According to the T&Cs, “you can earn Avios on any purchases”, the only exclusions seem to be when you’re outside your credit limit or in breach of T&Cs etc.
I paid my council tax in full and the spend hit my card today but no sign of any Avios. The detail of the spend states ‘Government Services Not E’ … wondering if ‘Not E’ means not eligible, especially given no Avios have appeared in pending?
No mention of council tax being excluded … thoughts?
… not elsewhere classified
You are overthinking methinks 🙂

Thanks, and here’s hoping – only paid it off for the Avios! Hopefully they’ll appear soon 🤞
I paid council tax recently.
Avios credited correctly.The points are quite often a day or so behind the transaction.
A very happy council though. Let’s hope they use some of your early payment to fix some of those potholes!

TBH, I’m so used to Amex Avios showing up within an hour of spend posting, I hadn’t noticed that my two previous Barclaycard transactions (only got this card for places that don’t take Amex) hadn’t credited on the day. The points are there this morning so all good 👍
Hear hear to the potholes, and perhaps some litter picking!
Foreign currency bought via Travelex posted as a cash advance and didn’t earn Avios for me.
Anything that is a cash advance will not earn points, always been the way with Barclaycard.

You’re lucky you didn’t get charged interest from the purchase date as surely it’s technically a cash advance type transaction?
I had to pay a literally a few £s to BMW Finance a good few years back (£149 from memory) and used my Tesco MC – they charged it as a cash advance as they classed it at using credit to pay credit. I eventually got the charges back from BMW as they conceded their agent should’ve warned me some CC companies do charge these things as a cash advance.
Avios tracker seems to be couple of days behind in the app.
I’ve been using Lloyds MasterCard to pay VW finance monthly, never charged as cash advance. Let’s hope Barclaycard works the same!
