Query on Barclays Blue Rewards

deejaybee

Been considering Blue Rewards ( would need to open a Barclays current account first ) as i have a Woolwich mortgage, so figured i would get £7 monthly for 2 x direct debits plus £5 monthly for the mortgage - less £3 monthly fee of course.

Does the mortgage have to be one of your direct debits to get the £5, or do they pick up the necessary info on application ?

Also regarding the " Rewards Wallet" - do the rewards automatically go there, and can you let them build up for as long as you want, or do they get "swept" into your barclays current account ?

Thanks

I can't answer your first question.

As far as the 2nd question goes yes the rewards go into a separate wallet that you can transfer to your account each month or allow to build up

That's right. I just transfer my rewards straight over to my current account. Sorry I did now, I don't really feel the benefit of £13 a month, and my my wallet says my total rewards have been over £200.
