In the rather perplexing app, if I click on offers and promotions, I get a strange resolution error. And if I click 'spending', I get a mysterious message saying 'two accounts' which, if I then click, crashes the app.
The linkage between BA and Barclays has eventually worked. But didn't Barclays basically introduce the credit card to the UK market..? What went wrong?

I managed to get Apple TV+ working (although there don't seem to be any apps for smart TVs or Android so am stuck using it on a computer) but Apple News still stubbornly refuses to work!

News+ did not work for me on my Windows laptop but worked fine on iPhone.

I still have no link to Avios in the app, which I have deleted and reinstalled on my iPhone numerous times and have now also installed on an iPad. Each time I register the card, the app hangs saying ‘Registration complete, just a few more steps to finish setting up…’ so I guess that is the issue!

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.

I applied on the 29th March and didn’t receive an instant decision. I was meant to be contacted within five working days with a decision. Haven’t heard a peep!
I talked to them on the phone and the woman couldn’t even find my application, as I’ve received no reference number or anything. I did receive a hard credit check and I have my screenshots of the whole process. The company are a shambles.

Is there a way to activate the card without the PIN? I have received the card several days ago but not the PIN. I am looking to book an expensive BA Hols today and would like to put through the card. But whichever way I try to activate (including app) it wants me to enter the PIN to activate...

Thank you, I downloaded and registered via the Mobile App and it wanted me to enter to PIN to continue. The web browser registration worked without the PIN.

Hi, have you actually been credited the HfP 5K Bonus Avios yet?
