Hey, I've just got my first Freedom Rewards Card from Barclaycard. How does this work? What do you think of it? Is it worth it?

You earn points for spending on the card. You can also earn points for balance transferring to the card (they always offer me transfer deals and I did it once and got a whole load of points). You can also earn more by shopping at certain retailers (50 top brands). Sometimes they have offers to boost the number of points earnt.
Once you have enough points, you can exchange them for vouchers for certain retailers / restaurants. You'll have to look at the freedom rewards site for a full list.
e.g. 3500 points gives you a £10 Currys voucher.- Collecting points
Points will be collected at a rate of:- UK Supermarkets: 2 Points per £1 spent
- UK Petrol: 2 Points per £1 spend (which includes petrol, diesel and LPG)
- UK Programme Partners: 3 Points per £1 spent. For a list of partners, see our website Barclaycard.co.uk/freedomrewardsopens in new window
We may offer bonus Points on selected purchases from Programme Partners at our discretion.
What do I think of it? Do you think it's worth it?
I think it's fine if you can use the points at the partners that you can redeem the points for. If you don't shop at / dine at any of the partners, then you'd just be forcing yourself to spend with them. There's a reasonable selection anyway. Some people prefer cashback so they aren't restricted to where the reward is used.0 - Collecting points
