Barclys Blue rewards - Double still continuing?
Comments

Finally got to look ... and yes, nice little double bonus (Aug & Sept)
Thanks you Mr B. Long may it last.
Does anyone remember when the deadline was for that switch deal? Was it something like Nov last year? I know I did mine at the start when the original double Blue Rewards was just ending... just wondered if that was the glitch in the system. It's not usually in the customer's favour!!!

Me too... but I'm still thinking an end date may be looming!- the original switch deal t&cs would reveal more ....... but that's too much work. Long may the rewards continue

I'm out of pocket on these, I think it's been 2 years since I opened it, got double rewards for 1 year, all last year just the £7 reward, and this month only got £3.50??
so after the £4 fee i'm losing 50p/month. is this an error or is it time to ditch the account?0 -
Presumably this month you only had one qualifying DD? If you had the required 2 then you need to query it with Barclays 'cos it could be a glitch.fenwick458 said:I'm out of pocket on these, I think it's been 2 years since I opened it, got double rewards for 1 year, all last year just the £7 reward, and this month only got £3.50??

I assume everyone else getting the double rewards did a switch with them last year- you were able to switch into an existing a/c.
In 'normal' circumstances you would still be getting a teeny profit of £3 pm, which is now a good deal more than some other accounts are paying!

My first reward was November 4th 2019 so probably no more double rewards from now on.Katiehound said:Me too... but I'm still thinking an end date may be looming!- the original switch deal t&cs would reveal more ....... but that's too much work. Long may the rewards continue1 -
That's kind of what I thought. Shame if it does finish , but not a big surprise!crumpet_man said:
