Looks like my 5000 HfP avios have posted on by BAEC account. Nothing showing on the Barclaycard side of things but this is seen on the BA app.

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!
Thank you, sir! That worked just fine. Rather convoluted process to register as per usual it seems but all working now!

Has anyone downgraded to the free card after triggering the upgrade voucher? Will I lose it or will it remain on my BA account?

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.

All the HfP 5k bonuses were posted last Friday, well ahead of schedule.

The HfP bonus hasn't hit my BAEC account yet. Fingers crossed!

I was wondering if I'd be able to prove I signed up via H4P, when I noticed this in my contract information...



...not a problem. lol

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!

Can you point out where on the Barclaycard website I will find that so, if required, I can prove my sign up was via H4P?
Thanks
