    Just got back from holiday to find a statement showing £100 credited to the account. Never spoke to anyone at any stage. Must have been one of the lucky ones. Might not pay for the holiday but every little helps! :j

    After writing 2 letters to Barclays and getting no reply to either, I made a quick call to Barclays customer services yeserday and the £100 appeared in my account today.

    Well done Barclays. Eventually.

    This is a pain being on a separate thread from the other one headed "Urgent! etc etc".

    Couldn't one of the moderators combine them ?

    I only just saw this thread whereas I am 'on alert' for the other one [watching because wife STILL not had her 100 quid whereas my account - which had the 10-day Email originally - was credited with £100 weeks ago!]
    Expect the worst & hope for the best...

    £100 credited last saturday, closure form filled in and dropped in the cheque deposit box in Barclays in Dartford - Damned if I'll use a stamp or queue up in their branch.

    Thanks Martin.

    Goodnight Barclays.

    :)

    pleased to say my £100 just landed in my Barclays account no bother, no phone calls, just patience.

    Yep same here arrived without any hassles, ok not at the moment that I credited two £1000 to the account, but it came without one phone call.

    Applied on 18 January.

    Deposited £1000 on 13 March.

    28 days elapsed on 10 April and no £100 credited yet.

    Am writing the polite complaint letter now.

    Well, my complaint letter was ignored for a fortnight, so I did what I should have done in the first place and called the free 0500 007234 number. The person I spoke to was very apologetic and helpful, and my £100 was credited to my account about three hours after I got off the phone. So if you have met all the terms and conditions and your bonus payment is late I suggest giving the free telephone helpline a try.

    Thanks Martin!
  • I got my Lovely Lolly £100 credited to my account yesterday (after 2 phone calls)
    ....So now Bye bye Barclays :j

    Think I'll go to M & S tomorrow
  • I got my £100 pounds today only 14 days after depositing the second £1K !

    Many thanks Martin !
