Revolut £50 referral code: how the campaign works and how to claim it

Revolut runs its £50 flat referrer bonus in campaign windows that roll over every few months. The referrer earns £50 once a new customer completes four steps — ID verification, funding, three £5+ card purchases, and ordering plus activating a physical card. The new customer's reward is a variable in-app offer, not fixed cash. Check the Revolut page for the live amount and the current window before you start.

Key takeaways

  • Revolut's £50 referrer bonus runs in time-limited campaign windows that roll over every few months — confirm the current amount before you claim.
  • £50 is paid to the referrer only; the new customer's reward is a variable in-app welcome offer, not guaranteed cash.
  • Four qualifying steps: verify ID, add money, make three £5+ card purchases, and order plus activate a physical card.
  • Gambling, gift cards, ATM withdrawals and bank transfers do not count toward the three purchases.

How to finish the Revolut referral before the 14 July deadline

Click the referral link. Complete identity verification with passport or UK licence + selfie. Add money. Make three real £5+ purchases (coffee, Tesco, Uber all count). Order the physical card and tap contactless once. The £50 lands for the referrer a few days after all steps clear.

If you only care about the new-customer side, check the in-app screen after signup — variable welcome offers appear there independently of the referrer bonus.

Is Revolut worth it alongside Monzo or TopCashback?

Yes for multi-currency travel and the chance at a big one-off referrer payout while the campaign lasts. It is not a replacement for a primary FSCS current account — use Monzo for that and Revolut as the travel/FX layer. Stack with TopCashback for shopping cashback.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when the current Revolut campaign window ends?

The flat £50 referrer programme closes and Revolut typically rolls a new campaign within days — historically reverting to a lower retail amount before the next high-bonus window. Claim while the current window is open, and check the Revolut page for the live amount and end date.

Do the three £5 purchases have to be on the physical card?

No — Apple Pay/Google Pay contactless or chip-and-PIN on the physical card both count as long as they are £5+ at real merchants.

Can the new customer get cash too?

The £50 is paid only to the referrer in this campaign. New customers typically see a variable welcome offer on the referral screen after signup.

Can I still use the link after the current campaign ends?

Yes — the referral link keeps working; only the headline amount changes. When a high-bonus window closes, Revolut usually drops to a lower retail bonus until the next campaign. We re-verify the live amount monthly, so check the Revolut page for today's figure.

Does ordering the physical card cost money?

Standard Revolut cards are free to order and activate. Premium/Metal plans have paid cards but are not required for the £50 referrer bonus.
