How to earn more RevPoints, and more miles beyond RevPoints, wherever you live

Revolut Shops: a big lever, but what it pays depends entirely on where you live

Revolut runs an in-app marketplace called Shops, covering hundreds of brands. In the UK and most of the EEA, purchases through it earn up to 20 times your normal RevPoints rate — not 20% more, up to 20 times over — and those points land in the same balance you already transfer to airline miles (Revolut's UK Shops page, Revolut's help centre). But Revolut runs the identical feature name in every market, and in several of its largest markets — including the US, Australia, Singapore and Japan — the same tab pays plain cashback instead of RevPoints. If you're outside the UK/EEA, check your own Shops tab before assuming it feeds your mile balance.

Rule of thumb: Shops pays RevPoints across most of the UK/EEA plus Switzerland, and pays cashback in the US, Australia, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and, unusually, Poland too. It is not a UK-vs-US split — it is a country-by-country setting, so always check your own app's Shops terms rather than assuming.

Because the offers inside Shops rotate constantly by merchant and change without notice, this page will not attempt to list "today's best deals" — that list would be stale within days. Instead, if you're in a RevPoints-paying market, treat Shops as a standing habit: before any online purchase you would make anyway, check the Shops tab first, since routing a purchase through it at multiples of the normal rate can be worth more RevPoints than a month of regular card spend.

Other ways Revolut adds to your RevPoints balance

• New account jump-start: Revolut has offered new users 3,000 points after completing eligible transactions in some markets (Revolut's RevPoints launch announcement).
• SpareChange round-ups: everyday card purchases round up to the nearest whole unit, with the round-up earning points too, in RevPoints-enabled markets (Revolut's help centre).
• Stays and Experiences: booking hotels or experiences through the Revolut app earns a higher rate than everyday spend, up to 2 points per pound in the UK (Revolut's RevPoints page).
• Buying points outright, or receiving a transfer: Revolut lets you top up your balance directly, or receive points sent from another Revolut customer, where RevPoints is supported (Revolut's RevPoints terms).
• Referrals typically pay cash, not points: Revolut's refer-a-friend programme is usually a cash reward credited to your balance, so it generally will not top up the RevPoints you convert to miles; terms vary by country (Revolut's US referral terms).

If Revolut isn't available where you live yet

Revolut's own supported-countries list currently covers the UK, the EEA (all 27 EU states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), Switzerland, the United States, Australia, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil (Revolut's supported countries page). Mexico gained full banking operations in January 2026, its first market outside Europe (Reuters), and Revolut has separately announced plans for Colombia, Argentina, India, the Philippines, South Africa and the UAE (Revolut's own expansion announcement).

That still leaves large regions without any Revolut product at all as of today: Canada, India, mainland China and most of South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East (the UAE only has an in-principle licence so far), almost all of Africa, and most of Latin America outside Brazil and Mexico (Revolut's supported countries page, Wikipedia's Revolut overview).

If that's you: RevPoints simply isn't an option yet, but nothing on this page stops working. Every airline's own shopping portal, dining network, and (where available) local bank co-brand card in the next section works independently of Revolut, so skip straight to the table below and the regional card section that follows it.

Other ways to earn each airline's own miles directly

RevPoints is one route into these 14 programmes, but every one of them also has its own shopping portal and, in most cases, credit card transfer partners that have nothing to do with Revolut. Shopping portals generally work for shoppers anywhere in the world; credit card transfer partners are a different story — Chase Ultimate Rewards and Capital One miles are US-only products, and Citi ThankYou and Amex Membership Rewards run as separate, differently-named programmes with different partner lists and conversion rates in each country. Where a partner is listed below, check whether it's actually issued in your market before assuming it applies to you — the regional alternatives table further down covers what's realistic outside the US and UK.

Not in the US or UK? Here's what actually earns miles for you

Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou and similar names get used as if they're one global currency, but they aren't — each country runs its own version with its own partner list and conversion rate. Emirates publishes the clearest proof of this: transferring Amex Membership Rewards to Skywards costs 2 points per mile in the UK, Germany and the Gulf, but 4 points per mile in Australia (Emirates). If you're outside the US and UK, these are the ecosystems worth checking instead:

Of the 14 programmes above, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer has by far the strongest footprint outside the US and UK, with direct co-branded cards in ten markets including Singapore, Australia, Japan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, mainland China and Thailand (Singapore Airlines). Emirates Skywards and Etihad Guest each have India-specific co-brands, and China Southern's Sky Pearl Club has seven Chinese bank partners, but the other nine programmes — Flying Blue, Iberia, Aer Lingus, SAS, Finnair, AEGEAN, Vueling and avianca — have no confirmed Australian or Singaporean co-brand card at all; for those, a shopping portal, dining network, or an indirect route like Qatar Privilege Club or a national Citi/Amex scheme is the realistic option.

Worth noting: AEGEAN Miles+Bonus and China Southern's Sky Pearl Club remain the two outliers with no major transferable bank-card route in anywhere in the world. For these two programmes specifically, a Revolut RevPoints transfer (where available to you) is comparatively more useful than it is for, say, Flying Blue or Avios, where several card ecosystems already offer a direct route. RevPoints is also worth remembering for Etihad Guest and Turkish Miles&Smiles specifically, since both accept a 1:1 transfer from RevPoints regardless of your country (Etihad, Turkish Airlines).

None of this changes the math the calculator runs on your Revolut plan — it is simply the wider picture of where else your miles could come from, wherever you happen to be.
