Are the spending targets towards bonus and upgrade vouchers working for everyone? I've spent well over £1k on the card so far and both counters are still showing £0

Same boat, although all of my charges are currently pending - I wonder whether that has anything to do with it.

Hello all. First time poster here and apologies if covered already.
I'm a Barclays Premier Current Account customer. I joined up to the Barclaycard Plus last night, just wondering - It says first time Barclaycard customer for the bonus. Will having a Barclays Current Account exempt me from the bonus?

If you front your spending via Curve, will you still be able to count this spend towards hitting the targets for vouchers, etc?

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?

I was able to add to Curve OK but have found it a bit hit or miss as to which transactions have gone through.

Same happened to me on Saturday - called and there was a fraud alert due to a larger purchase (only £1k which they don't send to you at the moment due to technical difficulties with the launch) they pull your access from the app. My advice is call the fraud department - they an sort and give you access to the card via the app again. DO NOT delete the app and try and reregister the card - that is a whole new level of pain.

To anyone who has experienced a delay in receiving your card in the post and therefore reduced timescales to earn your bonus, drop an email to [email protected], requesting a formal complaint be logged.
Explain when you applied, when you received your card, the official deadline date for earning your bonus (available on the app). Calculate what proportion of the month you have lost the opportunity to spend towards your bonus (for me it was 1 week).
In my email I made it clear that to resolve the complaint they needed to extend my welcome bonus target date and refund me £5 (for the proportion of the £20 monthly fee).
Within a week, I received a letter confirming refund of £5 plus a £25 goodwill gesture, all credited to my account.
