    I've still not received the letter. I'll likely ditch the card altogether as the 0.5% rate is pretty poor.

    If you know of any cards on a like for like basis that pay more please let me know.

    Got my letter a few days ago & cancelled my account.
    Pity as it was a nice little earner since 2006............

    I assume you already have alternative cashback arrangements and have not cancelled this card and left yourself with no cashback cardt at all?

    I have a NW cashback card.......only 0.5%.
    Now if you know of a 1.0% cashback ( not vouchers actual cash ) please let us all know.

    Confirmed closure, but no incentive for me to keep account

    Thanks for your message.

    Our partnership with American Express is coming to an end, meaning we are unfortunately no longer able to continue offering the Barclaycard Cashback product. We'll issue a new Visa card which will earn 0.5% on all spend with no capped limit. You'll not be able to earn 1% cashback after the migration.

    The migration will start from 03 July and 31 August 2017. Please be assured that the following details will remain unchanged on your new Visa card;

    *PIN
    *Fees and charges
    *Credit limit
    *Payment due dates
    *Direct Debit arrangements
    *Interest rates
    *Any existing Balance Transfers or promotional rates
    *Login details for mybarclaycard

    There is no such incentive due to this migration. However, you currently have £8.17 cashback balance on your account. If you want to close your Barclaycard Cashback account, you are still eligible for your cashback. This will be credited to your account when you are next billed.

    Should you wish to go ahead and close your Barclaycard account, please contact us by 'Reply' and the necessary arrangements will be made.

    I trust this information is of assistance.

    Hi
    I sent a secure message complaining, as described so helpfully in a previous message. I got a phone call offering me £30. I said others had been offered £50 ( perhaps I should have just said "more" at first) and after they went off to consult I was offered £50. It is worth another shot. Good luck

    Is 'NW' short for NatWest ?

    I thought initially you meant Nationwide? But my Nationwide Visa credit card only pays 0.25% hardly worth bothering with, that's another card that has slowly dropped it CB rates over the years
    After reading PtL Vaubans Guide , please don't desert us, hang around and help others!

    I sent a secure message to complain also, got offered six months of interest free which does not seem too useful considering my low credit limit on this card and that I have no big purchases to make. If I took up the offer and put the money in the bank instead I think I'd only make £10 at most in interest.
