RevPoints Spare Change Explained
Picture this: you just bought a £/€2.73 cup of coffee. The 27p change which is not rounded to £/€3 could be quietly building your next flight. The Spare Change feature by Revolut transforms everyday transaction round-ups into valuable points, turning forgotten pennies into tangible travel rewards.
How It Works
Spare Change automatically rounds each card purchase to the nearest pound/euro, converting the difference into RevPoints at a rate of 50 points per £/€1 (or £/€0.02 per point). Buy lunch for £/€8.45—it rounds to £/€9.00, and that 55p becomes 27.5 points. Fill petrol for £/€63.12—round to £/€64.00 for 44 points.
The feature works across all your Revolut cards—physical and virtual—catching every eligible purchase automatically. But first you need to enable it manually.
Setting it up takes seconds:
  • Open the Revolut app
  • Go to 'Lifestyle' on the bottom menu
  • Tap the RevPoints icon in the right top corner
  • Tap ‘Get Started’
  • Tap 'Continue' after reading the info on the next screen
  • Decide if you wish to enable Spare Change, if not tap 'Not now'
The Multiplier
Game-Changer
Here's where Spare Change gets really interesting. Revolut lets you pick a multiplier from x1 to x10, which means you can boost your RevPoints accumulation dramatically.
The app gives this example: spend £/€1.10, round up, and £/€0.90 goes to buying 45 RevPoints—SpareChange always exchanges at £/€0.02 per point no matter which plan you’re on. So using that same logic, here's what it looks like.
The Reality Check
Spare Change works brilliantly for frequent small-purchase users: daily coffee runs, lunch spots, transport top-ups, grocery shops. For someone making 40 monthly transactions with average £/€0.5p round-ups will add up like this:
You can easily change the Spare Change multiplier in the app. If you like, you can even tweak it before each purchase to stay in control of your budget

Pro tip

Start with x1 to test the waters. Monitor how much you're setting aside monthly, then adjust the multiplier based on your budget comfort and points goals. For active spenders comfortable with automated savings, even modest multipliers generate thousands of bonus points annually—completely hands-off.
