Hi. Help please. Have reached £3k spend yet have only been issued 25k avios as bonus. I applied via HfP link so it was doubled to 50k. Has anyone else got issues? How do I resolve? Thanks
Give it a few days. This wasn’t a HfP special offer – EVERYONE who applied during the period gets 50k – so if there is a Barclays IT issue it should be picked up pretty quickly.
For everyone who hit the 3K spend in July, has anyone encountered issues receiving the bonus 25K avios on the 2nd Aug ?
I hit the £3k spend mid-July and received the bonus yesterday (Full 50k avios). Is it possible you hit the 3k spend towards the end of the month so they’re still pending? Only logical explanation I can think of
There’s an identical thread running on this which suggests you have to wait another few months.

I dont think OP needs to wait a couple months
They didnt say if the 3k spend cleared or not as suggested above. You need to make sure you hit the 3k before your statement date
I hit the spend 25/7, Avios credited 26/7 (two tranches of 25,000), in my BA Account 2/8, card cancelled 3/8.
I think my statement date is tomorrow (4/8) but I may be on a different cycle now I have cancelled. I certainly didn’t have to wait for it however.

Sounds like their ideal customer. One suspects that Barclays won’t be quite as welcoming as Amex in two years time with another SUB.
They are a private company who made a commercial decision around their own T&C’s. I operated entirely within them and in fairness, they got what they wanted.
I’ve not had a Barclays product of any kind in about 20yrs so this brought me back to the fold. It had me look at their mortgage rates, current accounts etc which I would not have otherwise done. Unfortunately for them, there was nothing enticing for me to see. Which is a shame, because I do not have a good points earning MasterCard/Visa but I see no value in the £20pcm here and my user experience was modest at best.
I suspect their upselling is low so chances of them buying customers with loss make SUB at these levels in 2yrs is not favourable. Whether or not they give me another card is a different matter, but I’ll not lose any sleep.
what happens to refunds if you close your account – say 2months after closure, will they claw back the avios/bonus?
