  • A similar facility is now on offer for £5.99 per month.

    I've been looking for this on the Barclaycard site and can't see any sign of it. Do you know where it is or what its called?

    ...- i'm not sure what you mean regarding the pricematch facility and the highstreet prices though - do you mean that they will only match highstreet prices (whether or not you an bought an item on the highstreet using your citi card) or that all internet shopping is excluded?

You must pay for the item in full, with a single transaction using your Citi Card, for cover to be in force. Please retain this Evidence of Cover in a safe place as it shows the cover we are providing and the procedures you must follow to obtain the full benefits.
    1.0 DETAILS OF PRICE PROTECTION
    If you buy an item with your Citi Card and then find the same item for sale at a cheaper price at any retail store anywhere in the United Kingdom then we will refund the difference. You must discover the cheaper price within 60 days from the date of purchase. The item must be exactly the same make, model and specification, and must be available to the general public at normal retail outlets in the United Kingdom.
