How to Convert Revolut RevPoints to Airline Miles

Instead of exchanging RevPoints directly for a flight, the usual process involves converting them into miles or points held by a participating airline loyalty programme. You can then use those airline rewards according to that programme’s own rules.

Revolut describes conversions at ratios of up to 1:1, depending on the partner. That does not mean every airline partner offers a one-to-one transfer or that one RevPoint is worth one unit of currency.

Because airline miles transfers cannot be reversed after confirmation, it is especially important to research your intended flight, the required miles and any extra charges before transferring your RevPoints.

Transferring points is not the same as purchasing or confirming an airline ticket. Flight availability, mileage prices, taxes and other charges are separate considerations.

A 1:1 ratio means that one RevPoint converts into one airline mile or loyalty point, where that ratio is actually offered. A different partner or offer may use another ratio.

Revolut’s country-specific help information describes transfer limits of at least 1 and up to 999,999 RevPoints per transaction in markets such as Germany. Transfer availability and terms should always be checked for your own market before relying on these limits.

These examples demonstrate the mathematics of a 1:1 transfer only. They do not establish that every airline partner offers a 1:1 ratio, that every listed transfer amount is available, or that the received miles can book a particular flight.

The conversion ratio determines the number of airline miles credited. It does not determine the financial value of those miles, which depends on how they are later redeemed.

Revolut explicitly states that only supported airline programmes can be linked and that availability varies by country. Therefore, a programme available in the UK is not automatically available in Germany, Ireland, France or Spain.

Before planning a transfer, check whether your preferred airline loyalty programme appears in your app, whether you have an eligible account with that provider and which conversion ratio applies.

Choose your airline programme through the RevPoints section of the app and provide the existing loyalty membership number. If you do not already have an account, Revolut may direct you to the airline programme to register before returning to link it.

The name on the airline loyalty account must match the name associated with your Revolut account. Revolut also highlights the importance of matching the order of names where applicable.

You cannot link a partner’s, friend’s or family member’s loyalty account to your RevPoints merely to send your points directly to them.

Can you unlink an airline account?

Yes. Revolut’s help instructions describe unlinking an associated loyalty account through the Airline Miles section, including a swipe-left option in the relevant interface. Unlinking does not remove miles already transferred into the airline programme.

If your points have been deducted but the airline miles do not appear after two working days, Revolut advises contacting the receiving airline loyalty programme directly and providing the transfer reference.

Because processing times can vary, avoid planning a last-minute transfer based on an assumption that the miles will always arrive instantly.

Some Revolut app interfaces may display suggested flights or examples of how miles could be used. Such suggestions should not be treated as confirmed airline award availability.

Revolut’s flight-booking guidance for supported markets explains that the flight reservation itself is completed through the airline rather than automatically confirmed by the RevPoints transfer.

Airline miles prices and available reward seats can change. A flight shown before the transfer may no longer be available when your miles arrive.

Once you know the actual saving, you can divide it by the RevPoints needed to obtain the miles. This produces an illustrative value per RevPoint for the specific booking, not a general conversion rate.

In this fictional scenario, the net saving would be €240, calculated as the €300 comparable ticket price minus €60 in unavoidable award charges. Dividing €240 by 12,000 RevPoints gives €0.02 per point.

If the equivalent cash flight costs less, the airline charges more or a different transfer ratio applies, the calculated value per RevPoint changes.

The airline programme may apply its own mileage expiry dates, activity rules, account restrictions or other conditions. These rules can differ significantly between providers.

Do not assume that transferring RevPoints resets all validity deadlines indefinitely or guarantees that the airline miles will remain usable for a particular future flight.

Before transferring, review the expiry conditions of the receiving programme and compare them with the relevant deadlines for the RevPoints already in your Revolut account.

Our website currently covers RevPoints information for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Ireland and Spain. The country linked to your Revolut account is important when checking programme availability.

Even when two countries offer transfers to airline loyalty programmes, the available airlines, conversion terms and rewards may not be identical.

For this reason, the Revolut app should be used to confirm the specific airline partners and rates available for your account rather than relying on a general international partner list.

If you cannot link an airline account because of mismatched personal details, review the name registered with both providers and contact the relevant support team as needed.
