Hi people,
Just thought I'd let it be known that I rang Barclaycard this afternoon, paid of my outstanding balance (only some £76) and attempted to close my account.
I was put though to customer loyalty and they offered me a £40 credit to keep the account open. Not on my account yet (looked online) but I am hopeful it will be applied tomorrow, if not I will just ring again and actually cancel this time!
