Hello Reddit, I've got a weird issue.
I created a direct debit subscription in a Pocket and... the service didn't bill me besides the initial payment. Revolut has no trace of the transactions on the agreed days.
(I usually use card payments for my subscriptions and sometimes used one-time bank transfers, but it's actually the first time I use direct debits with Revolut)
The service was saying everything was paid on time in their customer support portal, but a few months later, wanting to have enough money to pay in bulk just in case, I moved it back to the Main Account.
And the next month, the payment worked! Followed by one payment every working day until what I missed was paid. The payment references indicates the payment's date rather than the date I should've been charged. No late charge, no warning email, no warning in the CS portal, nothing weird besides that the payment moved to the future...
I really would want to move the payment back to the Pocket, but I fear triggering the same glitch again. Has anybody else used Revolut and got weird non-charged transactions by using a Pocket?
The pocket contains exactly the amount I owed each month (it's auto-transfered the day before from savings) so the payment should be accepted as far I know and Revolut doesn't show any failure in the transaction log. It's as if the subscription service "detected" a Pocket with the exact required amount, and never sent a formal payment until it "detected" the main account with much more money.
But... there's no way the service could detect that and postpone without Revolut having anything in the logs, right?
Example :
02 july charged ref 20260702
02 august nothing
02 september nothing
(flipped to main account)
02 october charged ref 20261002
05 october charged ref 20261005 (days skipped because of weekend?)
06 october charged ref 20261006
07 october nothing (charged amount matches the "logical" billing)
