Barclaycard Goldfish Credit Card – redeeming points

I think about applying for barclaycard goldfish credit card.
I like the idea of getting something back for using my card. I always pay it in full.

On the webpage I have red that I can exchange the points for vouchers.

What is the actual VALUE of points?
Let’s say I have 2000 points (after spending £2000). What could I exchange them for?
What is your experience?

    Just received a letter from Barclaycard informing me that the points required to redeem vouchers will double from 1st August 2010 therefore halving the benefit. Have logged onto the website to redeem my points at the current rate and am unable to find any link to able to do so. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi

    Many thanks for posting that URL to the redemption gateway - the normal Barclaycard website stuffs my browser, and I just can`t use it. However that gateway site worked a treat and I am now looking forward to a pile of vouchers coming through my mailbox.

    With a fair wind and a bit of luck, I`ll get a new bike for free - courtesy of Barclaycard Goldfish. :j

    I have tried using the above link to log in and retrieve some of my many Goldfish points but it is not accepting my card number.
    Anyone else having problems?

    I'd just like to point out, por the benefit of thos that found this page though google, that the points ammounts are now out of date.

    Roughly speaking 2500 points is worth £10 in vouchers for everywhere.

    Additionally as per this article, and as mentioned in the newsletter, this will jump up to 3500 points in August so convert them to vouchers now if you still have them.

    MODS/SITE ADMINS - you might want to change the points in the reward points calculator.

    Also, ShadowUK, i had tonnes of problems signing up, just keep trying. I got blocked and had to wait 24 hours to try again after which it worked. Stupid things like not putting forward slashes in your date of birth stop it working.

    Pain in the bum!

    Hi

    I'm also trying to cash in because of the changes to the scheme and don't want to lose value on my current points.

    I'm being a bit naughty and thinking of giving my vouchers to someone as a gift. Does anyone know if it comes in the form of a regular gift card, or is it some sort of voucher only for me to use?

    If I can use it as a gift I'll order John Lewis, if not I'll get Homebase and use it for the house! Would love to know, so would appreciate if anyone can confirm?

    I have had this card for years, since it was goldfish and have always had trouble unless I use internet explorer as the browser.
    I am a few points short of £15 voucher so am frantically spending the final few pounds before end of the month :)
