I left Barclays Blue before three days ago and the Barclays Blue Rewards balance disappeared and I received an email quite quickly about the cancellation. However, I've logged in today and can see the Barclays Blue Rewards balance show up, and it's still at £0.00. 

I don't think my account's properly left, so you guys should also probably check.

Yes, mine has reappeared also. Error VX016 if I try to leave again, so it is probably a bug.

I noticed that my Blue Rewards account has now disappeared again of its own accord. Cashback Rewards is correctly showing I have a limited time to redeem any cashback before I lose access to it too.

You will not receive the £5 Loyalty Reward without also paying the £5 monthly membership fee; both occur on the second working day of the month, so you had/have nothing to gain by waiting this long to leave Blue Rewards.

Is anyone else still waiting for the switching cash? I was only able to open the account, start the switch and sign up for Blue Rewards on 30 Nov, due to problems with Barclays verifying my address, so I imagine I'll be one of the last to get the cash but I'm starting to worry it's not coming now. Could really use it as my shower's just stopped working!

Yes, November's fee was charged on 5th December. Presuming you didn't already leave Blue Rewards, tomorrow you will pay another £5 fee and receive the £5 reward, both in respect of the calendar month of December. If you left Blue Rewards during December, then you won't pay any more fees or receive any more rewards.

I am. I did the switch the same day. Then they said there was a problem and text to say you have until the 5th. I did it the 4th, but Barclays kept saying on the 4th, 5th and 6th a switch was underway. It completed about a week later.

They told me on the chat it should qualify but I don’t believe them - though I have done everything they’ve asked. Probably wait a couple more days before asking again

Me and Mr Cheery both switched on 8th Dec. I received my cash on about 13th Dec I think, but finally got round to checking and he hasn't received his yet 🙄 He did have more trouble verifying identity than me, but after several attempts it did go through successfully, before the deadline, and the switch completed on the same day as mine. Will make a note to check after 28 working days.

Good to know it's not just me! They gave me until the 5th too because they were so slow in sending out my activation code, but I did manage to do everything I needed to do (I believe) on the 30th.

Thx so might as well just leave now and write the £5 off
