Revolut is running a 20% bonus on RevPoints conversions to Avios from today until 30th August 2026 - giving UK customers a straightforward way to stretch their existing RevPoints balance further. The bonus applies to transfers into Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling Avios accounts, and could meaningfully top up your Avios pot ahead of an autumn booking.
| Revolut RevPoints to Avios 20% bonus: the full details |
The promotion runs from 17th August through to 30th August 2026 - a short two-week window - so there is limited time to act. Revolut is making the bonus available to personal account holders with a registered address in the UK, Ireland, or Spain only. The Avios account itself can be based anywhere.
20% bonus Avios on every RevPoints conversion during the promotion period
Eligible programmes: British Airways Executive Club, Aer Lingus AerClub, Iberia Plus, and Vueling Club
You must have an active Revolut Personal account with at least 1 RevPoint
You must already hold an account with one of the eligible airline loyalty programmes before redeeming
You need to opt in to the RevPoints loyalty programme if you have not done so already
Offer is open to UK, Irish, and Spanish Revolut customers only - regardless of where the Avios account is based
Promotion closes 30th August 2026
| How much is the 20% bonus worth in real Avios? |
The maths here is simple but worth spelling out. If you convert 10,000 RevPoints to British Airways Avios during the promotion, you receive 12,000 Avios instead of the standard 10,000. That extra 2,000 Avios is effectively free.
At a conservative value of around 1p per Avios, those 2,000 bonus Avios are worth roughly £20 in flight redemption value. If you use your Avios for premium cabin bookings or peak short-haul routes where they stretch further, the same bonus could be worth considerably more. You can check what your Avios balance is worth with the Smart With Points Avios Value Calculator.
For a larger conversion - say 50,000 RevPoints - you would land 60,000 Avios. At 1p each that is £600 of notional flight value, with the 10,000 bonus Avios alone worth roughly £100. That is a meaningful uplift on points you have already earned.
| How to claim the RevPoints to Avios bonus |
Follow these steps to make sure your conversion qualifies for the 20% uplift:
Open the Revolut app and confirm you have an active Personal account with a UK, Irish, or Spanish registered address
Opt in to the RevPoints loyalty programme within the app if you have not already done so
Make sure you already hold a live account with your chosen airline programme (BA Executive Club, AerClub, Iberia Plus, or Vueling Club) - you cannot create one as part of this redemption
Navigate to the RevPoints conversion section and select your Avios programme
Complete the conversion before 30th August 2026 - the bonus is applied automatically at the time of transfer
Once you have the Avios in your BA account, remember that you can also move them onward to Finnair or Qatar Airways via BA or Avios.com - useful if you are building a balance for a specific redemption. The BA Reward Avios Flight Finder can help you check what availability looks like for your target dates before you commit.
| Things to watch before converting your RevPoints |
A few honest caveats worth considering before you rush to convert:
The 20% bonus only applies during the promotion window (17–30 August 2026) - conversions outside these dates get no uplift
UK, Ireland, and Spain only - if your Revolut account is registered elsewhere in Europe, you are not eligible
You must already be a member of the airline loyalty programme before you redeem - a last-minute sign-up after the fact will not qualify
This offer is for Revolut Personal accounts only; it is not clear whether Business accounts are included, so check the terms
RevPoints earn rates on everyday UK spending are modest compared to dedicated travel credit cards, so this bonus is most valuable if you already have a RevPoints balance sitting idle
Avios transferred from Revolut behave identically to Avios earned elsewhere - there are no restrictions on how you use them, but the standard BA redemption rules (taxes and fees on top, seat availability) still apply
The key question is whether you actually have enough RevPoints to make a meaningful conversion. If your balance is small, a 20% bonus on a handful of points may not move the needle much. But if you have been accumulating RevPoints for a while and have not yet transferred them, this window is a good prompt to act.
| Frequently asked questions |
Which Avios programmes are included in the Revolut 20% bonus?
The bonus applies to conversions into British Airways Executive Club, Aer Lingus AerClub, Iberia Plus, and Vueling Club. All four programmes share the same Avios currency, so points transferred into any of them can be moved freely between the programmes via Avios.com.
Can I convert RevPoints to Avios if I live in the UK but my Avios account is elsewhere?
Yes - eligibility is based on your Revolut registered address (UK, Ireland, or Spain), not on where your Avios account is based. As long as your Revolut account is registered to a UK address, you qualify regardless of which country your BA Executive Club account is linked to.
Do I need to opt in before converting, or is the bonus automatic?
You must be opted in to the RevPoints loyalty programme before redeeming. If you are already enrolled, the 20% bonus is applied automatically when you convert during the promotion period - there is no separate opt-in required for the bonus itself.
Can I use Avios from Revolut on Qatar Airways or Finnair flights?
Yes. Once Avios land in your BA Executive Club account (or another eligible Avios programme), you can move them to Finnair or Qatar Airways via BA or Avios.com. This makes the Revolut bonus genuinely useful for anyone targeting premium redemptions on those carriers.
| The bottom line |
A 20% RevPoints to Avios conversion bonus is a solid, if time-limited, opportunity for UK Revolut users with an existing points balance. The maths are straightforward: every 10,000 RevPoints becomes 12,000 Avios for free. If you have been sitting on RevPoints and have a BA, Aer Lingus, Iberia, or Vueling redemption in mind, this is the right moment to act.
The promotion closes this Sunday 30th August - so you have just under two weeks to make the conversion count. Check the Smart With Points Avios Value Calculator to see what your target balance is worth before deciding how much to transfer.
