barclaycard AMEX

I had heard that Barclaycard do an AMEX which gives you cashback? I can't see anything on their website about this though. Does anyone know how to apply, or do you have to be offered it?

    I believe it's available to existing customers only.

    That product comes with an Amex and a Visa card, where you can get cashback (1% fo Amex and 0.5% for Visa).

    have to ask for it
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I've tried looking for this link, on there website, I cannot seem to find it, although while looking through Secure Message Centre, on their Online Banking system, I noticed a topic called American Express queries, it displayed a URL to go to, but I couldn't find the credit card mentioned in the on the page it took me, just a list of Credit Cards they offered.

    I sent them a message explaining the above, so hopefully they'll reply in 24 hours, if not sooner, with a direct URL
  • You would need to be an existing Barclaycard holder for at least six months to get this. I called them up and they upgraded my Barclaycard Freedom card to the cash back duo. Like you mentioned, strangely enough, there doesn't seem to be any information about this on their website.

    It's for existing customers only, you receive both an American Express and Visa card under the same account.

    Cash back is redeemable at the end of each month or you can save it up until your anniversary year.

    Amex @ 1%
    Visa @ 0.5%

    Works quite well.
  • does anyone know what the cards look like?

    Should be interesting to see if it will survive the interchange fee cuts long term...
