Cashback Barclaycards!!!

markirv

Barclaycard need to point out that the 6% cashback during the first 3 months is not eligible to anyone switching cards, with a modifying agreement. I had my suspicions when it wasnt mentioned in the terms and conditions, then had it confirmed via email.-




'Thanks for your message.

In response to your enquiry, I regret to inform you that the promotional cashback offer of 6% cashback in the 1st 3 statements is only for new customers applying for this product.

Existing customers, you are switching their existing card to this product will not be eligible for 6% cashback in the 1st 3 statements.'







Now I have no idea if someone already had a barclaycard, then apply for a cashback card also.....will this include the 6% offer for 3 months?

Either way with mis selling in the news I think Barclaycard are sailing a little close to the wind with this. There is nothing stated regarding current customers not being eligible for the 6% cashback in the t&c, only the rates used ie. 4% 0.5% etc with no mention of 6% at all.

This is underhand by Barclaycard and could have cost lots of people to spend far more than usual to gain the 6% cashback, only to find out they are not eligible to it. Not to mention switching from a fee free card to a mis sold product with an account fee of £24.

I transfered with a modifying agreement and got the 6% rate.

Did your agreement state you would be entitled to 6% cashback?

Thanks for that. Either they have changed the terms then or they have individual agreements set up per customer.

I had a bog standard barclaycard which I wasn't using, received it when Barclaycard took over Egg. I changed this card fod the cashback card and I have been receiving the 6% introductory rate.

Has anyone had their third statement and gone over the £120 6% cash back limit? If so what happens if you have top 5 transactions that put you over the £120 limit? Do you get cash back at 2% on these or is everything for the rest of the month half a percent?

I'm fingers crossed for the £120 cap, and then the rest of the top five transactions to be at 2% as I've gone above the limit at 6% - will find out next week.

I noticed when I logged into my barclaycard account today the old card had disappeared. It now shows the reward card but doesn't show the balance of the previous card.

Anyone else had this?
