Barclays Double Rewards switching offer

Ashen

Barclays have their double Blue Rewards switching offer on again - i.e. an effective extra £84 in Blue Rewards.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see anything that prevents customers that have previously done an offer like this from taking it up?

The only thing I can see is this in the eligibility terms, but we wouldn't be doing it "in conjunction" with the old offer.

This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional rewards or cashback offer, including any other Double or Treble Rewards offer, except where expressly permitted by us. This offer supersedes/replaces any previous Double or Treble Blue Rewards Offer that you may be participating in.

Thanks. Saw a few other Barclays switching threads but missed that one, being a couple of pages back.

I don't have a Barclays account so I have no experience with this, but my interpretation of the T&Cs is that if you have an account currently receiving double rewards under the last switch incentive, then this will replace it and reset the 12 month timer. Any time left on your previous offer will be lost, but there is no exclusion unlike many other banks' incentives.

I was curious about the possibility of having multiple Barclays accounts all receiving Blue Rewards so people wouldn't lose out by taking advantage of offers like this if they are say, only 6 months into their last double rewards, however from a bit of reading it seems that although it should be possible according to the T&Cs, technically the system is not set up for it unless you have multiple online banking profiles for each current account.

You can have multiple Barclays current accounts but you can only have one Blue Rewards account. You then nominate which of your current a/cs the Blue Rewards are linked to.
