Had the same problem here ie lack of PIN- suggest registering account on the Barclaycard website if you have the card. You should then be able to access / reveal your PIN there and change it at an ATM if required. You can’t see the PIN on the app since you need the PIN to complete the app registration. Suspect that you will need to complete the registration/ activation before you can link to Curve- I did all this and don’t have a problem linking it. Good luck! Your next problem may be getting through to the Help desk if you need to!

Voucher is already on the BA account so will remain. I've requested downgrade via the app but won't take effect until next billing date - and I sincerely hope no card fee is taken off then!

How typically barclaycard! I might just get my other half to cancel her card when the voucher posts, then.

My two cents - no trouble signing up. The application process asked to access my current account to check income and gave a ridiculously high credit limit - crazy high - new Range Rover high... Got the 5,000 bonus for them being slow to send a card and now downgraded after getting 25,000. All in all, not a bad service.

How soon after triggering the Ł3k spend on Barclaycard did you receive the HFP 5k Avios? I've just spent the required Ł3k on the card and am now waiting to hear from Barclaycard re the 25k Avios bonus.

I am surprised no one has mentioned that Barclaycard appears to have swapped allegiance from HfP to TPG - they are now advertising a new sign up offer exclusive to them! Sounds like a similar deal to that originally on HfP.

So as far as I'm aware the 5k bonus has nothing to do with spend and more to do with how long ago you applied. Ive just hit the target for the 25k Barclaycard bonus and that should turn up next month. I think the HfP bonus was due up to 60days after opening the account…which I’m pretty sure hasn’t happened yet.

I may be being very stupid but where on the app does it show the Avios earned? It says to check on the app but I simply can't find them!
OK I was being stupid, have now found it!
