Does anyone have a link to the T&Cs for the cabin upgrade voucher? Curious to see if you can upgrade from J to F.

Why on earth would Head for Points not be all over this now it's out in the open? Sounds like their core market. I wasn't particularly interested in moving from HSBC Premier to Barclays Premier for the current account deal but I shall certainly get the Barclaycard and that may replace my HSBC Premier World Elite card.

That means HfP gains more from collaboration with Barclays than breaking the news.
Think like this: all HfP core people are already here and they know it. All HfP can do now is to collaborate with Barclays and capitalise on this.

One assumes they have an agreement with Barclays/Barclaycard not to leak information they've been briefed on ahead of the planned launch.

Barclaycard have presumably slipped up and published pages ahead of time that they either did not mean to publish or thought weren't publicly accessible. Any agreement HfP have with Barclays/Barclaycard not to leak what they know would still need to be honoured.

The other half will move from the BA Amex to the free Barclaycard Avios card for the modest bonus and to reset the clock with Amex.

I have a year of HSBC Premier World Elite for free, but will evaluate at the end of that year whether it's worth moving to Barclaycard, depending on the overall benefits. Being a lowly Brown Bronze, lounge access is a key requirement for me.

also worth nothing that like the old lloyds avios voucher, and unlike the newer amex vouchers, these vouchers must start their journey in the UK.

HfP is mysteriously quiet this morning, I wonder if today is the official announcement of these cards?

Although beware if you have a Hilton card then once you close that, it's gone - you can't reapply. Not sure I want to lose that option for the sake of a bonus.

If you do a quick Google for 'barclaycard avios' you will see a number of promo images for the new cards hosted on HfP since Friday. Assume the info will be released later this morning with 3 x articles across the different cards.

i agree, especially the bonus for the free card is not particularly inviting
