Does revolut accept balance transfers/money transfers/0% purchases

FIRSTTIMER

So I can transfer money from 0% cards to revolut for free? (excluding bt fees)

Revolut isn’t a credit card.

You can top it up by transferring money from your current account.

You can also top it up by doing balance/money transfer or purchases from a credit card - so can I get 0% cash using it?

Where did you read that?

You cannot do a balance transfer from a credit card to a revolut card.
Or a “purchases” transfer, whatever that is!?

You could use a money transfer card yes in which you could transfer the money to your current account first then to your Revolut card.

But then you incur a money transfer fee and you also have to pay the money transfer balance back to the credit card which will incur interest unless you’re on an interest free promo

What have you the impression you could do a balance transfer to it?

It’s a pre-paid top up card not a credit card.

Which card?

You can top-up a Revolut account via Credit Card and some cards process it as a purchase, rather than a cash advance.

If it's a 0% purchase card and your card issuer classes it as a purchase (most seem too), then job done. Revolut allows this if you then spend the funds, e.g. allowing you to spend on a Credit Card to places that only accept Debit Cards (pre-paid).

It's against their T&C to top-up and then transfer the funds to your bank account.

If that's your intention the real question is why do you want to get a cash advance? Transferring from a credit card to Revolut is clearly an attempt to get a cash advance... There are better, and non-falling foul of T&C methods of accomplishing this!
