I think it's a little early for that - I assume the scheme is not yet launched. They've definitely registered the trademark - https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00003088033 - but I think it's a matter of watching and waiting for more info on what it actually means.0 -
sorry Grumbler, not minimum spends, deposits I meant , £800pm
Is not launched yet I think so won't be on website, been briefed to staff though so can't be far off I assume0 -
You also need at least 2 direct debits paid out.
It's not actually a new account, it's an "add-on" to any of the standard adult current accounts.
Looks like it's not available at all yet, and then for a trial period will only be available to Barclays employees.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -
Sounds good; will have to keep an eye out for this one.# 047 'Save 12K in 2019' - £6,346.86 / £12,000 55.89%# 074 'Save 12K in 2015' - £4,379.25 / £4,000 109.48%0

I wonder what a £7pm loyalty reward is - does that mean that if you use it enough, you get £4 each month? (£7 minus the £3 fee)? Or do you have to give them your first born too?New reward account being launched it seems.

Like the Halifax Reward account I'm guessing (hoping) that this £7 is net of basic rate tax i.e., £8.75 gross. If it isn't then it would be really poor after the deduction of tax and the £3 monthly fee.0
