Barclays Blue Rewards

For those just wanting to cancel their Rewards membership:

Intrigued as to what Barclays mean in the last point!? You cancel Barclays blue rewards, you no longer get charged the BBR monthly fee but you continue to pay the monthly fee until your BR Wallet is closed.

So you both do and don’t get charged the monthly fee? Only Barclays are capable of this level of complication, will be glad to be rid of them. Is the wallet closed separately? Is the monthly fee due twice normally? I only pay it once £4 and it won’t be charged when I cancel rewards but it will be charged until I close the Wallet. Hello Barclays I want to close my wallet.

We will no longer charge you the monthly fee, but we will still take money equal to the fee from your account on a monthly basis.

Makes perfect sense.

Edit sorry it's not in order, taken with phone and I can't edit properly for some reason

Due to this, I just switched one account to HSBC for the £150 switch deal and the other I will move once my Mortgage is out of it fixed rate and I can remortgage to another bank without charges. Barclays will then have none of my money in it.

Exactly the same!
Might even consider actually closing the account: that's seriously bad news....
All I can say is the double rewards were good whilst they lasted.
Adios Barclays!!

I'm not sure why everyone's in such a hurry to leave?

The current scheme runs for another 2 or 3 months.

The new scheme won't actually cost anything if there are still two DDs. 

£5 fee, £5 credit if you have two DDs, more if you have a mortgage or insurance.  No actual loss.

So nothing to lose by staying is there?  At least until there's another switching offer that can be used!

And there are the as-yet-unannounced "offers and special extras".  I'm staying to see what those might be.

They might be rubbish, but might not be.

My thoughts too.

Barclays is my main account, I won’t be moving.   Hope they don’t scrap the Little Book of Wonders though!
