Has Barclaycard pulled the no foreign ATM fees deal recently - the webpage today makes no mention of this benefit ?

Maybe new customers only ?

    The card is now marketed as "Platinum Cashback" rather than "Platinum Cashback Plus" - I am guessing the "plus" was for the ATM withdrawals.

    The summary box also mentions "Non Sterling Transaction Fee: 2.99% of transaction (no minimum)" so looks like there is no more fee-free foreign transactions either.

    EDIT:
    I have the "plus" version of the card and it clearly states on the statements "no fees on non-sterling purchases and cash withdrawals"

    Thanks Gary - that's how I read it.

    Hopefully the fee free deal at ATMs abroad still applies to existing card holders.
  • If you are an existing “plus” card holder then yes - this will apply until August 2023 I believe along with the cashback

    The website states



    Foreign Usage

    Payment Scheme Exchange Rate: Depending on your card type, rates can be found at either Visa or MasterCard
    One or more of the following MAY apply

    Non Sterling Transaction Fee: 2.99% of transaction (no minimum)


    Perhaps it depends on each individual customer's offer.... as does the APR charged.

    Apparently, the offer for fee free transactions abroad is no longer available for new customers. Barclaycard has reserved the right to withdraw the offer at any time.

    Hmmm, I applied for this card last week. Some of the screens referred to Platinum Cashback Plus, and other just Platinum Cashback. I thought it odd at the time.

    I'll have to give them a ring tonight and check which card I've got before I go withdrawing cash on holiday.

    Apart from that, they haven't done a good job with the editing;
    Even though there is now nothing mentioned about free overseas usage, they still have;
    Remember to pay or take out cash in the local currency to benefit from the 0% offer and Visa’s competitive exchange rate. Find out more about using your card abroad.

  • Barclaycard have confirmed that existing cardholders will continue to enjoy the fee free foreign ATM deal etc. until 2023 - and 0.25% cashback.
  • Correct.
    And I believe new cardholders has 0.5% cashback for the first 3 months as well
