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.

Why Bother, Chase is paying 1% cash back, Capital one is also paying 0.5% on foreign transaction. Both are no fee on foreign purchase with MasterCard exchange rate.

• No section 75 protection
• No interest-free period between purchase and statement due date
• Many excluded MCCs
• Reliability issues
• Time limited to 12 months 

I haven't bothered with Chase yet for these reasons.

I've not heard about this Capital One cashback, I thought they had entirely exited the cashback game?

Chase is still useful for daily transaction that does not need Section 75 protection (e.g <£100) such as your daily lunch, dinner, pubs, public transports, groceries, etc.

I Just checked it, my cashback with Capital One was still paid this year January 2022. This is the month they normally pay cashback.

Also there is a bonus of £10 a year if you meet their condition never miss payment, not exceeding your limit.
