Don't forget to cancel Blue Rewards when...

Options
Don't forget to cancel your Blue Rewards account if you cancel, say, a Rainy Day Saver account. I cancelled just the latter, thinking the Blue Rewards was linked and would also be cancelled... only to discover that I have been charged (twice!) for a Blue Rewards account that I thought had gone! :) (Barclays' response was to basically say it was my own fault and they are not returning my money!)

    You presumably have another account with Barclays for them to be taking the ££.

    Canceling blue rewards doesn't close the account you are only downgrading the account
