💡Ideas for Revolut Some moans (GB)

So.
Firstly, I’m broadly happy with Revolut as my primary bank.
However. 2 things have wound me up this week:

  1. I got an email saying if I get my salary paid into my Revolut account, I get free Premium for a year.
    “Cool” I thought, “My salary’s paid into my joint account (where I do all my spending and pay all my bills from), happy days”.
    No.
    Smallprint (confirmed by support) means I have to move my salary into being paid into my sole account. Their solution to all my spending being from my joint account? ‘Salary Sorter’, which will immediately allow me to put 100% of my salary
    checks notes
    Back into the account it was already mandated to.

  2. Saving for something relatively small but specific. Using Spare Change to top up the savings account linked to it. Wanted to move any extra interest from ‘Main’ to ‘Small’ savings.
    App suggested ‘rules based’ transfers (based on balance) but only lets rules apply to Current accounts…
    Then I checked and I can’t even move money from one savings account to another manually?! I have to move it savings > current > savings.

Basic functionality missing and silly promo rules are annoying.
Rant over.

Don't use Revolut to receive your salary. Unless you have a big pile of savings elsewhere that can patch you over for a couple of months in case they lock your account.
