Barclaycard finally on Google Wallet

KitKat270

Today I received a replacement Barclaycard Visa Cashback Card (still on the old 0.5% cashback offer), thought I'd try adding to Google Wallet - and wow, it actually worked!!!! After adding it, I had an email from Barclaycard saying it had been activated successfully.

Quite amazed it putting it lightly.

I was ready to ditch them due to mega hassles with customer services and total lack of Android compatible contactless, but they seem to have pulled it out of the bag at the last minute.

Happy again.

Or maybe only some Barclaycards? Disappointing nonetheless

I've just successfully added my Platinum Barclaycard.   

It's not a new card; I've had it for years.

Just a little reminder that when Barclays added Google Pay functionality to their debit cards, a few months later they had a generous cashback incentive but only for people who hadn't already added their card to Google Pay.

For this reason, I'll stick with Curve for now rather than attempt it.

I just got a new Barclaycard Avios card and tried to add it to Google Wallet. No joy. My gob was somewhat smacked, what with this being 2024 and all that. Anyway, I eventually got through to a nice lady in Manilla, or wherever she was, and she told me that there is a process to roll out Google Wallet access to all the Barclaycard brands "over the next few weeks". On that basis I agreed not to cancel my new card and suggested that she should refund the monthly charge until I could actually use it. She says she has done that, so a small result. Let's see if the Wallet access turns up.

I won't be holding my breath. My avios card still doesn't show in the app months after I raised the issue and was told it's a known problem affecting lots of users. They seem slow to fix/improve.

I've just been able to add my Hilton Honors Barclaycard to Google Wallet - great news!

I've also got a Forward Barclaycard but wasn't able to add that - I'm not fussed about that as rarely use it other than to keep it active.

Edited to add: Neither are new cards.  The Hilton Honors one is valid from January 2023 and doesn't expire until October 2027.

I can confirm, I have just added my Barclaycard cashback (formerly egg card) to Google wallet.
