Hi all, FYI-

Sent the following via secure message around 5:50pm:

"I'd like to complain about being transferred from my current Barclaycard World Mastercard to the new Visa and Amex card system. I don't believe this new offering is "less complicated" than my current card since I will now have to carry 2 cards and I am aware Amex is not taken in every store. I also fail to understand why the Visa card only gives me 0.5% cashback instead of 1%. To be honest I am considering closing the account once these new changes come in as I am not at all happy with the new arrangements.
I am aware that others have been offered a £50 compensatory gesture as well as double cashback for 6 months. If you can match this for me I am happy to try the new cards. Otherwise I will strongly consider closing the account in the near future
Regards

Got a call around 2 hours later - Had a nice short chat with a lovely Indian call centre representative who was happy to give me the double cashback and £50 credit.
Sorted!:j

Someone earlier in the thread got £100 so I thought I would offer to hand back the double cashback in return for an upgrade to the £100 club

i would be after the doubling, as the main priority. can you not ensure that double cashback generates more than £50 for you?

Yeah, got the £50 on top of double cashback etc


Without the info on this thread would never have known.


Cheers All!

Nor me; are people still receiving them or have they stopped going out?

They're still resolutely refusing to send me the letter. Maybe I should complain about that?

No letter here either (I've not asked them)

Still earning just 0.25% cashback

They only offered me £20 and the 6 months double cashback

Didn't feel right to reveal that I've heard other people getting £50...

but the double cashback is a big plus.

They called out of the blue. Should have said....still not happy as double cashback only lasts 6 months... bleh. Ah well.
