Same question discussed here: - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80065244#Comment_80065244

No definitive answer there either.


Barclaycard Twitter offering no direction either. Just suggested the customer to make a complaint!!!

Late update but had a conversation with Barclays customer support about this, they said they're looking at supporting Google Pay for Barclaycard but had no timeline on when that might be.

You can link a Curve card to your Barclaycard and use the Curve card on Google Pay. Effectively giving you Barclaycard purchases on Google Pay.

A workaround but not full protection. 

Effectivly zero S75 cover and any chargebacks go via Curve and their customer service isn't always great.

You get equally little S75 cover with any payment under £100 via Google Pay.

You do get full Section 75 cover with Google Pay:

No.

One party has the incentive to retain custom. The other doesn't. 

Curve will be making a loss on the transaction by getting debit interchange whilst paying credit interchange and doing unpaid admin at every point of the chargeback going forward.

Barclaycard will have the potential for lending money, cross selling and further interchange to make a profit.

I agree with every word you've written, but I don't know what it has to do with my point about payments under £100 not benefitting from S75...

Chargeback is ultimately a service - a profitable company and one that wants an ongoing relationship has more impetus to perform than a loss making company 😉
