    So you want a credit card that you’re not going to pay in full each month and be charged interest on?

    Oh please! This doesn't seem to have lot of relevance to the thread title! .......Blue Rewards more like the odd rant.
     I'm sure now is the time to become completely self sufficient grow your food, barter with cowrie shells... whatever.
    Luckily my Blue Rewards are doing fine thank you
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    @xlnc99 did you look into the co-op current account with Everyday Rewards? To get £5.50/month in rewards with no fee, and get rid of the Barclays account that seems to be causing you so much grief?

    PS. I'm currently getting £32 per month (£36 in rewards minus the £4 blue rewards fee) from Barclays. I've been getting this amount for 18 months now, and will get it for another 6 months or so. Just out of curiosity - does that seem a "fair" amount to you? Barclays to pay you for the privilege of having you as a customer? :smile:

    0 Interest meaning you can pay off slowly incase of an emergency/loan or big expense.

    Co-Op are not a fan of me. I have applied before a few times and always get rejected. Dont want another hard search with them. Personally dont like them as a bank. £36 - how?

    It's a shame that Barclays don't feel the same about you as the Co-Op Bank.  It would have spared us your deluded ranting on this thread.

    I said you WANT to be charged interest on, not a 0% offer. 
    If you can’t even open a mainstream bank account then don’t expect any lenders to give you a mainstream credit card. 
    Jeez.....
