Barclays UK refund

deft

I've just discovered £566.55 in my Barclays bank account this morning. It says "Barclays UK Refu" and there's a reference with a 6 digit number and BARC refnd * tfr. I don't recognize any of this, I've never claimed anything. I have a bank account, mortgage, and credit card with them. I've been with Barclays for 10+ years. 

Was there any class action against Barclays recently? Obvs I will call them if I don't get a letter in the post... I saw this moneysavingexpert.com/news/2020/12/barclays-fined-26m-treatment-customers-fca/ but I've never been in arrears so it wouldn't apply to me. 

Thanks.

Call or go into the branch and ask them

Thanks, just to update... I finally received a letter about this, it's a refund from Barclays Blue Rewards. Apparently they didn't pay me the correct reward amount, so they decided to fix that, and also added 8% compensatory interest on it. I'm none the wiser though, as the letter does not explain how they arrived at the (hefty) amount.. it just details the split between the refund amount and the interest applied, and tax deduction. I did switch a couple of accounts into Barclays and benefited from double and triple rewards for several years, perhaps it's related to that.
