Anyone any the wiser about the HfP 5k bonus avios? They’re not showing in the Barclaycard app (which I’ve managed to get to show my current avios and progress towards the voucher, albeit rather laggy as mentioned elsewhere in the thread). What not showing at all is the bonus.
I also need to take Barclaycard to task on my target date, as it’s showing as a day after my application, but given that I didn’t get the card for two clear weeks after I applied, I’m not having that.
So, still some teething issues but most stuff is working fine for me now the card has arrived (and I didn’t have any of the “prove your income” hassle either, FWIW),

We have received a supplementary card but there doesn't appear to be any way for the other card user to access anything online or in the app - chat has not provided any help there.
I applied at the end of March, and on 6 April I had a 'monthly avios activity' email with the following useful information:
From 1 March 2022 to 31 March 2022, you collected* Avios with Barclaycard.
Since you started collecting Avios with us, you have collected a total of Avios.

I still don’t have any link to check Avios in my iOS app. It seems this may have resolved for others? (I still have the thing with the app not opening first time, every time.)
In all other respects, it’s been relatively painless - card arrived a few days after application, activated and PIN obtained online, reasonable credit limit given after uploading tax calculation and 4 months bank statements (I am self-employed with irregular income). But this is all for naught unless I can confirm I’m going to earn Avios….which can only be done in the app, which appears borked for me.

Dual Avios Reward
Anyone received £5 Dual Avios Reward yet?

I have not. I asked about missing Dual Avios Reward using the in app chat. The agent said I didn’t have Avios Rewards activated on my premier account (I definitely do). I’ve now filed yet another complaint.

My first statement was this month, looks like discount won't show up until next month judging by that document? Not optimistic they'll manage it given that on the same day Barclays texted me to congratulate me on a year of Premier and that my voucher had posted (actually showed up weeks ago) they also emailed me as a new customer of Premier 😂🤦

Finally been able to link the Barclays account to my BA account. Not sure if that was a hard link (i.e to aid the transfer of Avios) or just a plugin to view my Avios balance within the Barclays app (just what I wanted!!) but after several errors in the last day it is done.
I didn't need a PinSentry to register on the mobile app. You sure you need one?

I must be one of the few people that have had a smooth experience with this card. Applied for the plus card using HfP referral link for the additional 5K Avios. Approved instantly with £20K credit limit. Card arrived OK and works. The only thing I don't have is a Pin sentry device to finalise setting up the app but the desktop site is working OK.
I think I'll count myself lucky looking at this thread. Assuming it keeps working OK it will probably replace my HSBC Prem WE card for non AMEX spend moving forward.

The first thing I did was visit a Barclays ATM, and changed the PIN, and have never had an issue spending on it. Adding to Paypal was without issue, and I don't have a card with a stupid nickname to worry about.
The only issues are Apple Pay, (a nice to have thing) and I can't add it to my saved cards on Hilton's website, but I can use it to pay there.
Some of the moaning and petulance has been laughable, especially while there has been people who have had proper cause to complain.
I'll end up binning the Tesco Mastercard which was my Amex Backup.
This card has been a great addition.

Have a look at Curve as a workaround. You can add your Avios Barclaycard to Curve and add Curve to Apple Pay. It won't affect your Avios earning and it'll give you a £500 monthly foreign transaction allowance, avoiding the Barclaycard FX fees.

Thanks, but I don't need Curve, and have patience to wait for Apple Pay.

BTW - for anyone else unable to sign up for the free Apple TVplus/music/news offer, I was told today that this is a “known problem with a target date for being fixed of 11th April” (!) - so that sounds… convincing…
