oh and the premier till services business clients so the queues are massive!!
LOL so the till queues are just as bad as the call queues.
Seems better to be a standard current a/c customer with Barclays. Or just with another bank... but that's another storyCashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

Yeah you need to flash the black card to get in there, but what if you have the blue card and are a premier customer?

I think if you flash the blue card (even though you are a Premier customer), they might want to check the computer to see if you really are one, before letting you in.
It would be easier for the account to come with a black card, no matter what.0 -

Yes as I said before they sure do have a funny way of operating, cards and overdrafts and these pointless reserve rubbish stuff!0 -

I had a Barclays Premier account about 6 months ago, it was the worst time I have ever had with a bank. They just messed up everything they touched! I have gone back to Lloyds who to be fair have been very little trouble, never again would I darken barclays door!These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!
I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!0 -
