They must have resolved the launch day issues. As an existing Barclaycard holder (Legacy Cashback and HIlton Honours) I now have the option to Product Swap in the app.
I can confirm that I am offered a bonus, albeit small:
Free Avios card: spend Ł1000 in the first 3 months get 1000 Avios
Ł20 per month Plus card: spend Ł3000 on the first 3 months get 5000 Avios

I managed to switch to the paid card in the app this morning. Message said I would get my new card a few days after my next statement date (which is March 7 anyway).
bonus was as above 5k for Ł3k spend which is fine as I have spent my Ł10k on my Amex anyway.
Unusually for Barclays was pretty straight forward in the end

this means that effectively the Premier Avios current account will cost Ł7 per month instead of Ł12. Is anyone clear if you can earn and use two upgrade vouchers per booking? The old Lloyds voucher could only be used one per booking as I remember but they did accept two vouchers once it was announced that the scheme was closing. Also, does anyone know if those Barclays/Barclaycard voucher can be used within the normal BAEC booking process or will again only be through a dedicated number/the ex Lloyds number? (Edited to remove incorrect statement - email was about earning over 10,000 Avios )

And received my card this morning and all set up, despite some error messages in the app, that's quite some issues within a week. Now I just hope this card is accepted in Apple Pay soon, so I can reach the Ł1k spend and then move back to my Amex.

Re the paid/premium card, the fee is shown as Ł20/m
So is it charged monthly or that is just representative and you get charged the Ł240 from the start?
- if the later is the fee refundable pro-rata as ANEX do?
asking as seems an easy way to get 29,500 Avios for Ł60 (assuming you can spend in first 2 months and get the bonus within the 3rd month before cancelling)

edit: I think I obtained status first with one of the other companies and then used that to status match with National:

I applied on Tuesday, and got a need further time to assess application message, fairly typical for me. No follow up, no email of other communication whatsoever. Just logged into Barclay's app and the card account is already showing there, so I was apparently successful.
