I was going to do a bit of Sunday admin and get the Barclays Bank account opened, to take advantage of the Avios offer. I’ve set up an account to switch from, so thought I was all ready to go.
However, I simply cannot seem to apply for the damned thing! The website just sends me in an eternal circle of “click here to see how to apply”, the app has no links for applying for accounts, and when I log in to online banking, the “apply for products” bit tells me that I’m “not eligible for feature store”, whatever that might be.
I already have the credit card, and also have other products with Barclays so they know who I am and income etc.
Have they just reached saturation, or am I missing something obvious? Currently I’m joining the “it’s more trouble than it’s worth, but 125000 Avios would be quite nice” crowd.
If anyone has any ideas how I can actually apply for this account, I’d be very grateful.
