I don’t understand Apple Pay; why would someone take out their telephone, switch it on, engage with the internet, point it at the pay machine, double click and then repeat because it never works when they can just tap the machine with their card and saunter out munching their sausage roll and dream of the 1.5 Avios?

mine was like that for a couple of days after launch. The. It offer me just the two avios cards. Now it shows the two avios ones and the Rewards type (forex fee free, 0.25% cashback) - this from the old black Cashback card.

Well after everything worked yesterday... today the Barclaycard app (Android) doesn't work (no card linked to your account), both contactless and Chip & Pin failed in Tesco, and failed an online transaction (card is declined). Still lots of teething problems

There are downsides to too much convenience, possible addiction and always being contactable but that’s possibly for another forum !

All I can say is Apple Pay is incredibly quick and easy. I don’t even need to take a wallet anywhere with me nowadays, let alone whip a card out of it.

The Barclaycard website says (annoyingly) that the only way to manage the Avios earned is via the app , so I downloaded that.
I can't see the Avios earned (I've had a statement issued, so would expect to see something).
Has anybody worked out how to view earned Avios?
Do they transfer automatically to BAEC?
Maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
Thanks for any help.

On the home page click the balance at the top of the page, then under the available credit section at the top click "view your Avios"...all details there including progress towards the bonus and upgrade voucher.

Well all I need to do is whip out my device and tap the reader….and it always works for me. This device also holds multiple credit cards, store cards, BA boarding passes, vaccination passes, podcasts and music, allows me to send messages and email, call other people and much else besides. In some cases I don’t even bother to carry a bulky wallet with me.

Well having now made a few transactions using the card in stores I still can't set up to use the card on my phone. If I try to set it up though Android Pay then I get a message saying the card is not compatible. If I try to set it up by going to contactless payment tab on the Barclasy app it says it is not avaliable. I probably make about 98% of my card payments using my phone so this is not going to work If I canlt use it with my phone. Also how do I get the codes to use the Apple TV/Music offer? It ways they are sent when you are accepted but I haven't had anything.,
