    Revolut hotel prices are worse than what you get when booking on other platforms. I ha e ultra and think slow service/and the benefits does not equal the cost of the plan.

    • @SmartMoneywithKai
      @SmartMoneywithKai  Месяц назад

      Hi and I would say it depends, initially I had the same thoughts but in recent times I found cheaper options on Revolut even compared to Booking com Genius 3 plus the RevPoints you get in return. For me I also benefit from all the other great benefits like cashback, airport lounge and partner benefits so it's more than worth it, but I understand it might not be for everyone 👌

      @@SmartMoneywithKai With a lot of other stuff I think it depends on when and where you try to book, I've found hotels cheaper on Revolut than other platforms, and that's without the 10% cashback they offered before, so that was another big bonus. They've since then removed the cashback on stays, and are now removing FIAT cashback. I'll be downgrading my subscription because I don't really use any of the subscriptions they offer either, and have lounge access through other cards. Moving forwards Revolut will still be my main bank for SEPA transfers, and I do need high FX-conversion limits due to my native currency not being EUR, so I'll probably stick with Plus or Premium. All in all I really like Revolut, but for me the price for Metal or Ultra isn't worth it. I'm strongly considering moving to the Nexo card for now.

      Hi and it depends on the airline you transfer it to. Different airlines have different miles, and mile sharing rules so best to just check with your airline. Cheers

      Thanks a lot for sharing Pedro and great insight, did not know about the 3 years, so this is great and should be long enough for most users. How you plan to redeem them? Convert to miles? I am waiting for more clarity on Revolut Pay, that would be nice to use it for that 👌

But I already connected my Flying Blue card to the miles system and if I find a good deal on a next travel flight I'll consider to convert the points in miles. Let's wait and see.

    Hi Kai great video, just a quick question with my standard revolut card I have to turn on spare change round-ups to earn revpoints for spending money. I was wondering if the paid plans (i.e premium, metal and Ultra) allow you to earn revpoints with round ups turned off. That would really incentivize me to upgrade as I don't want to spend money buying revpoints.

    • @SmartMoneywithKai

    Hiii Kai,
    thanks for very Informative video as always. The only thing is stopping me to use Revolute is credit card feature. I have to have credit card because in many places they ask for credit card and it also convenient to way to pay. specially traditional banks are charging too much fees for bank account and credit card with no interest. If they add credit card feature then i would love to switch premium or metal plan for my salary account.

      It is already present in Spain, and the good thing is it also features an extra 0.2% cashback. Hopefully it arrives to your country soon.

    Great video! So I was wondering if 1 RevPoint is 1 air mile, than wouldn’t around 3000 points already be able to cover almost any flight and back in Europe?

    • @giorgospap7615
      @giorgospap7615 Месяц назад +9

      Not really.
      "Airline miles" generally refer not to distances flown, but to a kind of currency, created by airline loyalty programs. It's not 1 to 1 correspondence. For example, with Transavia, for a flight of just over 2500 miles, I needed 55000 "airline" miles to get the ticket for "free"

    • @r1cha4d

      Nope, 3000 airmiles is like 30€ approx on most airlines.
