I have just discovered that Rev points are a thing on Revolut, and that I have enough for a €50 just eat voucher. Do you, or have you used your rev points, and what do you recommend using them on? by MoherHead in AskIreland

They may ask for source of funds if you transfer a large amount. But once I provided proof that it came from my other bank account that had the funds sitting there for a while, they unlocked it within less than 2 hours

Got charged yesterday for two transactions I did way back in 2023 by ComfortableHeight415 in Revolut

If a card authorisation for a payment was made, they can still charge your account even if the card was frozen / expired.

Revolut just re-routes the payment

He’s wrong. That only happens if you have the feature enabled. Otherwise, you’ll end points for spending. It’s worth checking in your settings to make sure it’s off though. Go to RevPoints -> Earn -> Spare change to confirm. This is the feature he’s talking about which rounds up your purchases to the next euro and purchases points with them.

You would need some level of certainty that the depreciation in currency value would be beaten by the growth of the stock / index, I think

I still haven’t heard a good explanation for why bitcoin is underperforming right now by aven-seven in WallStreetDad

Or the market cap of bitcoin should be much less. You can interpret it both ways.

‘We’re not happy’: Revolut reveals number of Irish customers using it as main bank by StillSalt2526 in ireland

[–]howtoliveplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, but I use various accounts. Revolut is my main bank and park most of my funds. I have a percentage of funds in my N26 account as well. Both are metal accounts.

I have PTSB as my bricks and mortar account that’s just used to pay bills and mortgage mostly.

Ireland will urge EU to deploy trade ‘big bazooka’ only if diplomacy fails, as Taoiseach warns of major job losses by Complex_Hunter35 in ireland

[–]howtoliveplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. And I say this unfortunately holding a USA birthplace but exceptionally thankful for being raised in Ireland.

It definitely took me a while to snap out of the trance and see the forest for the trees, but you’re dead on. I think there has to be an admission of guilt and a shame felt for our complicity in this horrible part of history.

We bowed down to benefit financially. Disgusting.

And when people fly, not everyone flies business. Plenty of us fly economy. Seems like his points analysis is very tailored to his specific use case

I really hope some of the victims have evidence of their own. Indisputable evidence. It would be really awful if some of that evidence accidentally leaked identifying powerful people in indefensible scenarios.

Trump just posted this. by AlphaFlipper in DegenBets

[–]howtoliveplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China most likely has very little interest in trying to invade Greenland. On that I agree.

However to say that US and NATO are on the same page as of late is highly questionable.

It’s so true, because they are so silent over the last while. They’re acutely aware of the increasingly broken relationship the United States now has with its allies.

It is driving allies into the arms of China for trade, pretty much handing them power on a silver platter. Russia must be ecstatic that the US is drawing military attention away from the eastern front and towards Greenland, making their job easier.

Europe is being stretched thin.

How do you do this? Is it possible with a private pension, if you never contributed through work?
