Switching a Barclaycard 0% spend to a BC rewards card

daivid

I've had a barclaycard 0% spending for slow stooze for about a year and a half and have just BT the balance away. I'd like to change it to a rewards card to give a foreign spending option, at the moment the app says no. Perhaps this is due to the way I've used it, so I will try using it for a few purchases a month, pay in full and check back. Has anyone had success going down that route? My other option is to close the card and try to take out a new one but the last time I closed a BC it was a long time before they would have me back.

I had a Barclays platinum for years and wanted to switch to the rewards card, but the option wasn't available... Until one day it was.

No idea why it was suddenly available though.

you have to close your existing card and wait 6 months then apply for the new one
