4k free Nectar points from Barclaycard!

Just phoned up Barclaycard to cancel my card.
They offered to credit £20 to my card as an incentive to stay, which I of course accepted :beer:
I asked if the incentive meant I had any tie in period to keep the card for a certain amount of time before canceling. The guy said if I canceled within 6 months "they would look to reclaim the money".
Not sure if he was talking crap or not, but I'm £20 better off and happy to keep the card for another 12 months0 -
I'm responding to my post on the 22nd Sept. I called BC to say that I was leaving because of no Nectar points. The lady on the phone offered me 4k of points.
Well today when I checked my Nectar balance the 4000 points were credited.0 -
Well, I went to close my account, mentioned my friends (that's you lot!) were offered 4k Nectar and would they give me them?
"No" they said unsurprisingly, "but only worth about £20 so we would be willing to credit your account with this instead" - seems the value of Nectar points open to whatever suits their patter as someone else told only £10 !
Anyway I dutifully accepted the £20 - didn't ask if that meant I needed to stay for a period of time, and have no intention of staying after spent my spondoolies.
I'll fight them on the beaches if they try and take it back !
I have had a balance to pay interest so seems my custom was worth something to them - nice to get a bit back for a change !

@walsgravematt - was this today?
I called to cancel my BC and was told the 4000 points/£20 goodwill was withdrawn on 4 October.
I did manage to wrange £15 goodwill (up from the initial £10 offered) out of them though...0 -
Phoned to cancel my card, but before I did I wanted to make sure that they had transferred all the points I had earned from £5K + spending and I am too late!!!
Also no Nectar points offered, nor any Gift vouchers offered or any incintives to stay!!
Ah well..................................Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ..... wow what a Ride!0
