Barclaycard student - no more?

sillystudent_2

Noticed on my Barclaycard statements that they now say 'Barclaycard Mastercard' rather than 'Barclaycard student' and also there's no mention of the student credit card on the Barclaycard website - does that mean it exists no longer?

I've still got my student Barclaycard, physically in my possession I mean (garish picture on the front and all :rolleyes:) but its due to expire next month, does anyone know what kind of replacement card I'll be getting? Will I be getting a new card if the product range has expired?

Cheers in advance

I'm with HSBC and a while after I left uni they 'upgraded' my account to a graduate account, but they informed me about it. Ring them up and ask them what's going on.

Yes, the student/graduate credit cards are discontinued.

Don't know why they do this though. The rates are good too compared to other banks.

Thanks for the response

Hmm, makes sense as haven't seen it on the Barclaycard website for ages. The question is - will I get another student Barclaycard when it expires (or if I order a replacement card before then) or something different do you reckon? Can they still replace a discontinued card?

Thanks again!
