offers other discounts, take those into account as well.

For example, a hypothetical checkout saving of £6 for 1,200 RevPoints would produce a calculated benefit of £0.005 per point. This does not mean all Revolut Pay discounts offer the same value.

Where the feature is available, the actual discount and points requirement should be displayed before the redemption is confirmed.

Imagine a hypothetical plan that awards one point per two currency units of eligible spending. If your chosen redemption hypothetically saves one cent per point, that combination provides an illustrative saving of half a cent per two currency units of spending. This is not an official return rate.

Any meaningful comparison must also consider the price of the Revolut plan, whether the spending qualifies and whether the redemption is actually useful to you.

With supported features such as Spare Change or direct point purchases, the customer spends money to obtain points. The purchase cost should therefore be compared with the realistic benefit expected from redeeming them.

For example, if you spend a hypothetical €15 buying points but the reward you receive saves only €10 compared with an equivalent cash purchase, the transaction has not produced a financial saving.

The conversion terms for purchasing RevPoints can depend on the market and applicable programme rules. Never assume that a purchase rate is identical to a guaranteed redemption value.

If the reward involves an external provider, check that provider’s terms and prices as well. The offer details displayed inside Revolut are more relevant to your particular redemption than a generic internet estimate.
