Barclaycard Interest Rates the Best

I’ve had a Barclaycard credit card for over 5 years and the standard interest rate has always been the lowest on the market. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

The Only Credit Card you will need

Barclaycard have an amazing app that’s easy to navigate and simple to set up, but that’s just the start of an amazing service offering the rewards and points you gain stack up and stay stacked for years so you can build as much as you need and use when you please. Points near expiry and you get an email and text reminder with time to use them. The best part the points can be used to basically any and every service and redeem for so many vouchers in ever category! Credit limit and review is done every year and you have options to auto allow the increase or allow with approval. During coving a new feature to stop increase or decrease limit without affecting spending was added and it has become one of the best cards on the market. Closed 2 other accounts after reaching the joint limit in my Barclaycard and decided to only use this account as it had the highest credit limit with lowest interest and has so much more to offer!

Trustworthy card

When I need it, it is there! Balance transfer, holidays or every day necessities. Reviewed on: 9th July 2022

No communication

Redeemed my rewards over 2 weeks ago. £100 available which I expected to have in my Amazon account. Removed from Barclaycard immediately and still waiting to be transferred. I was so looking forward to spending with Amazon. Unable to talk to anyone or email. Reviewed on: 31st January 2022

Need to get act together

no response from online points redemption after several attempts After making phone call was advised by recorded message that due to technical fault was unable to redeem points online or by phone ie. no way to redeem points! Eventually placed order on line several days later and received confirmation that delivery would be by email (in 10 minutes). Well one hour later NOTHING!! I am off to bed and my long standing relationship with Barclaycard is at an end. Thanks for messing a 77year old about. Reviewed on: 30th November 2021

Website doesn't work

A nice idea for a rewards card, but I have stacked up points which I am unable to use as the website has been 'under maintenance' for weeks now. Before this, all e-vouchers were 'out of stock'. I tried speaking to someone on the Barclays chat app who was less than useless and barely took my complaint into account, let alone let me know when it would be back up and working. Very disappointing. Reviewed on: 26th November 2021

It's a scam

The Barclaycard Freedom Rewards website to redeem points for vouchers has been down for the past three days. What a surprise, when people want to maximise their points by redeeming them to use during Black Friday sales. Also, before the site went down, the GBP50 Currys e-voucher was 'out of stock'. How on earth can an e-voucher be out of stock?!? Just a con to prevent people maximising their rewards. Barclaycard Freedom Rewards should be scrapped and people should choose a card from another provider that gives fairer rewards. Reviewed on: 25th November 2021

Ridiculous wait for electronic voucher

Received an email informing me some points were about to expire so shopped for an electronic Argos voucher - says delivery within 10 minutes - received another email stating because of high demand this could take 48 hours!! How can they justify this huge disparity for an electronically delivered voucher, there's certainly no warning on their website. It will likely arrive when the item in Argos is out of stock . . .disappointing. Probably another reason to switch to MC now Amazon won't be accepting visa payments after Jan 19th!!
