Surprised I am first to the thread on this one, but I always find these updates helpful!
Currently an uprated sign up bonus of 50k avios (Additional 25k avios) until 18th July 2022. A pretty good deal if you've not signed up yet, even at 1p per Avios personal valuation.

I signed up and received mine yesterday. Will be a good addition especially since I need to make a £3k purchase, but because I've already achieved my annual rewards on the Amex Gold and Amex BAPP cards.
They could not verify my income (due to me getting a new job the other month I assume) so had to send in a couple of payslips. This process can take around 5 working days to complete and once verified, I should have a realistic credit limit.

Signed upto Barclays Rewards card a few weeks back, regretting it now. Should have gone for this, got about 4-5k worth of outgoings due in the next few months.
Barclays App says there’s no cards available to change to & the team on the phone said it can only be done via the App.
Got my first statement due shortly so I’m hoping something changes via the App once it’s produced

Anyone know how you contact tpg? No bonus avios posted and Barclaycard say it’s nothing to do with them!

Just a query about the upgrade voucher - if I have a voucher in my BA account and my partner has a voucher in their (we are in a BA household account together) - would we be able to use these two vouchers for one booking, so we can upgrade a return journey for 2? If not online, then maybe by phone?

Also, could someone confirm, if you have the free card and are accumulating spending towards the cabin upgrade voucher at the £20,000 target, and after a few months upgrade to the premium card - will your existing spending to date still stay on the new £10,000 target or does it reset to zero?

Quick question about the voucher.
Have it in my account, looking to booking flights, but on a busy route. If there anyway to book outbound, and then add in inbound on later?
There is no chance of getting seat availability for out and return at the same time.
Many thanks!

Can anyone confirm how quickly one can cancel the Premium card once received ? I received mine yesterday and will hit my spend £3k by tomorrow (useful tip: it can be used to credit energy accounts, so most people may have the option of generating spend by paying off a chunk of the coming year's bills in advance).
I am not that fussed about the upgrade voucher, and I think it may make sense to just cancel asap and put myself in a position to get another card - with bonus - in 6 months time.

Just applied for my first Barclaycard - got message about further checks required and will be in touch within 5 days. Anyone else had this and been updated quicker than 5 days?
