Prepaid Travel Cards guide

Thanks revolut. My card now works at ATMs! Overall, although an inconvenience to start with id say the card and app are great. It's good to have someone to contact immediately through the app and to be able to see exactly what money we have available.

I was signing up for Revolut using the MSE promo code but get the message, 'Sorry, we've run out of invitations for this code. Stay tuned and we'll get to you soon.'

What exactly does this mean- is the promo code finished entirely, or will there be more "in stock"? That £5 could be a couple of beers

Hi lkatz,

The promotion is definitely still running, we're looking at what happened now.

If possible can you please send us a screenshot to support@revolut.com?

Then you'll be able to get your beers!

No need- just tried again and it seems to have accepted it. Thanks for quick reply!

I have just returned from Majorca and the Revolut card worked well. I didn't get the £5 bonus when I topped up using the MSE code though. The app works really well and gives you all the information you need - it's really clear to see where your money has been spent and you get a great rate for Euros. If you will be topping up with more than £1000 pounds I would recommend doing this and verifying your identity before you go. I got the app to scan my passport and photograph me but it wouldn't verify, so I had to resort to my usual worse rate debit card for the last few days.
I would definitely recommend the card though.

I have just returned from Spain & used the Revolut card as highlighted on MSE.
Very easy to use, you can load in sterling & transfer as and when you need or the rate is good to either Euro's or USD. Surplus sterling can be withdrawn free at an ATM.
Got the £5 bonus detailed. Exchange rate has been better than FairFX or Post Office having regularly checked.

Hi bargainquest,

Sorry about this. Please send a photo of yourself from eye level with glasses removed, a picture of your ID (front and back) and also a photo of yourself holding the ID next to your face to support@revolut.com. Please set the subject of the email to: KYC ID Verification Sorry for the inconvenience! We are working hard to resolve this. Please also email us with the phone number assigned to your account so we can add the £5.

Have a great day!

Delighted to receive my card today - I'm hoping to use it in ATMs when I go to Dubai. Will I be able to use it straight away, or does it need to be activated?

Hi Kennny,

It will already be activated
