The card is of no use to me but I appreciate it may be for others.

Strangely, I get better rates with TransferWise every time I compare the two. Maybe it's because I transfer larger amounts. The customer service of Revolut is a complete joke. Or I get stuck with the dumbest people every time I need to get in touch with the (every time). A transfer from bank to bank ends up taking about 10 days, with TW using a debit card (not possible on Revolut) it's nearly instantaneous.
