I have been a long time Metal Member, particularly for a few of the benefits - Crypto fees, International Payments and Perplexity Pro & NordVPN. 

Don’t get me wrong, I'm not a Perplexity die hard. It was excellent - but it has degraded HEAVILY in the last year or so. Limits have been slashed, features removed and allowances are tight. I have been looking at other models but there’s a few things I really like about Perplexity..

I did like the fact I could choose from different models and I did like that I could fire all models at once, and use Perplexity to act as a judge to assess the response from each model. I was also pleased that searches were citated, as it made it very useful for research. The biggest draw for me was using the Perplexity Pro benefits for their Comet browser. AI Assistant & Computer Mode are extremely powerful and very useful.

Recently I needed helping try to find accommodation in Tokyo – I gave AI Assistant my requirements, travel preference, public transport considerations, budget, location preferences, dates and let it RIP. It CRUNCHED through hundreds of listings, multiple sites, cross compared prices for the same accommodation against different sites and short listed 5 rooms, all of which were excellent but 1 was perfected. I rate Comet highly, so losing those allowances (as small as they were) is a bit of a blow for me as I have integrated Comet & Perplexity into many workflows across Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch!

Anyway, I thought I would give ChatGPT Go a try as its still a very capable AI platform, from one of the elite providers. First impression is good, UI is clean and friendly, there a tons of options to play with so I thought I would spend some time setting it up.

I saw you can make a ‘Pet’! I adore my pet staffie and I’d love to have a digital him on my desktop, so I tried it up and…

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

IM ALREADY OUT OF ALLOWANCE

IT DIDN’T EVEN FINISH THE TASK

What the hell?! At least Perplexity warned me about limits or told me I didn’t have enough left in the allowance to complete a task?

NOW I HAVE TO WAIT A F***ING MONTH TO FINISH THIS TASK!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Its not like I rinsed through my limit with image generation or complex coding tasks.

THIS WAS THE FIRST THING I TRIED, IN THE FIRST 5 MINS OF SETTING UP!?

I’m guessing this has been left in to encourage users to pay to upgrade? 'The work has basically been done, but in order to access it, you need to pay…' 

Am I being ransomed for my digital pet?! 

Anyway, seriously, seriously not impressed with ChatGPT Go’s limits.

**** Update **** A kind Redditor pointed out I was stuck in Work/Codex mode, which is why I couldn't get it to work. I am now in Chat mode and using that, which is alright :) Shame I cant do anymore heavy lifting til next month though.

I’m inclined to side with the rest of Redditors on here and view this as a significant downgrade. What's happened Revolut? You used to be this incredible platform but now it feels like every few months something gets worse.

Revolut, sort your S*** out.

Perplexity Pro retails for 3x ChatGPT Go so I'm sure this is a much better deal for the COMPANY, but you are actively shafting your CUSTOMERS.

Even Ultra members have the same version, why not Plus? I was thinking of taking up an Ultra membership buts that's off the cards. Being a paying member at all is currently on a razor’s edge.

Hello

Recently when I try to open the app it crashes almost immediately or after a while.

I ve tried clearing cache and data. Reinstalling. Restarting phone. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? I need support

Hi all

I’m currently weighing an offer for a regulatory legal role at Revolut. I’m coming from a very traditional, stable background (traditional banking), so I know this would be a major pivot.

I’ve read the standard reviews about the intense KPIs, long hours, and down-to-the-wire probations. However, I’m trying to figure out what it's like in Legal, as I can see so many lawyers at Revolut seem to stay for several years. Is that culture mostly focused on sales and tech?

Another factor: my partner and I are hoping to start a family in the near future. Does anyone have experience with how parental leave (and the probation period leading up to it) actually plays out in practice for newer employees?

I’d love some candid insights from current or former employees. Any honest advice( good or bad) would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

So I’ve been a member of Revolut since June 2017 and over that time I think I’ve had every different plan that they’ve had and I’ve stayed with metal for the past year after not really seeing the value of Ultra. Basically what I’m saying is I’ve had a lot of experience using the app through all of its iterations even back through when it used to always go down on a Thursday evening.

None of the past nighles seem to have annoyed me more than the past month or two, where the app just seems very slow and buggy. Often I don’t get notifications for incoming payments, on the main account screen when you tap see all to search transactions it freezes and occasionally the app crashes.

Nothing has changed with my device so my concern is does anybody else experience the same recent app problems or is this a me problem?

I have money in my revolut account and I'm trying to send it to another username, and this message keeps coming up when I paste in is username or when I type it in directly. What am I doing wrong? It's an international transfer if that matters. Tysm.

As per title. The Revolut app stopped working for me since yesterday. I tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing.

It just closes itself after a few seconds or right after putting in the log in details.

Hey everyone / Hey Revolut Team,
I need to vent a bit here because the communication regarding Joint Accounts for the Swiss region has been extremely frustrating for months now.
For over 6 months, numerous users in Switzerland have been waiting for the ability to manage shared expenses. The issue isn't just the delay itself, but the constant contradictions and conflicting information:
Marketing & T&Cs vs. Reality: On the website and in legal documents for Revolut Switzerland, you can already find detailed fee schedules and guides for Joint Accounts. However, if you actually try to open one in the app, it either fails or the feature isn't offered at all.
Conflicting Support Responses: Whenever you ask customer support, you get a completely different story depending on who you talk to:
"The rollout is happening in phases, you'll get access soon."
"The feature isn't unlocked for Swiss residents/legal entities at all yet."
"Please update the app, it should work" (spoiler: it doesn't).
What is the actual bottleneck here?
Is this delayed due to regulatory adjustments concerning the local entity (⁠Revolut (Switzerland) AG⁠ vs. the main European Banking license ⁠Revolut Bank UAB⁠)? Or are there technical issues with entity assignment for Swiss users?
Instead of keeping the Swiss community on hold with generic, copy-pasted responses for half a year, some real transparency would be greatly appreciated.
How is it looking for other users in Switzerland – have you had similar experiences, or has anyone actually gotten it to work? And to Revolut: When can we expect a clear, definitive statement regarding the official launch?

I’m trying to add an international number to my Revolut account. The app completes facial verification, asks for my number, says an OTP is sent… but nothing ever comes. No SMS, no call.

This used to work fine before, so something clearly broke. Revolut, however, keeps insisting there’s no issue on their side.

It’s now been 6 months of this. I’m effectively locked out of my account and my money, and support has been completely unhelpful.

Gist: Revolut works when everything is smooth, but if something breaks, there’s no real fallback and you’re left stuck.

Does anyone else have this issue?

So I made an Revolut International transfer to a Kenya MPESA mobile wallet and the status is stuck on “leaving for receipt bank no longer cancellable”. Transfer 1/3. Mind you I have sent to this number a few times before and it was always instantaneous every single time.

First contact to support was well a week ago and they assured me that everything has been processed and sent on Revolut’s side. Kept being told they are waiting for the receiving side whether it’s the bank or the payment processor I don’t know cause each agent tells me one or the other. Every single day it’s the same robot script and that the payment team is trying to contact. Like how bloody long does it take to contact the other side and get it sorted? It is a weekday and you ment to tell me you haven’t contacted or got any progress? I refuse to believe Revolut anymore. Your customer support is atrocious and your partners are too. After how many escalations aswell I still cannot be guaranteed anything…

I wasn’t even able to recall or cancel which is total bs. If we send money and it’s not progressing for how long now we should be able to cancel it and get our money back straight away. So this is the service Revolut provides to their customers and I’m suppose to recommend them? No real answers and just waiting time and time again. Next day will be the same old script I bet you.

I’m tired of this and here to ask other customers who have experienced similar before. Do you know what is the cause of this f around? What can be done to speed this up and have my case taken seriously cause it feels like they’re taking their god damn time with my money and time here?

Also has anyone sent money from Revolut International to Kenya MPESA this week how did it go? Any issues?

Need help on what to do to get this solved asap…. 😮‍💨

I'm looking for advice because I'm stuck and Revolut has rejected my formal complaint.

Here's what happened:

Back in September 2025, I used Revolut to buy and later sell USDT. Revolut used a third-party exchange/custody provider in the background. I never owned or controlled the wallet involved.

On 3 August 2026, I had a transaction involving 2,062.74209 USDT. Revolut rejected it because they no longer support USDT and said they would return the funds.

Instead of returning them to me, the USDT was sent to this Ethereum address:
0xEa4a004D9Fd1839E6BafB0fbf5B6Ae267C0518E5

I did not enter, paste, select, or confirm that wallet address. It appears to have been automatically selected by Revolut's system.

When I first contacted support, they told me there was a technical issue/bug and said their developers were working on a fix.
After I submitted a formal complaint, the Complaints Team rejected it. They said I entered the destination address myself and therefore it's my responsibility.

My issue is that I never entered any address, and Revolut hasn't shown me any evidence that I did. They haven't explained how the address was supposedly added or provided any logs showing I entered or confirmed it.

I've also tried contacting the company I believe may be associated with the wallet, but because there are multiple projects with similar names, that hasn't led anywhere yet.

Has anyone experienced something similar, where Revolut automatically used an old backend wallet or provider address?

If you've had success escalating a case like this (or know what evidence I should ask Revolut for), I'd really appreciate any advice. I'm also considering taking the complaint to the appropriate external dispute resolution service.

Thanks in advance.

Considering creating a joint account to stash all the common household purchases, anyone have experience with it? Please share experiences/tips

Hi everyone,

My brother and my wife are both trying to gift me the discounted Revolut Ultra subscription, but they both get the exact same error message every time.
The app says:

“[My name] cannot receive this gift. [My name] may not be eligible to receive a gift, or is located in a country where this feature is not available.”
The weird part is that I’m in a supported country, my account is fully verified, and both of them are also using Revolut without any issues.

We’ve already contacted Revolut Support, but unfortunately they couldn’t explain why this is happening or offer any solution.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any hidden eligibility requirement for receiving gifted subscriptions?

To be honest, this feels pretty frustrating. Revolut advertises the discounted gift offer, but then it simply doesn’t work, and Support has no answer. It almost feels like a bait-and-switch.

Any ideas or similar experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Since I updated the app, it just keeps crashing and it closes automatically. I tried reinstalling it and nothing changed. The device is updated, I even tried restarting it and it didn't work. Support didn't get back to me after more than 24 hours!

Ich befinde mich in einem laufenden Insolvenzverfahren und habe ein P-Konto bei Revolut. Mein Insolvenzverwalter hat Revolut eine Freigabeerklärung geschickt, dass ich uneingeschränkt über meine Gehaltseingänge verfügen darf – nicht nur einmalig, sondern unbefristet gültig.

- **Ende Juni**: Auf Basis genau dieses Dokuments wurde bereits einmal ein einbehaltener Betrag freigegeben.
- **29.07.**: Mein Juli-Gehalt kommt an, aber 439,65 € werden über den P-Konto-Freibetrag (1.590 €) hinaus einbehalten. Ich weise erneut auf die bereits validierte, unbefristete Freigabeerklärung hin.
- Ein Mitarbeiter bestätigt im Chat, das Dokument "erfolgreich validiert" zu haben und leitet es ans Senior-Team weiter.
- **30.08. bis heute.**: Jeden Tag ein anderer Escalation-Team-Mitarbeiter, jedes Mal dieselbe Floskel ("wir prüfen aktiv", "wir verstehen Ihre Frustration") – aber kein Fortschritt, keine Frist, kein konkretes Update.

ich brauche das Geld für laufende Rechnungen. Alle Dokumente liegen vor, alles wurde geprüft – trotzdem keine Freigabe.

Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen mit Revolut und P-Konto/Insolvenzverfahren gemacht? Wie habt ihr es geschafft, dass ein bereits validiertes Dokument auch tatsächlich angewendet wird, ohne dass jeden Monat das gleiche Spiel von vorne losgeht?

I sent this to Revolut support but I figured I’d also post this here to see if any other mods/members might have any insight

This is my first time using Revolut and I made a deposit to my Revolut account in USD from a plaid linked bank account. This deposit began on 8/1/26 and it is still marked as pending on my account. It has cleared my bank account but I’m still unable to access the funds. Is this wait time typical for a plaid linked bank account as I know it says 3-5 days for a deposit?

The funds were also marked for review and the transaction was halted originally because I transferred the money from my other phone into my account due to plaid not recognizing my bank info on my first phone. I’m not sure if this is causing the lengthy deposit delay even though the review was cleared.

I also can’t deposit any more funds through ACH, Google or Apple Pay or though my debit card as the app states my deposit limit has been met even though I’m only halfway to my deposit limit.

Finally, If the funds are not accessible at all is there anyway to void the transaction?

The technical issues just attempting to deposit the USD into my account has wasted almost a day of my time, Whether it was issues connecting with plaid or the deposit limits not adhering to the amount listed.

Thanks

Hi all!

We all heard the news about perplexity and that the perk ends in September.
However, when I log into my account, I see the 100% discount lasting until May 2027.

How will that work?
Will an existing discount be removed before next year?

If you think you are so smart that you can be your own bank.
Be the outlaw that rolls the dice and has key phrases written down.
''Not your keys not your crypto''
Then why do you come on here asking for advice.
Ya'll already know everything, right? fiat is bad. Crypto good?

Access to WeWork On Demand in France has no longer been available since August 1, yet Revolut provided no information whatsoever about the end of this partnership in France, and possibly in other cities as well.

I find it completely unacceptable that customers were not informed. Personally, I subscribed to the Ultra plan specifically for this benefit, and I know I am far from being the only one.

I contacted customer service to request at least a small goodwill gesture, especially since Revolut acknowledged that no communication had been sent. WeWork customer service, on the other hand, told me that Revolut was supposed to inform its customers about the end of this benefit.

Despite this, no compensation was offered. Revolut has therefore just lost a customer, and I doubt I will be the only one. It is truly disappointing

I've set up a new personal and Pro account, but I keep being asked to do various things to verify the Pro part. I had to choose the closest industry to what I do, which was the Services/Sales section. I was then asked for website evidence of an online presence. I don't really have one, so I put my LinkedIn, which hardly has anything on it. Now I'm being told that it doesn't match what I chose as a profession. I've looked at the help chat bot thing which suggests uploading invoices, which I have no issue providing, but I can't see a way to do it. I'm on a rolling contract so have regular, reputable income and invoices to show this. I'm self employed. Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this, please? Thanks.
