Question about Goldfish c/c reward points

Daggers_2

I had exchanged some reward points for shopping vouchers, which I haven't yet spent. Unfortunately, they were issued by the Kingfisher Group (Woolworth's/Comet/B&Q) and are now not valid anywhere. I contacted Barclaycard, who have told me to return the vouchers, and they can be exchanged for different vouchers, or I can have the original points refunded to my account.

I just thought anyone else in the same situation may be interested in this information.

I was a loyal Goldfish customer for years - but I find Barclaycard dreadful and am considering cancelling my account. I was going to go for the Argos credit card but they are no longer taking apllications. Can anybody recommend any other cards with Cashback or Rewards? Thanks

MBNA do a VISA and AMEX reward card:

Amex Platinum does, too, naturally

Anyone know the minimum amount of points you need to redeemwith Goldfish? I have decided I no longer want to keep my card but will use it again if I have to just to get enough points to redeem.

I rang the automated service and it said I did not meet minimum amount - I currently have 1700 points.

Also anyone know how much 1 point is worth?

Thanks

I can't remember the exact figures, but the value of your goldfirsh points will decline dramatically in August 2010 so best cash in what you have before then.

Off the top of my head it is about 1700 points to buy a £10 voucher. It will cost you over 3000 points if you wait til August almost halving their value.

As I said, not sure if my memory has the exact figures, but they are close and I am not sure of the exact cut off date.

You should have received a letter to this effect.
