No, and it likely never will. Maybe all the bloggers pushing the card can raise it with them?

Nope, you're forced into using their app for contactless which then blocks you using Google Pay - absolutely rubbish!

Has anyone recently applied for this card? How long is it taking for them to post the card out to you? I applied on Monday, got accepted with a healthy limit, but still yet to received the card. Wondered if the earlier problems about dispatching are still ongoing??

Same here. After initial rejection (still no hard search on my credit file from that time), this time I received a stonking credit limit too. 👍

I’ve downgraded from the plus to the free version after claiming the 30k Avios. 2 questions.

1. Am in eligible for the welcome bonus on the free card. Even though it’s a paltry 1k?

2. if I choose to upgrade again in over a year. Would I be eligible for another welcome
bonus?

I've had no issues, but I find myself waiting for charges to hit.

No, the welcome bonus is for new Barclaycard holders only (so even if you have another non Avios Barclaycard).

I’m nearly up to £10k spend for the voucher so planning to cancel soon. What’s the best timing to cancel? Just before the monthly fee is charged?
Any points earned will still transfer to Avios after cancellation right?

Has anyone actually managed to persuade them to accept evidence of self-employed income that does not meet their very rigid requirements? If so, how does one go about it?

Surprised I am first to the thread on this one, but I always find these updates helpful!

Currently an uprated sign up bonus of 50k avios (Additional 25k avios) until 18th July 2022. A pretty good deal if you've not signed up yet, even at 1p per Avios personal valuation.

Edit: I am not the first person, just rubbish at searching this forum!
