Sorry – we couldn’t link your Barclays current account to your British Airways Executive Club account. This means you haven’t joined Barclays Avios Rewards. If you had a Barclays Blue Rewards membership, we closed it – you can re-join at any time.

Please log in to the Barclays app and try again.

Anyone have any ideas? The sole Barclays product I've got is this card so not sure if downloading the Barclays app might help.
I'm not bothered about linking my BAEC just so that I can see my avios balance in the Barclays/Barclaycard app - but I would like to think that my earned avios (which are shown in the app) do find their way to my BA account. It seems to know my BAEC number so we will wait and see I suppose.

And why does it talk about linking a current account to BAEC, rather than a barclaycard account?
