I doubt we'll see that any time soon. Barclays seem to be sticking with their own app.

Paraphrased.......
I think Raffles previously suggested (on HfP forums) to use Curve as a workaround until Apple Pay was enabled!

I've had both 5k bonuses (sign-up and HFP) on both mine and my wife's cards. The HFP bonus went straight to BAEC, bypassing the Barclaycard accounts entirely.

Just checked mine direct on the BA site just in case it's done the same. Sadly not.

All HfP bonuses were dropped directly into BA accounts around 6th May.

Have not received the 5k bonus.
I am sure that I did apply via the HfP link, but cannot find where I can locate the application contract/documents to check. Any ideas, Rob, how to find it?

Still can't get Apple Pay to work. "Contacting Card Issuer" is soon followed by "Card Not Added".

EDIT: I take it back. No sooner had I posted and I got it work (on the 5th attempt!)

As stated before, definitely not all. Mine didn't (despite H4P being on my contract docs).

Do Barclays offer a referral bonus for these cards?

My 5k bonus landed fine but I also noticed that I am finally getting the £5 rebate on the Barclaycard £20 fee into my Premier account. So now it’s “only” a £180 annual fee for those non Amex avois and a BRUV.

Thanks, working fine for me. Glad I saw it here as I’d not know otherwise. Barclays are a bit crap aren’t they!

I saw some people upthread were having issues with the app but couldn't see this issue (didn't read all 644 post admittedly) - I have spoken to customer services three times and none were able to get the Avios card to appear on the Barclaycard app - all gave different reasons why this may be and supposedly fixed (e.g. due to fraud prevention/slight difference of address etc/needs to be used in person first etc.)

Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a resolution - I don't really just want to 'wait a few weeks' which was CS last suggestion, and always logging in online is a bit of a pain.
