    I've had a Barclaycard Initial for about a year and phoned up yesterday asking about this cashback combo and got upgraded no problem.

    They have carried over the same APR from my existing card (not bothered as I pay in full) and also increased my limit on request to £1000 from £400.

    Wow, I might try that then. :D

    I had a limit of £500 on my initial, which they put up to £1700 a few months ago, but never offered an upgrade.

    They refused my upgrade but told me it should be ok in two months (only had the freedom card for four months)
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Sent a secure message yesterday and got a reply this morning saying I was entitled to a Barclaycard Cashback card.

    Just phoned them and transferred over in less than 10 minutes :D

    Does anyone know what happens to additional card holders if you switch over, i.e. do they get two cards as well?

    I added an additional cardholder at the point of upgrading and was told he would be sent two cards. They aren't here yet so can't be 100% sure, but it makes sense that they would and matches what I was told.

    When I upgraded I was told that it wouldn't happen until my statement date which is 20th, I have received a letter stating that the switch is proceeding. Also additional card holders will also receive 2 cards.
