I used this card for years as my grocery and petrol card until they stopped doing this card, and used to get a lot of rewards and exchange them for £50 Amazon vouchers. I do a lot of Amazon shopping the benefits of this card were huge, and am sad to see them end the freedom rewards for a regular cash back at such a low percentage. Overall I had a great experience with Barclaycard and as it was my grocery card, it was easy to rack up points. Read more Read less

Stay away fro Barclays!

If you ever want to dispute a charge, they'll side with the merchant, even though I sent them emails from the merchant stating they would credit my card back and failed to do so. Barclays still will not dispute the charge. Their call center is of course, overseas, and they are just "robots" that don't help at all. I'll have to file a suit against the merchant now. They do not protect their customers at all. Stay away from this card! Read more Read less

I feel extremely safe with this Card and thank them for the service they have provided over the years. Read more Read less

Over £200 of my money kept by Barclays due to expiry of freedom rewards system and lack of notification (email only which ended up in spam, no other notification other than an email!). No mention of the change on paper or online statements (which still showed the points long after the schemed ended, no mention of it on the freedom rewards website or in the mobile app) No help from Customer services, they simply repeat "We sent you an email" and do not listen or help. Simply an email to tell their customers they have a new scheme is not enough - firstly they have more than one comms channel they could use and secondly they deliberately made that message vague - it should early on have said "you will loose the monetary value of your points unless you take action". Simple. The fact Barclaycard didn't try very hard to get that message across speaks volumes...nice way for them to avoid paying customers what they owe them.. Do a bit of research on how high up the table of poor customer services this company comes and choose more wisely than I did .... AVOID AVOID AVOID. Read more Read less

The app doesn't work, direct debit doesn't automatically cover your first payment, you can only phone them - there's no email or easy online form for contact. Our app shows zero balance, yet we're hounded for payment on an account we've a direct debit set up for. We've wasted hours of time, just avoid. Read more Read less
