Barclays Blue Rewards

numbers123

We now have some answers but unfortunately I can't post links. A quick google of 'Barclays Blue Rewards' pulls up a couple of articles.

Launches next week.
Pay in £800 per month.
Have 2 Direct Debits.
Set up online or mobile banking.

I'm already with them so if the T&Cs are acceptable, I'll go for this £4 gain every month.

I am quite interested in this account as we have our mortgage with Barclays ( Woolwich ), so would get £7 + £5 less £3 fee, so £9 per month.

Wondering whether the £800 + you have to pay in per month, has to be paid in as salary, or if could just transfer it from my existing current account ( Santander 123 ) ?

How exactly could a bank know the source of funds as long as it comes from a different bank's sort code?

Sometimes, there’s no pleasing me. That comment comes from someone who has been paying their Barclays (woolwich) mortgage for the last 24 years and 10 months.:D

I wonder if they'll let you have loads of accounts with this on. It could be Halifax reward all over again...

That would be interesting; I missed the boat on the multiple Halifax rewards and would love to take advantage of this if multiples are allowed.

I will be taking advantage anyway; just applied for a Barclays Bank Account to start the ball rolling; now just need to wait and add the blue reward package when it becomes available.

Barclays just confirmed to me [on Twitter] that you can have as many accounts as you want, "subject to application". Hmm... :rotfl:

Did you ask specifically about Blue Rewards or accounts in general?

That doesn't necessarily mean a reward will be paid multiple times. I hope I am wrong but I suspect it will be one customer gets one reward package.

I'm not convinced it's linked to any particular account, the cashback isn't paid into an account but a 'separate separate digital Rewards Wallet, accessed through Barclays Online Banking or the Barclays Mobile Banking app'

I phoned them as I have an old Platinum account and wanted to know if I could 'link' it to that and the chap I spoke to said (apart from the other prerequisites) all you need is online or mobile banking and a PINSentry device, which suggests it's one per customer
