    @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:
    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.
    Hopefully you have learnt something from my wisdon. I do not expect a thank you. Just happy to know that you have taken everything in.

    So you want a credit card that you’re not going to pay in full each month and be charged interest on?
    Yes, you got there in the end
    .....but why!?
    0 Interest meaning you can pay off slowly incase of an emergency/loan or big expense.
    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.....
    Tell me about it. Life sucks

    I genuinely wasn't aware that you could block/ignore people, but I'm glad I am now.  Thank you.

    Back to the main topic at hand - They came back to me with another secure message 7 days later and said 'call the bank' 

    The cheek of this lot. I called the bank was on hold for 4 hours before i gave up. I think i will admit defeat and suck it up. Barclays got me good on this one.
