Barclaycard Initial with Cashback

rogerbarton

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I read this newsletter from Martin Lewis: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips/01-07-2015/#credit

- New. Earn £40: Spend & fully repay monthly and Barclaycard Initial* will credit your account with £10 every 3mths. In fact, to get the £10 you just need to either spend or be repaying an old balance each month, making at least the min repayment - however, that will mean you pay interest, so we prefer you stick to repaying in full.

I eagerly clicked the link and ordered my new credit card from there. When it arrived, however, there was no mention of the cashback whatsoever. When I queried via secure message, I was told to "please note that the terms under which you signed up are not eligible for the cashback you desire."

Can anybody shed some light on what has happened? It seems like Barclaycard and MSE have removed all mention of the cashback card other than in the archived newsletter I have linked to. Yet I can confirm with great conviction that I applied for the card with the correct link...

Here’s the link where I could find any mention of this deal. I would go back to Barclaycard and tell them you have proof that there was an offer and see what they say.

Here's another thread relating to a similar offer:

Thanks for that, Candyapple. I actually went back to them just with the link to the MSE newsletter.

They replied quoting the terms and conditions you've linked to - so it looks like they're going to honour it.

All very rum as to how it was swept under the carpet so quickly. I'll have to check back in after the first three month period to make sure they credit me!
