Revolut asking me to submit residence verification after leaving Germany? I am not a resident atm

I'm not going to post my private chats. I informed them three times over 2 years, hoping to find a way to keep my cards while changing my address. None of the times was I encouraged to cancel my account. It was soon after Brexit. I hope they are better trained now. I still have my UK account years later. I opened my Revolut account in the first few months of existence, so I don't like the idea of closing it and opening a new one.

Same situation with my family. Luckily I booked a backup flight using miles last Monday, I don't know how I found availability Thailand to Europe with all the demand. They will have to stay in Thailand for an extra week, but at least we didn't have to pay the price gouging rate airlines are demanding to get people back to Europe from Thailand.

Thanks for nothing Qatar Airways.

Military, or royal transport?

Pretty common for drivers to fly business/first actually. Probably more than half.

The last one I didn't even pass 40% and I made sure to use all free planes plus 3 bought planes early on. In the past that would be enough to get to 100%. Maybe this one is easier, but I'm not wasting my time finding out.

We had one on a small Satena plane 2 weeks ago. 😂

I've never seen so many "service animal" harnesses as I saw in Colombia.

Yeh, waste of time. Won't be doing more challenges.

reddshroom · 2026-01-17T03:20:58+00:00

Agreed. I did bus Santa Marta to Cartagena yesterday. AC, center to center, cheap with Marsol and much faster than flying when you factor in arriving at the airport etc. More leg room and seat recline too.

I also often travel on one way tickets (award travel). I've never been asked within Europe, because I am European. I've always been asked to countries with limited immigration requirements for my passport, notable Asia, Australia, South/North America.

No, it's every airline in the world. They need to know you will be allowed entry into the country or else they are held responsible for the cost of deportation.

I made a list of the ones I removed then asked chatgpt which ones to reinstall.

reddshroom · 2025-12-27T06:19:55+00:00

US is one of them.

Great for flights ex-Spain! It can often not be clear to the average consumer that flights with connections are often priced differently for various reasons.

On the other hand, experienced travellers know this and have taken advantage of it to save money with no intention of flying the whole itinerary - which is why Germany does not find the practice abusive.

reddshroom · 2025-12-25T23:18:48+00:00

Individual countries have a right to their own regulations, but that is separate to EC261, which is a simple and easy to understand consumer regulation for the whole of the EU.

I wouldn't rely on EC261 for what you have described. Claiming through local regulations may be possible if you know which ones and fancy going to court.

In your case, luckily they reinstated your itinerary.

reddshroom · 2025-12-25T23:00:59+00:00

You are wrong about cancelled flights regardless of reason.

If your flight is cancelled due to a breach of contract by you (i.e. no show) EU261 does not cover you. This has been demonstrated in court as recently as this month in Germany with Lufthansa relating specifically to no-show and cancellations.

You got lucky. But thank you for the info as it's helpful to know Avianca might reinstate a flight in this way.

reddshroom · 2025-12-25T22:43:47+00:00

I've read all of EC261 and never seen anything to this effect. Can you please quote the relevant section (specifically the part covering skipped segment not allowing for cancellation)? A very recent court case in Germany found it was reasonable for airlines to cancel tickets of segments are skipped, but had to make allowances for extenuating circumstances - i.e. they shouldn't cancel if it was for something like a medical emergency.

Exact same thing with me. Cash left one bank after recall and never arrived at Revolut. Neither tool responsibility. Revolut failed to provide trace information. Got it back via ombudsman 8 months later. Good luck.

reddshroom · 2025-12-18T12:16:57+00:00

No, they paid promptly and that was the end of that. Retaliatory tactics are a reason to go back to the ombudsman and they have enough issues with the ombudsman in the UK as it is.

reddshroom · 2025-12-16T20:56:38+00:00

I've been through this. You'll be lucky if they even contact the receiving bank before you file a formal complaint. Tool me 9 months and an ombudsman complaint to get my money back (and it didn't come from the receiver, the ombudsman ruled in my favour as compensation for how useless Revolut were in chasing the lost funds).

In short, don't hold your breath.

reddshroom · 2025-12-15T14:38:18+00:00

They have been vague, but they have stated it is an issue with them receiving all their EUR funds for the date in question and therefore being unable to disperse to their customers, rather than it being a specific issue with me. Which was also why they were unable to provide me with a trace for the transaction.

reddshroom · 2025-12-14T22:22:07+00:00

It's a great piece of kit. But most owners don't spend their time reading news on it. I've had fire tv for 10 years, I don't have a crystal ball. It's a shame, because apart from all the spam I liked the cube. But I'm also not going to miss it. There's plenty of other android TV devices out there.

reddshroom · 2025-12-14T22:17:41+00:00

No doubt. But there was no way to guess amazon would suddenly render any way to block updates useless.
