Barclaycard - Good Behaviour Credit?

in Credit cards
I logged into my Barclaycard last week to get my statement as normal and noticed a credit on my platinum card for £10, it stated it was cash back from Barclaycard.
I was a bit confused about it because I was not aware of any deal or anything like that on the account, so I sent a secure message to ask about it. I received a reply today that states that the credit is because I have demonstrated good behaviour with my card.
I thought it was worth sharing to see if anyone else had come across this before, as their is nothing in my T & C's about it. Not that I am complaining as money for doing what I do anyway is always welcome.

Have you had the card long?
I have a similar deal with Barclaycard where they give me £10 for every 3 months I pay on time. It's exceptionally easy money.
I did know it would happen when I applied, I believe they were calling it the Initial Cashback.0 -
i got £20 quid0

I took the card out about 12/13 months ago, it was a 35 month BT card. I made a BT onto it and have been paying double the min Payment on it, also I tend to pay on the day I get the statement and not wait until the due date.
I have had another look and it does state Initial cashback but I have not had this before. Is it a new initiative as I have 2 other cards with them, so if they get it as well I will be well chuffed!0 -
I know they've run a couple of offers with £20 cash back when you've managed the account well; it's currently been upped to £25.00.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0

Tell me - please - they don't actually refer to the card or your use of it as "good behaviour" do they?0

No, not in the slightest:
Receive £25 cashback after 3 months when you make your minimum payments on time and don’t go over your credit limit.
You will qualify for this offer provided that:
You make your minimum payments on time during the first three months
You do not exceed your credit limit during the first three months
You make a purchase with your card in the first three months
Your Barclaycard Initial account is in good order at the time the cashback refund is due
You have not given us notice to withdraw or to close the account at the time the cashback refund is due
The offer is only valid for customers who do not already hold a Barclaycard credit card product and have applied during the qualifying period 7th March to 22nd March 2016. This offer can be withdrawn at any time
The cashback refund will be credited to your credit card account within 35 days of making your third on time payment.
Received my £20 payment today.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0 -
I'll also look into this.0

I never received this.
I have had my Initial Card for over a year now and have never been late
paying. I pay either the full amount or a large chunk each month on time.
Surely they can't discriminate (pick and choose who they give the £25 payments too)??0
