Careful now - she’ll want her own if you’re not careful!

got 5 friends to sign up yesterday, all deposited a tenner and ordered a card, no notification that i got a free metal sub.

Got on to support, and they said that the 5 people i got to sign up, didn't actually order a card.....argh!

Probably don't want to pay for one. After a couple of weeks they should be offered a free physical card.

Different promotions I think? There is a promotion on at the moment for friends to get free cards and then there’ll probably be another in a couple of weeks to get five friends to sign up (and I think pay for their card) and you get a metal one.

Usually it will say what the error is, like post code for example.

It's usually the postcode. Make sure it has a space not a hyphen

Well that was a bit of a waste of harassing 5 people to sign up. The effort put in to get them to sign up, and it’s free.

I can’t imagine the hassle of trying to get the 5 of them to pay!!!

I watched the 5 people sign up, and order cards, customer service is saying the 5 of them didn’t order cards anyway!

Is revolut having issues for anyone else? The app crashes on start up for me. I tried deleting it and reinstalling and that didn’t help. Was fine yesterday.

Well to my surprise I just got the welcome to metal email.

Can’t see the gold or rose gold cards to order tho!

Hopefully this isn't something that comes up all the time (I did use the search function but it's boards, so...) .

Someone was to transfer some funds to me today. Unknown to me, they did it by Revolut but I do not have an account.

Apparently there was an option in their Revolut app to pay anyone in their contact list ...they scrolled down to my name, transferred the money and they didn't realise til too late that I wasn't on Revolut.

What will happen now? I have received no notifications etc.

I'm quite surprised that it's even possible unless both parties have an account tbh

Get them to contact support

I've just looked at my wife's Revolut app on her phone and it definitely seems to have the option to transfer funds to contacts who clearly don't have a Revolut account. Seems odd alright

IIRC the sender should be able to send you a link where you can enter your account details, should revert in 24 hours if you don't claim it.

I've just been fiddling with it out of curiosity. You create a payment link in the app and send it to the contact. Not sure what exactly the recipient has to do. As above, it expires in a day.

Do you know if they sent it to your email address or phone number? Either way if the sender completed the operation fully in their revolut app you should have received either an email or sms with a link (or the sender could have shared the link via another method (whatsapp for example), OR they may not have sent you the email/sms by not actually sharing the link with you - ie they created the link to send you the money but forgot to actually send the link toy you - in which case they can "resend" the link from the app.


Either way if they did successfully send you the payment link you should have received an email or sms or whatsapp message with a link something like:-

http:/rev/money/xxxxxxxxxx

When you click on this link you have two options:

1. Get money via Revolut (you will be prompted to download app and set up a new revolut account)
2. Get money via Bank Transfer (you need to supply name, email address and bank details and your bank will receive te money in 1 - 5 days)

I got this about a politician (from the same county but not in my electoral area) who I share a surname with. I’m not related to them either.

Dardania

Are they trying to figure out if you’re politically exposed people?

I assume they are, what impact does it have if you are. Surely it shouldnt matter as a Revolut used who you are related to or if you are a politician or famous person yourself even.
