Here too! This blank page has only be a recent thing for me, and the first time I saw it, I thought they had made a mistake, and it should have had something on it!
I like getting the printed bills. Where I live in the sticks, internet connection is unreliable. Have been without it for nearly a month in the past. Would have been well stuffed if I had relied on this way of keeping on top of my finances and paying online.
There is an assumption that the whole of the UK has access to reliable and fast internet, when that is not so for many of us. So I applaud Barclaycard for still sending out the paperwork. Nothing brings home what you have spent and owe, then opening that envelope and seeing the printed figure in black on white! Long may it continue, minus the blank page of course.

Definitely. Paper bills for credit cards is a must, in my mind. They all get filed by company and year, and I'll keep them for 7 years before even considering shredding them. As of yet, I haven't shredded any. They still fit neatly in my filing cabinet. But being archived by year, when I do run out of room the shredding will be a simple 'grab and feed'.Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009. DFD: 20/11/2009 :j

to be honest most of my credit card bills are not to bad themselves with the bill size, most are one page or two max, however where i really think they waste paper is the leaflets they insist on sending out, have received 3 card bills this week, and between them have at least 9 leaftlets for loans, home insurance, car insurance, and so on!!! whilst occasionally is fine, some seem to send the same couple of leaftlets with every bill!MFW#105 - 2015 Overpaid £8095 / 2016 Overpaid £6983.24 / 2017 Overpaid £3583.12 / 2018 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2019 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2020 Overpaid £2583.12/ 2021 overpaid £1506.82 /2022 Overpaid £2975.28 / 2023 Overpaid £2677.30 / 2024 Overpaid £2173.61 Total OP since mortgage started in 2015 = £37,286.86 2025 MFW target £1700, payments to date at April 2025 - £1712.07..0
