Revolut’s RevPoints loyalty programme lets UK customers earn points on eligible purchases with its debit cards, then redeem them for airline miles and other rewards. Collecting RevPoints does not require an application for a credit card. The best part? You can swap these points for Avios. Source: Revolut UK homepage and RevPoints page, checked 23 September 2026.
In this updated guide, we’ll explain how the earning rate changes by Revolut plan and whether RevPoints are a useful way to increase your Avios balance and help you book your dream Avios reward seats.

Activate RevPoints, then use your Revolut debit card for eligible purchases. Your base earning rate depends on your plan.
Revolut’s current UK plan comparison gives these rates and monthly prices:
Revolut says the points available for an earning activity may change and will be shown in the app. The old new-customer and upgrade bonus figures have therefore been removed because we could not verify them on Revolut’s current public UK pages.

You need to activate RevPoints before you can earn or redeem them. Open the RevPoints section in the Revolut app and follow the prompts. Source: Revolut RevPoints Terms, checked 23 September 2026.
Revolut’s UK Help Centre says you can transfer RevPoints to Avios programmes, including British Airways Club, at 1 RevPoint to 1 Avios. Source: Revolut UK Help Centre, checked 23 September 2026. The app shows the live transfer details before you confirm. Transferred Avios can help you book flights with Avios and enjoy upgrades, subject to the airline programme’s rules, availability, taxes, fees and charges.
RevPoints can also be used for other rewards shown in the Revolut app. Revolut’s public UK page currently highlights these categories:

So, can RevPoints help you book flights with Avios? Yes. How quickly you collect enough depends heavily on your Revolut plan. For a separate look at the voucher benefit on BA Amex cards, read the BA Companion Voucher rules.
Compared with credit-card programmes like American Express, the main distinction is that RevPoints are earned on eligible Revolut debit-card spending. Collecting them does not require an application for a credit card. That describes how the product works; it is not a promise about your financial position.

The rates do not support a blanket claim that every Revolut customer earns only 1 Avios per £10. Standard and Plus earn 1 RevPoint per £10, Premium earns 1 per £4, Metal earns 1 per £2, and Ultra earns 1 per £1 of eligible spend. At the current 1:1 transfer rate, the RevPoint figures translate to the same number of Avios. Source: Revolut UK plan comparison, RevPoints page and Help Centre, checked 23 September 2026.
By comparison, the British Airways American Express card earns 1 Avios per eligible £1 spent. It therefore has a higher base earn rate per pound than Revolut Standard, Plus, Premium and Metal. Revolut Ultra matches that base rate after a 1:1 transfer, but Revolut lists Ultra at £55 per month as an introductory offer.

If you already use Revolut, RevPoints can add value to eligible debit-card spending. If your only aim is to maximise Avios per pound, the BA Amex card is more efficient than Revolut Standard, Plus, Premium and Metal, subject to acceptance and your own circumstances. Ultra matches the card’s base rate, but compare the monthly plan price and the other benefits before upgrading purely for points. In short, choose on the figures for your actual plan, not on the old blanket comparison.
