Barclays blue rewards

That is odd... I'm pretty sure mine is black premier. Haven't got it to hand so can't check. Does it say premier account in the name when you logon to online banking?

Is your card black? And does it say premier on it?

Well my account is open and the weekly £1 post office saver direct debit is set up. Just need to shuffle £800 in and out then wait to see if the double reward arrives.

Annoyed that they don’t seem to check premier status otherwise I would have done that instead

They told me on Twitter I need to pay in £4250/month which is around £70k after tax etc

Is the blue rewards based on a calendar month? so must pay in the required amount and have 2 DDs come out in October to get the reward in November for example....

I am thinking of applying for a Premier Account this week. However, i am now wondering whether Barclays will deem my monthly credits enough. I have a basic salary of £55k but i get a annual bonus of between £20-30k and throughout the year i can work abroad and earn extra income, which over the past 3 years has taken my yearly earnings to over £100k. I'm not sure if Barclays will review the account on a monthly basis and deem me ineligible for it. I guess it might be worthwhile opening one and running the account.

I'm not sure they are terribly pro-active about this. I applied for one in the summer to get the double Blue rewards, not much caring about Premier, but as my salary per their questions is over the threshold the website insisted that it go through as Premier. Fine by me. I hadn't even realised there were perks until the man in the branch told me during my switch appointment.

Since then I have only ever paid in the required £800/month funding for the Blue rewards; my salary doesn't go in there. I am half expecting them to notice and downgrade me at some point but they haven't yet, so in answer to your question they obviously don't run checks every month. In the meantime I'm enjoying my free coffee at Patisserie Valerie if I'm passing one though of course as it turns out it might be that PV still goes t*ts up before my Premier is withdrawn :rotfl:
