What do they include? The regulations suggest that users can get back some part of the money they spend. Those funds cannot be transfered to a different account, though, and can only be used by the card's owner. When I asked Karol Sadaj, Revolut's manager for Poland, about the new “Perks” program, he said the new solution is not being rolled out yet. - There are tests that involve a small group of users in Great Britain - he explained.
My sources tell me that Revolut has not yet decided what the final shape of the “Perks” program will be. Right now, the company is testing a solution in which the user will get a refund ranging from 5 to 50 percent for their next purchase, for instance in a cafe, if they use their Revolut card there a number of times in a specified time period.
