I am on the Metal plan, as I spend a lot of time outside the EEU, and it really saves me tons of FX fees. I received an email from Revolut talking about RevPoints. One of the things said in the email is this: "We’ve replaced cashback with a new points programme offering 1 point per €2 spent on your Revolut card as a Metal customer. Then, when you’re ready to convert them, get 1 air mile for every point. Or for discounts on holiday accommodation, you could, for example, exchange 10,000 points for up to €200 off your dream Stay." I just checked, and I am still receiving cashback for my card payments. As they are outside of the EEU, they're 1%, although there is a monthly cap equivalent to the price of the subscription, which is €18.99 in my case. I'm just wondering if I join the RevPoints program, will I lose my cashback earning abilities? Because that seems a lot more attractive to me right now.

I have an Amex Platinum card and lounge access these cards offer is useless. Out of the 6 or 7 times I've tried to access a lounge, I've only managed to get in once. Save your money and don't bother if this is what you're after. They are a scam that you'll be very lucky to redeem.

Hi there, sorry just a quick question... to use the flight lounge, do I need to have my flight with the company or even flying with a different company I can use the lounge having Amex ? thank you!

If you get the Amex Gold, this also gives you a Priority Pass card which arrives in the mail a bit later (or you can get a digital version right away). You can use this to enter Priority Pass lounges regardless of which airline you're flying with. The first 4 visits every membership year are free.

Hi there. First of all, thanks for your videos. I find them to be very insightful and informative! I want to pick your brain on this one, if you don’t mind. I have a AMEX gold card. It’s anniversary is on August 21. I already called AMEX and they offered me 12,000 points to keep the card. I have already received those points as I easily spent with the amount of money they want to in order to get the points. I also have the Amex British Airways premium plus card - I love it! I called AMEX twice trying to upgrade my gold card to the platinum card but they won’t do it. I travel multiple times a year and I find the benefits of the platinum card very good for my daily needs (lounge and car insurance alone makes it worthwhile). What would you do if you were on my shoes? I wonder if I should wait until the gold card anniversary date in hopes Amex will offer me an upgrade. I looked around and couldn’t find some similar to the platinum card. TIA Matt
@LoyaltyLlama 11 күн бұрын
Hey Matt! There're a couple of cards that provide unlimited lounge access for <£200 / year, e.g. see kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXK7eoali8Spe68. I'm not aware of any product that would closely match Amex Platinum though (I mean there's Revolut Ultra but it's more expensive and some benefits are quite different - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3bCZZaparlprrs) Please remember to do your own research before making a decision though. I'm only allowed to provide information and not advice on the specific card you should choose.
@adnaanpatel85 15 күн бұрын
Can you cancel it after one month?
@LoyaltyLlama 11 күн бұрын
I can't find anything in their T&Cs but in the past I've seen some products that would charge you a cancellation fee if you've used e.g. lounge passes. So if you want to take out this card just for a short period of time, I'd call them first to double check the cancellation conditions.

Can you use this to pay off an Amex credit card?

Yes, but that won't earn any points, unfortunately, as it falls under "cash like transactions" in their T&Cs: www.revolut.com/legal/RevPoints/

Chase have changed their cash back offer, it now has a qualifying monthly spend, but it now continues month by month. so that's not bad considering it is free.
@LoyaltyLlama 11 күн бұрын
Agreed. For day-to-day spending, I'd pick Chase over Revolut. But I'm hoping to use the latter for large purchases where Chase either doesn't give cashback or it'd go significantly over £15 / month of cashback limit of theirs. E.g. planning to pay my tax bill with HMRC tomorrow. Will use Revolut and see if I get points!

Until recently I had a BA prepaid master card, loved and used it as my everyday card, unfortunately the scheme has now ended rather abruptly. I would love an Amex, but that's never going to happen. So this will be a plausible option. However, the lack of a companion voucher will put people off, or can they pay their amex bill with their debit card and thoretically get points twice? Thanks for the video!
@LoyaltyLlama 11 күн бұрын
Yeah, Revolut can't really compete with dedicated Avios cars (like BAPP with their companion voucher). I see it more as a fallback option that can complement a credit card rather than replace it (unless e.g. you have Ultra and buy in into the whole Revolut ecosystem). Unfortunately, paying off your credit card bill won't generate any points. I suspect that falls under "cash like transactions" in their T&Cs: www.revolut.com/legal/RevPoints/

One even cooler thing to mention for avios favourites is buying using Amex in general whether gold, platinum or ba on the BA store for common brands and giving even greater avios rewards can really make it worth it! One bonus of gold/platinum is the ability to choose how to spend the rewards other cards are generally locked

When i start getting more upgraded credit cards what i should do with the old ones ?
@LoyaltyLlama Ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the question! Personally, I close them unless I still need them for something. The only exception was my first credit card - I still have it as it determines the so called "age of credit" (i.e. how long I've had a credit account for) which is an important part of my credit history. And to be fair, if your new credit card if with the same issuer, they may let you just switch to it, in which case you keep the same credit account and there's no question of what to do with the old card.
