    Hi ahall3519,

    Yeah have a look at the website, it's really good and there are others if weddingspot doesn't turn out to be your thing.

    I also have a barclaycard, and I have simply set them up as a payee on my online banking (they give you the account details on their website), and you simply use your credit card number as the reference so that they can credit your payment to the correct account. I pay random little amounts sometimes and I see the deduction in my barclaycard balance almost immediately. But I use my current account online banking to do this, I don't make the payment on the barlcaycard website, so maybe that is the difference...?

    Really? I've not had this problem ahall, how annoying .. I can pay any amount extra, in addition to minimum amount &/or set payment. I send the money from my current account using internet banking. I think that sometimes if you make a payment a couple of days before the payment due date, it can influence how much is taken on the direct debit, but I've set mine to a specific amount, so that doesn't happen in my case.

    Anyone else got any ideas?

  • Hi ahall I also have a Barclaycard and make small payments via the app, I choose 'make a payment' and then 'specified amount' anything over a £1 gets processed. Sometimes if my statement has been generated it will say are you sure? Because it's not enough, but I just click yes :)

    Anyway, my PAD for today is £2.31 to credit card, thanks

    Hi all,

    I've been a bit absent for a few days but have made PADs totalling £5.00 so that's my input for today!

    Hope all is ok Dizzy

    ahall, I really struggled at first because when I tried to make a small payment it would tell me it wasn't enough, but if I click continue anyway and ignore the message it does take my small PADs - that's on the website though. My old BC was set up as a payee on online banking also which was a help.

    Hope everyone is well :)
