Cashback from Barclays blue?

My transactions are clearing randomly to the cashback balance, but it took eight days for the first one to appear. There's still plenty of time for transactions to clear to reach the £10 threshold for the month.

Will topping up by revolut account £200 by debit card work for the cashback do you think?

I had spent over £200 on my debit card by the 7th November, all transactions that do qualify for the cashback. The cashback quickly started adding up in my pending balance. However it stopped at £9.69 and has been that for a good week or so now. I have even made a few transactions on the card since then and yet the pending balance still remains at £9.69. I get they do say it can take up to 35 days to track but it’s odd that I received cashback for most of my transactions pretty quickly but all of a sudden it’s stopped.

I'm also experiencing the same thing. Been stuck at £9.67 since 14th November.

Do I need to put £800 in my account before I start receiving the 5% Cashback offer?

My £155 ATG Tickets has tracked for its standalone 1% cashback offer, yet nothing to show it's triggered the 5% cashback yet which, with my petrol, covers my £200 debit card spend for November.

Queried with Barclays live chat and was basically told it could take up to 35 days.

Funny that, a spend with the same merchant in October and the £10 cashback was available to move out to my current account within 72 hours 🤷‍♂️

Just as an answer to my earlier question, if you have airtime rewards to help pay your mobile bill, airtime rewards gift card purchases do track for the cashback. Of course, you have to have the card registered on your airtime rewards app. Great way to get 9% off your supermarket shop for the first £200.

Received a second invite email yesterday to join a scheme that I signed up for six weeks ago, complained about a month ago, and have seen nothing done other than send out two "holding" letters that arrive a full week after the date shown on the letter. I'm expecting nothing to change other than them possibly throwing £50 at me to go away. I'm certain that I will never get a single penny of Blue Rewards cashback, under the 5% debit card scheme or any other promotion.
The only reason Barclays is my main bank account is the offset mortgage.

I feel your pain. Spent more than £500 on the Barclays debit card nearly two weeks ago and zero showing under pending transactions for Cashback Rewards. Anyone I've spoken to at Barclays about this is clueless.

I had a Paypal debit card purchase over £200 cleared on the 13th and nothing was tracking or showing. Now bought £200 in Premium Bonds, which cleared yesterday and so far nothing is tracking either. Seems to be a gamble if stuff tracks or not.

My NS&I PB purchase didn't track for a couple of days, and when it did I could only see it on the website (i.e. after clicking through to the cashback offers webpage), not within the app itself. In fact, it might have tracked quicker, as I was only checking within the app initially.
