A free upgrade from a green card to Platinum brought only so-so benefits, and the annual fee bill made it not worth keeping.
Reddit · r/Revolut · 3 days ago
A full-day outage in October locked up all funds, and the app has a habit of freezing accounts over transactions it wrongly flags as suspicious. The poster still stays because no other bank matches the automations that sort their money into pockets for bills and groceries.
Reddit · r/Revolut · 3 days ago

After weighing a targeted upgrade, concluded the Everyday card with no annual fee suits their grocery spending better than the Preferred.
MoneyRecs · Ben · 11 days ago
I mostly open this to clear the transactions waiting for review and see where the spending is going. That's enough for me. Having the upcoming bills on the same screen is handy, especially when the current balance looks more generous than it really is. I still check the categories instead of accepting everything in one go. Takes a little attention, but I prefer that to opening a spreadsheet and deciding I'll deal with it later.
MoneyRecs · Maricel D. · 12 days ago
Used it to send money to my mom once a month. On a weekday the rate was good, and the app shows the fee and exactly what she gets before you hit send. I found out the hard way that exchanging on the weekend adds a markup on the free plan, so after that I only sent Monday to Friday. Then in month eight a transfer got held and my account was restricted for a review. I uploaded my ID and pay stubs twice. The chat kept handing me to the bot, and when I finally got a person they just said my case was with the team. Eleven days without access to my own money, then it was unlocked with no explanation. The monthly transfer goes through Wise now. I only keep a little in Revolut for when I travel.
MoneyRecs · Priya S. · 12 days ago
We run a two person bookkeeping practice and our internet, phone lines and office supply store runs all go on this card. The 5% in those categories is the whole point, and a firm our size never gets close to the $25,000 yearly cap. Client lunches earn 2%. No annual fee. con: my starting limit was only $3,000, so for the first year I was paying it down mid cycle. There's a 3% foreign transaction fee as well, so it stays home when I travel. Still the card I'd keep if I had to cut down to one for bills.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne_ · 12 days ago
VentureOne came with the highest starting credit line they had seen at Capital One, so they moved that line over to their SavorOne using the manage credit lines feature in the app.

Reddit · r/CapitalOne · 12 days ago
They upgraded a Platinum to a Savor with an increase, but their Quicksilver Secured has had perfect payments for seven months with no graduation yet. They credit Capital One with helping them through a hard time.

Two years in, my husband and I finally know where the money goes. Worth the $109.

They rebuilt their credit and now rotate between two Quicksilver cards, paying them off monthly, but feel the small cash back is nothing special and are looking for better options.

They have kept a Quicksilver open since around 2010 as one of their oldest cards and just leave it in a drawer, using it to hold credit history rather than for rewards.
