Barclay’s £175 Switch Offer July 2024

Is the original poster able to remove the apostrophe from Barclay's in the thread title. It's jarring on me when I scroll through this forum !

Hi, can I ask when does the Blue Rewards £5 payment usually go out - it's due today (2nd) but it hasn't been taken from my current account as yet. It should go out automatically, right?

From Barclays -

“The monthly fee for Barclays Blue Rewards is taken from the nominated account on the second working day of each month. The first monthly fee is taken in the month after joining Blue Rewards”

that would make it tomorrow then.

opened account on Saturday and paid in £800and did the switch, signed up to blue rewards thing.  Monday get a message saying they can't do the switch from my virgin account and that they will be sending me a letter out.  App was working fine on Saturday, now I can't login...When I enter my pin it comes up with "00002 Sorry, something has gone wrong" with it saying to try again at a later time.

Then receive email saying I need to pay in £800 to use the blue rewards thing errrr there is already £800 in the account......No card has been sent out.  I get the feeling they have closed the account.  I was with Barclays 12 years ago and didn't leave on the best of terms however I never owed them money.

No letter received and its now Thursday.....honestly what a shambles...

The letters will be in the app documents area. I know this is still a problem for you but don't assume the account and processes aren't still live.

Cheers

Yeah see this is the problem letters are in docs area i don't doubt but with no access to the app, it's a pointless exercise them sending it to them.

Going to give it until Thurs this week and if they haven't got in contact via letter then i'll be calling them up.  Received letter on Saturday saying the switch wasn't going ahead after a review of my account and that they would be getting in contact separately.  

Not worried about the £800 as I know i'll get it back at some point just that I don't want to end up being passed from department to department.  As I said the whole thing is a shambles, haven't had this with any other bank i have switched to either.

I suppose this shows why I ended up leaving them in 2012 lol

Well I have had to take a day off work today to get this sorted as everytime I phoned up there was a 50 minute wait.  today was slightly better at 30 minutes..  Lovely lady at the call desk got me access to my account online however the app is proving to be somewhat of a pain in the backside.  Have had to re-register to try and get back on the app, currently waiting on my 3rd attempt with the security video/driving license photo thing.

Letter received dated the 7th August stated that after a review of my account, they would be unable to continue with the switch and would write out to me.  However, nothing has been received from them.  Once I get access to the app will try the switch again and see if it goes through as in the grand scheme of things time is quickly running out as it needs to be started in before the 30th! 

Certainly one of the hardest bank switches I have had lol

Well looks like the switch completed today, however no £175 and £5 taken out for the Barclays Rewards lol.  Anyone had the £175 credited after the cut off date yet?
