    Congratulations to all of you who completed the 'assault course' ...  :).
  • After all the issues I had with the app and being told I had to go in a branch to sort it out Barclays offered £50 due to me complaining 
  • Anyone else had an issue when submitting your security video thing and the message “Connection lost. There was a network error. Please check your connection.”? 

    Ive tried multiple times and everytime i just get this message. Ive tried updating the app and turning my phone off and on but still the same message. 

    Anyone know how to solve this issue? 
  • Wife received her switch reward yesterday.

    She joined Blue Rewards via the website as she got the error message on the app but everything else was done via the app.

    I see on the Barclays site it can take up to 5 working days for cashback to appear and that it's paid either when you get £10 or on the 5th of the next month when less than £10 is earned.

    Has anyone who has switched, joined blue, activated the offer and spent anything less than £200 on the card seen it on the app yet as a pending reward or just people have spent £200 on NI savings and thus already been paid £10?

    I spent around £55 yesterday on the debit card at 2 shops (both payments showing as pending) and will do the weekly shop next weekend for around £100 so just need to find the balance but my cashback rewards is £0 even for pending. I am impatient of course but I would like to know if it'll show as pending eventually and if so, how long?  

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I used my Debit card on Sunday and today it shows in the pending.  I bought trainers last Tuesday and using the card, the shop offered pay in 3 with PayPal and althought it debited as a Debit card purchase, this has not tracked.
  • Opened a new account last week, via the app and amazingly it all went very smoothly!
    Set up Blue Rewards and have started a switch which was confirmed as 27th November.
    Access in & out of the app was fine so very pleased.
    All good so far…….
    However, now (from yesterday evening and again today) every time I try to log into the app I get Error code 00002.
    A message comes up telling me to try again (done that) and if no joy, to contact them via the Direct Call button in the app but there isn’t one - all I have is the entry page where I enter the 5 digit code.
    Any suggestions please?

    Try deleting the app and reinstalling it then signing in again? My Barclaycard app did this after I used the Barclays app to open a cerrent account. Reinstalling the app fixed it.
