Barclaycard Graduate

Hello

I've had a Barclaycard Graduate for over 4 years now now and wanted to know how long will I stay on this card before being moved to another. There is nothing on the Barclaycard site that helps?

    If I recall the site only mentions being a student/graduate to open the account.
    Some of these "titled accounts" provide a incentive to attract you to the account but after a period 6mths/1yr the benefits tend not to be so good for you but advantageous for the banks as they pay out little if any interest on your savings/balance.
    Because of the above it is normally down to the customer to move /change accounts.Don't hold your breath for Barclaycard to give you a helping hand but they may increase your limit to increase your debt.
    Have a look around Martin's reconmendations A&L for example and move so you are earning on your money and not the bank/credit card company.
    Good luck.
