Downloading transactions from Barclays

Yes, I certainly had a Barclaycard only login at one point - I had the card long before I had a Barclays Bank account proper. Annoying for you but underneath it all Barclays can produce CSV and other export formats. I guess if it hasn't enabled this in its apps it's because it doesn't want to…

Like you I also had a separate Barclaycard online login which is now linked to my main Barclays online profile. I think I set up Barclays online banking first, then linked the Barclaycard some time later, and IIRC there were some hoops to jump through to make the linkage. I can still log in to the Barclaycard account online with the separate login details.
I set my dad up with an online account for his Barclaycard some years ago, and more recently did the same for his Barclays bank account. I've not yet found a way to add the Barclaycard account to the Barclays online profile - it hasn't linked automatically, and given some of the comments in this thread I wonder whether the facility to make that linkage has been removed now.
Not allowing new online registrations for Barclaycard accounts seems a backwards step. Not having access to Barclaycard information in Barclays bank account profiles (as an alternative) suggests to me they want to phase out online servicing of Barclaycards and go app-only.

Weird - mine is a bit different. I already had a Barclays app, and the Barclaycard got automatically added. Recently I registered for Barclays online banking and again can see all the accounts and Barclaycard. However, if I try to get any detailed information on the Barclaycard account, it tries to open the Barclaycard online account (which I don't have and can't register for).
I agree that they are probably keen to go app-only and I'm fine with that (from my understanding these are way more secure) but only if it is possible to download a transaction list!

Barclays has one of the heaviest front ends. The app has endless notifications and their online banking looks like it is competing with First Direct for 2005 vibes.

They have now removed the website, with only the app available. There is no transaction download facility, which is very annoying. I used this to get my transactions into MS Money. What a stupid backward move getting rid of the website. You are completely snookered if you don't have a smart phone or tablet.

Yes, its a stupid backward step. I used to download my transactions every month from the barclaycard website, but its now been switched off. Had the card since the early 2000s.
Supposedly I can register for the main Barclays website, but it doesn't allow me. tried phoning support but they couldn't fix it either.
So I'm stuck on the mobile app, which doesn't have any data export options.
If anyone from Barclays read this - you suck!

- Open a throwaway current account at somewhere other than Barclays.
- Do a current account switch to Barclays, pickup whatever they are offering you to switch.
- They then should link the new current account with the Barclaycard and web access should get restored.
If 3 doesn't work, complain and get at least another £25 paid out.
Note that even if/when you do get web access, the transaction downloads for credit cards is, ahem, rubbish - CSV format with broken data (there are other threads on the credit card forum regarding this).

Thanks. But that sounds like a lot of work. especially if all it gets me is broken csvs
Getting a different credit card is a lot easier…

Picking this back up - I'm not sure if I missed it when I started this thread - but now I can see the Barclaycard in the list of account in the browser (bank.barclays.co.uk) and was able to custom search transactions to filter those from the last few months and download as a .csv. The dates in the civ are different by a few days to those I see online (I guess a transaction date vs clearing date issue) but fine for budgeting.

Who knows how long this will last for?!
