RIP Barclaycard Cashback Platinum for everyone?

in Credit cards
I've had the Barclaycard Cashback Platinum for years and it had two benefits: 0.25% cashback, and free foreign currency spending. Just got a text that after 31 October all foreign currency spending will end. Are there any alternatives from Barclaycard?
Shame that this is over.

I've just semi-reluctantly parted company with my 0.5% Barclaycard. 100,000 Avios was too good an opportunity to miss.
Yes, download the app and switch to a Reward Card. You get the same perks, just without the Platinum name. Oddly enough my statement says the offer (0.25% cash back, and 0% overseas) expires on 31 August 2023, but I still got that text! I phoned to query that, but when the wait time was advised as 60 mins I just swapped to the Rewards Card.
Do you have a link to that product please?
*EDIT* Nevermind, I've found it - I was looking in the wrong website section
