Barclaycard cashback card

Jun 27, 2010 6 Replies

I note that they are changing the terms and basically wiping out the cashback .. you can only get cashback up to 20k/year, and you only now get 1% on amounts over £1500 per statement .. so it's pretty much a



0.25% cashback card now for many people.

Oh well, time to move again...


Agreed! Where do you go, though?

Not sure. 1% cashback on all purchases sounds good - but there's an £18 annual fee so, in effect, there's no cashback on the the first £150 each month. But then there's something about a £10 annual bonus - which partially restores it if there are not too many hoops to jump through.

Thing is, I already have a CapitalOne card - and they hadn't used to let you have more than one. I tried to change to a better one once, and they wouldn't let me apply until I'd cancelled the existing one - and they wouldn't guarantee that I'd be accepted for the new one - so I told them to stuff it!

Sounds like par for the course. I use a Capital One cashback card, 1% unlimited and no fee. But they won't increase my credit limit. It's not that they've refused my request: they say that they don't have any mechanism for cardholders to request an increase. Bizarre. So in expensive months I end up using my old Halifax card (1% on first £20k, no fee) to avoid busting the Capital One credit limit.

I have a Capital One "World Card"

it pays 1% cashback and no annual fee.

Same here.

But I bet they're not accepting applications any more.
