Barclaycard £50 voucher offer

I noticed this too, also told it will be 2.5 per cent. Also says this on website terms, could print these out if you are worried. Find out your bill cycle date; mine is 6 November. Make purchase now, pay over telephone before bill cycle date. Then make balance transfer after this date.

Or you might consider making purchase anyway, paying £11 in interest (£1 month min) in return for the extra time you accrue interest, which might work out at more than £11 if it is a month, which will mean you are up on the deal.

I got my card in post today again with no mention of offer (think i orderd it last friday). i phoned to activate card and although no pin yet i am able to use it for online purchases..I spent 24p on the card within an hour of activating it (by buying a second class stamped envelope from royal mail website which can be printed directly onto a blank envelope - a great tip for anyone who wants to do a quick minimum spend to be elegible for the voucher) and it went through fine. Just about to try and phone barclaycard up to see if i can pay of the 24p today from my other visa debit card. does anyone know where i can find a SET OF terms and conditions for the offer - not sure now if they wanted a min spend of £1 or any amount will do.

I applied, and was expecting to receive some information / something to sign.

Instead, within 2 days, I had the card sent to me, with a credit limit of £10K!! Speedy service, but even so!

I didn't expect to see anything about the offer - when they send the cards out, I wouldn't expect them to discriminate between who applied via MS.com and who didn't. So I've spent on mine, and will expect that spend to trigger something on their system to send me the voucher after 30 Nov.

Still waiting for mine. I took a bit of a risk ordering it rather closely following my Shell citicard, but hey, what the hell!

Just spoke to the activation team who confirmed the offer. You have to spend ANY amount before 30/11/07 in any shop. After 28 days you will receive a statement. After payment of this, you will receive the voucher (28days after payment). :beer:

Voucher can be spent in currys, boots, hmv, jjb, virgin, woolies etc:j

My letter with the card in also didn't have any mention of the offer...so when I called up I confirmed the offer I got. Be aware, running about the same time as this offer was another offer for £10 house of fraser offer so make sure you check which you are on!:D

I received my card today and when I phoned up to activate it I was told that internet applicants only get a £10.00 voucher. So I hae told them to cancel the card.

That's not right - you HAD to apply via Moneysupermarket.com to qualify for the £50, so it had to be online, surely?

I would have insisted on having the £50 - and I will if they challenge it!

I've just activated my card and the woman I spoke to didn't know about the offer. She said they normally come up on their systems but said it hadn't.

She told me that when they do offers after you've spent on your card it takes around 45 days for them to send you whatever they were offering. She told me this would happen automatically and I wouldn't have to fill a form in.

I hope that you have not been hasty.

I've just activated my card, and the guy I spoke to told me that a '£50 high street voucher offer' WAS showing on my account, and I just need to make a purchase to get it sent to me.

He also confirmed the 0% BT charge will be 2.5%, (not 2.9% as shown on the back of my welcome letter) and that the 2.5% gets added onto the BT total and won't accrue interest.

Hope this info helps someone.
