Barclays £100 back offer

geecee28

I opened an online account with Barclays in January when they offered £100 cashback if you paid in £1000 for 2 months running.
I did my bit and paid in the cash but Barclays are being tardy paying back their £100.
First I was told it would be within 28 days of the second deposit, that passed and I was told it would be within another 5 days, these passed and I've been told it'll be within yet another 5 days - 4 of these are up now and still no £100.
Anyone else been having problems ?

jcp is talking about 28 calendar days between deposits (which I agree with).

I am talking about 28 working days for Barclays to pay you your £100 (several people have been told this by Barclays).

OK, looks like different people are being told different things by Barclays.

I wouldn't be too worried about the exact timescale they will pay up eventually.

as above, i took up this offer just in time, but at the moment could really do with the grand (remaining from the second of my two £1k deposits) thats sitting at barclays back in my main current account. are you guys leaving the money there until you get paid the £100, or just moving the money in and out?

for info (no difference to comments already posted) email response received this morning:

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately there is a delay in reviewing these accounts, due to high demand.

The #100, for Customers who qualify will start to be paid from Monday 27th March.

The earliest the #100 can be paid, is within 28 days of the 2nd monthly payment of #1000 or more
being paid into the new account.
