I'm not surprised by the Barclaycard response as Loreleia make it very clear in their terms what you are signing up for as you have pointed out.

As others have said this scam is as old as the internet itself and before that it took the form of book clubs.

For me it's not a scam as it's all in their terms on the site, no attempt to hide it at all.

they are relying on people not reading the terms for the "Free offer", if it was mentioned on the actual advert how many people would actually send off for it? I suspect zero ,I never said it was a scam more a dubious practice

I didn't accuse you of saying it was a scam. As for signing up to anything without reading the terms, well it's just daft.

If you didn't sign up, then what were you expecting from Barclaycard?

After all, you did say earlier...
