Unable to transfer the upgrade voucher
Never mind, it just posted
Maybe the trick is to post in FT!

Apparently there is a rumour (as in I read on another forum that said "the rumoured changes") that Barclaycard Avios will soon no longer work with the bendy card. I wonder if anyone can point to a few more details?

4 months passed on 31st March, so seems from reading others experiences it could be several weeks before the 100k show up I guess.
Spend based upgrade voucher also just clicked over so will be keeping an eye out for that.....now wondering whether to keep the accounts or not?

You can try starting off with live chat in the app, although they are for the most part useless and wil llikely just provide a number which they claim is specific for avios issues but in reality seems to dump into the general call centre. If you persist with them though they will generally make that call on your behalf and you get a sensible answer eventually. Which bonus/bonuses are you waiting on?

I think a 100k sign-up bonus and a 25k sign-up bonus. I have not been paying a lot of attention to this, but had a pre-existing Barclaycard and then opened the bank account and signed up for Avios Rewards as well. I have an e-mail confirming that my Premier a/c was opened on 25 November and I think I signed up for Rewards and also did the a/c switch at exactly the same time. Should I have heard something by now ??
If you don't have the 25k showing in the app then worth getting in touch, but if it is there you should be fine.

The 25k sign up may well be arriving today. My account opening date was 29 November, the 25k for doing an account switch had been hovering in the current account section of the rewards overview but it has now dropped into the earned section. It gets transferred to avios balance on the second working day of the month hence I'm expecting mine today. I've had nothing yet on the 100,000 but it's only just over four months and looking up thread I think it's usually a bit longer than dead on the date.
If you don't have the 25k showing in the app then worth getting in touch, but if it is there you should be fine.

Just noticed that my upgrade discount voucher has posted - 1.5 months late - into my BA account without any fanfare. So might be worthwhile checking if you are due yours.
No sign of the monthly Avios though, not even the 1500 from Barclays Premier which have hitherto been quite reliable. Fortunately I'm not so Avios poor that it matters but I have absolutely nil confidence in B/C after the number of delays etc.

Ah sorry, I meant the Barclays app. If you hit "your rewards" on the home screen, then "view your avios" and "see your activity" you get a screen showing barclaycard avios and separately avios rewards (which is what relates to the current account). You should see the 25,000 somewhere under "avios rewards".
