Cashback from Barclays blue?

I've been told there is a malfunction on the app (or at least my app), hopefully it gets sorted as this offer sounds good, similar to the Nationwide one earlier in the year.

It is not just your app, all my offers in my app have disappeared  and my online banking is showing a error and a sorry message. Barclays are known for their terrible app and the whole system.

I've been using the Barclays app since it first came out and can honestly say I've never had a problem. Have you any evidence to back up your claim that Barclays are "well known" for their systems and app being terrible? 

I would suggest that your offers might have disappeared because they are no longer available to you. Barclays do this from time to time, review accounts and alter/remove offers they feel are no longer relevant or affordable. Only last week I received a message telling me that my overdraft would be reduced from £5000 to £2000, unless I let them know I wanted to keep it. As I've never used it (which is probably the reason for the reduction) I will let it reduce. It's just the way banks work.

Yep. I had actually won a case with the FOS  last year because of their app issue and Barclays not just paid me a compensation but apologised and personally thanked me for highlighting the problem. 

Haha all of the sudden all my offers available yesterday are gone today? I have just had an online chat with them and they confirmed that they are experiencing a system glitch, they are looking into it.

I never use online banking, just the app, but I thought I would log in just to see if anything had changed recently. The layout looks different (better) but pretty much the same. Both app and online working fine for me, so maybe it's just certain accounts. I have balance and money transfer offers showing, but not at very good rates. 3.5% for 12 months on balance transfer and 3.5% for 15 months on money transfer. Not as good as it used to be.

I'm definitely registered now and if I drop down the accounts list I have a Cashback Rewards account. Just done a £42 shop online so fingers and toes crossed that gets me £2 back to start off with.....

Edit - that said I have absolutely no idea who is included in this offer as even now all I can see is Toolstation, Decathlon and Pooch & (bloody) Mutt but if it IS similar to the Nationwide one then hopefully we will all get a little back.

Well I’m quite pleased I asked the question! Hope you all get it sorted about time the big banks started to give us something back! 

Just as an update, I used my card to buy a Greggs breakfast meal this morning ( well I had to try the Cashback out.. and don’t worry super savers I scanned my Greggs reward app 😉) it’s   not showing as pending Cashback yet but read somewhere it can take up to 5 days to appear or nothing until the end of the month then suddenly the amount you’ve earn’t in Cashback appears. Will report back..

in answer to some of the questions, I only happened to stumble upon the offer because of a thread on here someone mentioned about their blue rewards Cashback and I did some digging only to discover in the back and beyond of the Barclays website this new feature subsequently after signing up Tuesday yesterday  I receive an email from Barclays about the Cashback offer.

There was a recent promotion where you had to add your Barclays debit card to Google Pay to qualify for 5% cashback on all spend.

See: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466817/barclays-google-pay-cashback-promotion/p1

I'd have thought that having encouraged us to use Google Pay previously, they would not now disqualify it from this promo?

Seems like an easy enough way to grab a £10 bonus for a few months, spent half an hour this morning setting Blue Rewards back up and arranging transactions to meet the necessary criteria, and if all has gone through correctly should theoretically see the money come through soon. Currently on track for £10p/m from Halifax reward accounts and another £10p/m on the TSB cashback offer, so all in £30 per month from banking rewards for relatively little effort, can't complain about that.

Have stacked the rewards up further with practically all spending going via cashback cards and payments for those cards being held in a Santander Edge Saver at 6.78% until the payment due date. Also grabbed £21.50 in Topcashback account opening offers this month along the way. Looks like we're on for a pretty good end of the year here!
