In the letter I received from BC advised I will not be able to view my account until the 8 November. No doubt everyone else would be advised of what date they can view their account but as usual no one bothers reading the small print.

I certainly did read the small print and I certainly didn't get such a date advised.

Ta.

Not even small print Rupert Bear
Across the letter I received it says

"Launch your account for online servicing on Wednesday 9th November 2011"

"Of course if you need to access your account before this date, you can launch your account at any time from 7th"

Not that it matters to me as I won't be using it

Had we not agreed that the stipulation was for those who didn't already have a log in for a pre-existing card?

Hadn't seen that mentioned Cell but you could be right as I don't have a pre-existing card

Both of my ex-egg accounts were showing on my existing Barclaycard login (with balances and transactions) last night, even before the cutoff, but my OH's weren't.
I expect it will all work out eventually!

Spent over £1,000 on my new card this morning with no problems.... seems to be working okay!

Can anyone please tell me where I can see the cashback?

Cashback earned is displayed on my initial page after logging in, bottom right corner, under 'Your rewards'.

In the letter that I received from BC, it says that they've "allocated (me) a preferred time to launch mybarclaycard", not that I couldn't access the account before then. I'm not going to try until the date set because if my account is not there I'll only get stressed about it!

So today I thought I'd try to get my head around this change, I have both the Egg Visa and Mastercards. First I get the dreadded Indian call centres, which I nearly hung up on until was eventually given a new login to MyBarclaycard. Then it says that I failed to pay the minimum on the one card showing despite haing paid it! Then I get an error when trying to look further, not a good start with Barclaycard. A shame Egg was good for me!

I'll keep the Mastercard I guess due to the cashback, but is there any benefit to keeping the Visa card also?
