    Bit of a bummer for the $15 crew

    @RevolutNZ , Why don't you allow no other ID other than NZ Passport or Driver license. Even NZ permanent residents can't be verified—bad system.

    • -1

      Yeah, I had the same experience. Borderline false advertising, as the terms indicate it is open to people who are residents of NZ - https://www.revolut.com/en-NZ/legal/terms/

      I had a negative experience with customer service over this point, so the company's rep is lessened in my mind. I sought out alternatives.

      • +1

        Have you tried wise? I’m tempted to go with either this or Wise

        • -3

          imo rev is better than wise. I have both but I use Rev much more and especially with AliExpress, set it to USD and you get a better rate with Rev :D

        Makes me quite concerned about giving Revolut any personal information at all if this is the quality of their staff.

        • -1

          They are known for this. They are very strict on what they allow, which also means that their security is a bit over the top (which I don't mind).

            @kfr23:

            They are very strict on what they allow, which also means that their security is a bit over the top (which I don't mind)

            Sounds like their staff are more clueless than cautious.

            Their use of the weird domain name is another clue in the same direction - like they don't get the risks (or just don't care), and would just be metaphorically 'rolling their eyes' at concerns / regrets customers might have.

            I don't think I'll take the risk with giving them my ID. Once you do, you can't ever be sure that it will be safe with any other party, and it just feels like these guys might be a breach waiting to happen.

            • @Alan6984: I trust them more than I trust Wise. I've never got an email from them that doesn't use their own domain.

              A marketing campaign doesn't count. Lots of companies use Amazon SES for sending emails, along with their analytics.

              • @kfr23:

                I trust them more than I trust Wise.

                Good for you - I guess its nice that there are still a few trusting people out there :-)

                A marketing campaign doesn't count.

                Okay.

    • Just to clarify, can you verify with just a driver license or also need NZ passport? I'm a permanent resident but have a driver license.

      • I used my NZ driver's licence and repeatedly got rejected. Was told I needed a NZ passport, which I obviously do not have as a non-citizen.

        • Hi @Rismoor feel free to DM me with the phone number you have used to sign up so we can help look into this for you.

    • +2

      @RevolutNZ they even told me that they don't accept nz drivers license as valid ID. WTH. I'll copy their reponse to me when I tried to sign up last year:

      • Hi @jinxnz Please DM us with the phone number you tried signing up with so I can look into this for you. We do accept NZ Drivers Licences as ID so we'd like to understand what's happened here.

  • What is (ngih.net)?

    I have no intention of going there just to find out!

    • Mmmm, My workplace blocked the url, the normal Revolut website works fine

    • From ChatGPT: The domain "ngih.net" is associated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States and has been observed 192 times on urlscan.io, a website scanner for suspicious and malicious URLs. However, specific information about the purpose or content of "ngih.net" is not readily available. It's possible that "ngih.net" is used as a tracking or referral domain. For example, a link to Revolut's website includes "ngih.net" in the URL: https://revolut.ngih.net/3M40X. This suggests that "ngih.net" might serve as an intermediary for tracking referrals or marketing campaigns.​

      • +3

        Yep, The ngih.net url redirects to https://www.revolut.com/en-NZ/promo/aff-topup-topup40/ so likely its used for marketing/referal tracking as mentioned by samsteez.

        If you what to skip that just got straight to https://www.revolut.com/en-NZ/promo/aff-topup-topup40/

          That's better - thanks Andrew.

          So many marketing people are so technically clueless.

          You use either a page on your domain website (https://www.revolut.com/something) or a subdomain thereof (https://something.revolut.com/) - nothing else, ever :-)

            @Alan6984: Are we sure this is not a cheeky person who has made a RevoultNZ id on cheapies and getting all the referrals via that link.

            The link takes you to:

            Just curious!

            • @ominous-circle:

              Are we sure this is not a cheeky person who has made a RevoultNZ id on cheapies and getting all the referrals via that link.

              Looks very possible.

              Some others here have been indicating that they think Revolut would 'legitimately' use a non-Revolut domain for marketing, so either Revolut are idiots (my original point), or it just further proves the point that businesses that make that mistake then train their customers to trust links they should not.

              Of course, you can also say that such customers clicking links like that are lacking any real understanding of how things work, and it isn't their fault.

            • @ominous-circle: I've checked their cheapies account and can confirm that they are an employee at Revolut. Not some random cheeky person camouflaging their personal referral links as an official Revolut promotion campaign.

        • Hi team, thanks for the feedback. It was an internal tracking link so we've replaced with the direct link.

  • Enter my mobile and I get This offer is not available
    Unfortunately you're not eligible for this promotion

    Don't have existing account, have only been on waitlist but never been able to sign up as unable to receive verification SMS at the first step…

    • Am getting the same and never signed up but was on the wait list. A bit dumb of them blocking potential customers.

      • Hi @mpc could you please DM us the phone number you used to sign up too? This seems to be a glitch in our system that we'd like to investigate.

    • Same here. Eligible but not receiving any of the texts to confirm my number when signing up.

    • Hi @tehyitz If you could please DM us with the phone number you entered we will look into this for you. Thanks!

  • +2

    Can I ask what actually is this please

    • +1

      It's a debit card for cheaper international travel/money exchange https://www.revolut.com/. Similar to Wise https://wise.com/

    • You also get one time use virtual debit card which are very useful for signing up for trials or new accounts.

      • Annoying thing about that is that you it doesnt work on many things since you can set it for reoccuring payments.

        So you cant use it for doordash as an example.

        • With Doordash, you can create a new account to use the 50% off your first 2 orders and use a gift card from ShopBack to make the purchase rather than adding any payment method. The only downside is that the denominations of the gift cards on ShopBack are in $25 increments. Stacks nicely with the $10 upsized cashback too.

          • @AClubPenguinUser: Ok but you can just keep using a normal card on a Doordash account multiple times? I make a new Doordash account, use the same card I always use, then delete the account after I've finished.

            • @kfr23: Really? Surprised to hear that. I would've thought after adding the same payment method to multiple accounts it would make you ineligible for the new user discount.

            • @kfr23: How long after you deleted the account that you tried with the same card again?

  • Hmmm give up all that personal information for $40… Tempting

  • +1

    Couldn't get the text message… Tried multiple times to sign up on my computer and mobile phone with different browsers, each time it said 'success' but the text message has never come through… Never had an account with them and never on the waitlist, either.

    • +1

      Fu*k, me too, I had sent email with them one month!!

    • It doesn't work properly if you're on One NZ

      • That explains me not getting it then.

        • Kogan is better 😉

        • Hi @Wakrak if you can send us a DM via Cheapies with the phone number you used to sign up we'll look into this.

      • I'm on Skinny (Spark) and still haven't got the text message…

      • Got mine on 2degrees.

    • I couldn't get the txt from the website but did get it when I used the app.

    thank you, got my $40 for selling my drivers license and facial scan to revolut :)

    Their system is trash. I've got verified used the account for a bit. Then my account got suspended. Asked for id check again. Submitted same id again. Just to be suspended a couple of weeks later. Submitted selfie with id third time. Just to be suspended again in a couple of weeks.

    Didn't do anything dodgy. Only paid few times on Amazon and Ali. Got tired of this BS. Closed account with them.

    Using wise with no issues whatsoever for few years now.

    Btw ASB Visa Flex has 0% conversion fees now and works out better anyway. Good riddance.

  • Tried getting my mom and brother to both sign up as they’re about to travel overseas. Neither can get the SMS come through and it says offer not available for both. What’s going on? Literally can’t even sign up?

    • Hey @MMD if you can DM us with their phone numbers we can look into this on their behalf. As long as they fit the eligibility on the T&Cs they should be able to redeem the offer, but some digging will help us get to the bottom of us.

  • Im on Skinny, using an ex-Spark number, no SMS or call back working for me either 😞

  • For what it's worth, I use both Wise and Revolut and have no issues with either. They both have their benefits. Some services seem to work better on one or the other. Some survey sites cash out to Revolut, which is a bonus.

  • I’m stuck in verification limbo :(

    • Hey @Discount22 can you DM me with the phone number you used to sign up and your full name and I'll get the team to look into this for you

  • This is such false advertising. Just entered my number in the deal sign up page and it mentioned my phone number is recorded and continue the sign up process after downloading the app. I go ahead and do it and check in with customer service and then say ‘the link is not recorded in our system’. What kinda scam is this?

  • Hi,

    Is there anyone who received this reward?? I had chat with customer support and then asked to submit a ticket. Still they rejecting the offer by saying invitee not found. Feels like waste of time.

  • Confirmed this is working. I received $40 the next day after spending more than $40.

  • @RevolutNZ I got nothing so far a week after spending 40. just constant stream of emails from revolut trying to get me to apply for a physical card and to buy crypto

  • Just confirming that this worked for me - sent a message to support showing referral link used and money added next day.

  • Just to confirm, despite the hiccups when this offer was first introduced, it now runs smoothly. They no longer send the download link via text message; instead, you enter your mobile number online and are redirected to download the app through a (presumably unique) link.

    Also, looks like the promotion has been extended for another year until the end of 2026, according to the offer page.

    Tips:

    • Sign up using the OP's link on your mobile phone. It should automatically redirect you to the App Store or Google Play to download the app.

    • After completing onboarding, contact Support in the app and ask the AI chatbot to confirm that the offer has been recorded for your account.

    I used the virtual card to spend just over $40 online (in a single transaction) and received the $40 cashback the next day—within 24 hours. Hope it works for you, too.

    P.S.
    Regarding Wise vs Revolut, which has also been discussed here: I’ve signed up for both and plan to use them for at least a year to see which works better. In my experience so far, Revolut beats Wise in almost every regard, but let's see how it goes in the long run :)
