    I have searched the web and Barclaycard website for this to no avail. What does it actually say behind your statment :confused:. I havn't heard of this card before - maybe it is something they intend to introduce for existing customers? Maybe give them a call and ask? Would be interested to know :)

    I used to work at Barclaycard - the black card is exclusive - it's like a charge card with no theoretical limit.... however, you only get invited to join (like the amex black) and be a member. Hence why it's not mentioned much (probably due to b/card trying to keep it as a prestige card).
