As I have a couple of monthly savers which I can pay by debit card I'm going to try to see if I can do the £200 in one foul swoop. Any reason to think it won't work?

*fell swoop. Yes, financial transactions are excluded in the T&Cs.

Its our accent.......I knew it sounded wrong haha.
Ah right cheers. Just trying to maximise this, the Santander 1% and the 20 TSB payments for next month.
Lot of plates spinning.

Does the new month start on the 1st November?

Don't know, hence why I am waiting until after the 5th before recommencing my Barclays DC usage.

Had to pay HMRC after a shortfall in last years tax. I paid with my Barclays debit card. Surprisingly this qualified for cash back

Forgive the obvious question - why would the (cashback) month not start on the 1st?

I've spuffed £60 this morning on the debit card so will find out in a few days, but I can't see why it wouldn't be counted as month #2

My assumption was based on the fact that the promotion started on the 5th (edit: no, 4th), and the 5th is referenced in the terms and conditions (IIRC) regarding the payment of cashback <£10.

Having re-read the offer, it does say £10 per calendar month, so yes, today should be start of month #2

5% cashback can be earned on each debit card transaction using the Visa debit card on your nominated Blue Rewards account, up to a total cashback value of £10 per calendar month.

Barclays just added a switching offer for £175, from new customers only must have the 2 DD for the blue rewards, does make me wonder if the cash back is already playing up and the customer services don’t know about the offer how much it’s gonna be messed up now with an influx of new customers

I've just idly looked into the other things to redeem, and it seems a bit odd that they don't have Avios despite the existing partnership with Barclays Premier and the two Avios credit cards, while you can redeem cashback as Avios in the almost identical RBS / Natwest rewards portal. Is this due to the Barclays promotion being run by Visa?

Blue Rewards Fee - Taken twice??

Yesterday, as normal, I had a transaction appear in my Barclays current account:

Barclays Blue Rewards       - £5.00

Today, I have had another transaction appear for the same amount

Blue Rewards Fee CB       - £5.00

Will obviously chase up with Barclays later, however, has anyone else had this double debit and knows what the second one relates to please?
