Barclaycard World MasterCard (Ex Egg Money) Being Replaced with Amex + Visa Combo

teena

I also have sent a secure message as I too was an egg card holder originally. I used the advice on here eg disappointment in the changes, querying how this is a simplification for me, saying how Am Ex is limited and so will be forced to use visa more and hence dropping to 0.5% often as well as the loss of the extras such as insurances etc.
Received a reply quickly offering the 6 months doubling of the rates and £40 goodwill gesture. I refused the offer saying I had found out others had received £50 and so would be happy to be treated the same. Got a reply offering the double rate plus £50.

So thank you all so much -I would never have thought to do this by myself - the power of a community :T

Full £200.


Already received my shiny new Amazon cards and will close Barclaycard once I get the £15 bonus, and Im still hoping to be offered the extra bonus.

Thinking of taking one out. Do they set up a direct debit option so that the payment in full can be taken every month so I don't have to think about it?

i don't have an Amazon card, teena, but i am certain that they will offer this option.

Yes - got mine all sorted out - full amount to be paid off each month But Watch out JUST IN CASE the FIRST PAYMENT needs to be done manually...

:money:Had the same 'Offer' from Barclays... but I have just got my Full £200 cash back for this year.
Will get the intro bonus, and the 6 months at 1% then it is getting ditched and all going onto my Amazon Card..

They also honoured my requests not to phone, and all communication was handled via the messaging system. Quite impressed, actually.

Ditto Here.. in fact the £50 hit my card today as a 'Goodwill' however they have not actually told me about it!!!

Just got full £200 cash back this month as well... and the 1% rate for 6 months Plus the £15 intro bonus...

I will still be ditching Barclaycard after the 6 months.
I have taken out Amazon Card
I am also switching to Santander 123
And re-mortgaging and ditching Barclays....

So all in all their 'Special Offer' will loose them 100% of my business and a total loss of any earnings from me...

Fair play to you - I'd do exactly the same if I had anything else with Barclays.
