hi all

like most credit card users im always on the lookout for a better deal but there comes a time when we have used up all the good cash back offers available.Ive had 4% from capital one 5% twice now with amex and what ever the cashback deal was with morgan stanley a while ago.Then i remembered id applied for a barclays platinum card almost a year ago on the hunch they were going to offer a 5% cashback deal.Unfortunatly this did not happen so i shelved the barclay platinum card until today when i realised that the amex deal was about to run out.

I remember reading possibly on this forum about people asking to cancel their cards as they were not happy with the offers available so i thought id give barclays a final chance.

Without even trying to use my charm cough cough on the very polite lady on the end of the line she offered me 3 months cashback @4% or 6 month cashback @ 3% and a max cashback limit of £50 a month,i took the latter and ran :j

so its probably been said before and will be again and again IF YOU DONT ASK YOU DONT GET....

based on a rough calculation over 6 month i should be £150 in pocket just using the card for normal shopping /expenses etc .

and as martin always says always pay back your cashback credit cards in full at the end of every month or something along them lines.

Maybe I should try that... I have a Barclaycard however it's a sub-prime Initial Visa... but since I've more recently been accepted for a "normal" card I am thinking about trying to convince Barclays to up their game a little! This thread has given me the inspiration, so thanks!
