Barclaycard Freedom Rewards - How many points do you earn on a spend?

in Credit cards
I currently have the Lloyds Avios Credit card. So whenever I spend I earn 1.25 Avios points per £1 on the AMEX card, and1.25 points per £5 on the MasterCard.
But I'm a little unhappy with Lloyds Bank in general as I've had nothing but trouble with them over the last few months, so I've generally been shopping around and just stumbled across the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards, and I just did the eligibility checker which gave me an 8/10 chance of acceptance, and when looking at their partners, I use a lot of those services where you can redeem points.
I can see on the website that it says you earn double points when shopping at supermarkets or petrol stations, but there's nothing about how many points you can earn per spend..
Does anybody know? Or is it different? And does anybody have any experience with this service?

Actually, I just found the answers I was looking for eventually, but if anybody has any reviews of the card or anything then please do reply0

It's one point per pound spent, unless it's in a supermarket where it's two points. You need 1750 to get a £5 voucher. It's not great TBH I believe an ASDA cashback card give more back.
I've got one but hardly use it anymore, I do get 0% offers on money and balance transfers every month.0 -

I guess that isn't a lot..but right now I'm only earning Avios points because I've got double points for the six month's I've had the card. But I've realised it's going to take me a while even still to build up those points.. But I like the card because I can use it abroad so I am still deciding if to switch or not. I'm unhappy with my current accounts with Lloyds and Halifax so I was maybe even thinking of moving them both over to Barclays in general0
