Does Barclay's still offer a student credit card?

I have the student account and when going to apply through online banking the apply button doesn't appear - it says it's below which it isn't.

Anyone know?... Is it something you have to go into branch for now?

Thanks

  • Have you looked on the barclaycard website, probably the best place.

    If it helps I know from experience that there isn't much available in the market for homemakers so I expect Students are in a similar position.

    I've just spent 5 mins searching, but despite them saying they do offer student credit cards (in their 'ask a question' section) I've had a real runaround with duff links etc.

    On that basis I'd suggest a call or branch visit would be the best approach.

    I was just looking for a Student Barclaycard as well. Had the same problem looking for the apply button. Rang Barclays telephone banking - they stopped the Student Barclaycard in 2009.
    I was told no chance getting a Barclaycard itself. Helpful chap did not make full application for me as this would come up as a refusal on my credit score.
    Only way of using a Barclays Credit Card is as an extra person on a credit card my parents apply for. This gets no credit rating so is not ideal.
