Hi, I was wondering if anyone was in the same situation. I have a Barclaycard and used to get balance transfer offers on a monthly basis. I haven’t had any for a while. My situation hasn’t changed and o have decent credit. My current balance is £900 with a credit limit of £13000. I was hoping to do a balance transfer in January 2021. Do you think it is the current pandemic the has affected this and should offers start to gradually reappear? Thanks

  • I've none on my Barclaycard for the first time (I've noticed) in years and others tell the same tale. Not even Mystic Meg will know if they're going to reappear.  MBNA on the other hand still seem to be offering more or less the same deals as usual.
  • Offers are greatly reduced due to the pandemic everywhere.

    Same for me. No Barclaycard offers for months now, but used to get one every month as regular as clockwork. It's not just you. 
  • Thanks guys, glad it’s not just me. However I am hoping they start to make offers available again 🤞🏻
  • No offers for me either on both my Barclaycards for the past few months, thankfully I'm not in need of any, If I HAD to hazard a guess I'm gonna say maybe? Barclaycard are waiting till the end of October when all the furlough officially ends (think it's end of October) and seeing how hard they get hit with defaults. Hopefully they will reintroduce offers soon as they do come in handy for lots of people.
