Revolut adds hotel loyalty transfers to RevPoints in the UK

Revolut has announced a new way to use RevPoints, its loyalty scheme for debit-card spending: customers can transfer points directly to four hotel loyalty programmes inside the app. The company made the announcement on 1 October 2026, naming ALL Accor, I Prefer Hotel Rewards, Radisson Rewards and Wyndham Rewards as launch partners, with a combined footprint it describes as more than 20,000 properties worldwide.

The move matters because it pushes RevPoints into territory long occupied by credit card rewards schemes such as American Express Membership Rewards, which already offers UK cardholders transfers into several hotel programmes. For UK Revolut customers, it adds a route for everyday debit-card spending to convert into hotel points, provided they hold a Revolut Personal Account and have opted in to RevPoints.

It also arrives with some loose ends. Revolut's own live UK help page lists a fifth programme, Hilton Honors, that did not feature in the 1 October launch announcement, and the page itself warns that availability varies by country. Anyone weighing up the feature should check their own app before assuming a particular hotel scheme is open to them.

The four launch partners and the 20,000-property claim

The 1 October announcement named four hotel loyalty schemes: ALL Accor, I Prefer Hotel Rewards, Radisson Rewards and Wyndham Rewards. Revolut's launch material states that, combined, these programmes span more than 20,000 properties worldwide. That figure is a global total, not a UK-specific count, and the research behind this article found no breakdown of how many of those properties sit in the UK or any guarantee that reward-night availability matches the published property count.

Revolut's live UK help page, checked on 4 October 2026, lists a fifth name alongside the original four: Hilton Honors. The same page cautions that availability varies by country and tells customers to check within the app. Because the launch announcement and the current help page disagree on the number of partners, UK readers should not assume Hilton Honors transfers are live on their own account without checking directly in-app.

Conversion ratios vary sharply by programme

Each hotel scheme converts RevPoints at its own rate, so transferring the same number of RevPoints produces a different quantity of hotel points depending on the programme. That difference in quantity says nothing about which transfer is worth more: redemption prices and award availability vary by programme, so the ratios alone do not show comparative value.

These ratios come from Revolut's launch announcement. ALL Accor's own partnership terms independently confirm its 2:1 ratio, a minimum transfer of 2 RevPoints, and state that 2,000 ALL Reward points are worth €40 under Accor's own programme rules. That fixed relationship applies only to ALL Accor; the packet behind this article contains no equivalent sterling or euro value for I Prefer, Radisson or Wyndham points, so readers should not assume the programmes are comparable in value just because the ratios look similar. Published partner terms confirming minimum transfer amounts, processing times or transfer caps for I Prefer, Radisson and Wyndham were not available at the time of writing; Revolut's in-app confirmation screen is the place to check current terms before transferring.

ALL Accor also states explicitly that RevPoints converted into ALL Reward points do not count towards gaining or keeping ALL elite status. No equivalent statement about status credit was found for the other three programmes.

Revolut describes the hotel transfers as carrying no extra cost. Its wider RevPoints terms separately note that some redemption activities may carry fees shown in the app, so customers should treat the in-app confirmation screen, not this article, as the final word on cost for any specific transfer.

Who can use it, and how to link an account

To use the feature, a UK customer needs a Revolut Personal Account and must have activated, or opted in to, RevPoints. The hotel loyalty account being linked has to belong to the Revolut customer themselves, and the name on that account must match the Revolut account exactly; a partner's or family member's hotel account cannot be linked.

Revolut's published route through the app is: RevPoints, then Stays and Transfers, then selecting the hotel partner and entering the membership number.

Once made, a transfer cannot be refunded or reversed. Revolut's help page is explicit on this point, so customers should confirm they actually want the points in the hotel programme, and that a reward they want is realistically available there, before completing a transfer.

How RevPoints are earned, by plan

RevPoints are earned on eligible spending, and the rate depends on which Revolut plan a customer holds. As of 4 October 2026, Revolut's public UK pricing page lists the following:

These are the current published rates and prices; Revolut's own terms say earning rates, plan pricing and availability can change, so readers weighing up a plan upgrade for this feature should check the live app rather than rely on a snapshot taken on one date.

Not every transaction on a Revolut card earns points. Under Revolut's RevPoints terms, an eligible purchase has to be a genuine purchase of goods or services made with a Revolut card. Cryptocurrency purchases, cash withdrawals and payment transfers are given as examples of transactions that do not qualify, and Revolut's terms note that the list of excluded transaction types can change without notice.

Points expire, and they are not money

Unused RevPoints expire three years after they are earned, under terms that became effective for existing customers on 13 April 2026. Revolut's terms also state plainly that RevPoints are loyalty points, not money or currency: they cannot be exchanged for cash, and the points themselves are not a regulated payment service. That distinction matters for anyone assuming consumer protections that apply to regulated money, such as Financial Services Compensation Scheme cover, would extend to a balance of RevPoints; the packet behind this article found no basis for assuming they do.

Why this matters for competition in rewards

Hotel loyalty transfers put RevPoints into more direct competition with established card rewards schemes. American Express already offers UK Membership Rewards customers transfers into several hotel programmes, including ALL Accor and Radisson Rewards, which now overlap with two of Revolut's own launch partners.

The structural difference is that base RevPoints can be earned through eligible Revolut debit-card spending, whereas American Express Membership Rewards is an established card-rewards programme. In practice, the most generous RevPoints earning rates sit on Revolut's paid plans, up to £55 a month for Ultra, so the actual earning power on offer depends heavily on which plan a customer is prepared to pay for, not simply on holding an account.

What is still unclear

Several details remain unresolved from the sources available. It is not confirmed whether Hilton Honors, which appears on Revolut's UK help page but not in the 1 October launch, is available to all UK customers or only in some markets. No public partner terms were found confirming minimum transfer amounts, processing times or transfer caps for I Prefer Hotel Rewards, Radisson Rewards or Wyndham Rewards, unlike the independently confirmed terms for ALL Accor. The exact number of UK properties within the global total of more than 20,000 was not stated in the material available.

What to check before transferring

Anyone considering a transfer should check, inside the Revolut app, which hotel programmes currently show as available on their own account, the exact conversion ratio and any minimum or fee shown on the confirmation screen, and whether a specific reward night or benefit they want is actually available through the receiving hotel programme. Because transfers cannot be reversed once made, that checking is worth doing before confirming, not after. Revolut's RevPoints terms and its in-app help pages are the primary places to find current detail, since rates, partner lists and pricing are all described by Revolut as subject to change.
