Barclays Blue Rewards - 2 Direct Debits still needed?

ajo

I did the account switch in August, at the time it mentioned 2 direct debits, I cant see any mentio0n of this now. Can I cancel the 2 direct debits?

Cancel them, or move them to a different account?

I mean are they still needed now the account is set up and to continue getting the Blue Rewards?

Yeah not that hard to find I agree. This is for new customers though.

When I joined it mentioned 2 direct debits, now it does not (for new customers at least) so for an existing customer are the 2 existing direct debits still needed.

There was never a requirement to have 2 direct debits; there was a reward for having them (along with a transfer of at least £800 ISTR?).

The reward has gone now. The proposition is now simply 'pay £5 to get access to these benefits [Apple TV, Rainy Day Saver, Cashback rewards]. There's no advantage if you actually do anything else on the account beside pay the £5.

You never needed 2x DDs for Blue Rewards, but you did used to get a £5/month reward for paying out 2x DDs each month (technically this could even have just been a single DD which paid out more than once a month). They've ditched that reward a few months ago so there's no benefit to keeping them if you would rather cancel them or move them elsewhere.

Thanks for your help and replies. I think the 800 a month still applies for the rewards, I have seen an email where the 800 wasn't paid in and said they will have to remove AppleTV+
