I've had the points arrive by midnight on months where they have made it, so I doubt they've made it this month. Yet another month (maybe more, who knows!) to wait then.

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".

Just stumbled upon an e-mail received on 7 November which says:
"With your Barclaycard Avios Plus credit card and Barclays Avios Rewards, you have everything you need to collect your 100,000 Avios bonus. To qualify for it, simply keep them open until at least 04 March 2023. We'll then get in touch to let you know you've qualified for the Avios bonus and that it's been paid into your British Airways Executive Club account (the 100,000 Avios bonus won’t show in your Barclays app."
I have not heard anything and the 100k have not posted, so I guess I should be chasing ?

OK thanks. I suppose its better to err on the side of caution and not to close any of the accounts before the bonus actually posts, but I plan to close the bank a/c using the automated bank switching service that i used when I opened the a/c. Does anyone know if that also automatically cancels the Avios Rewards add-on ?

Hi
Anyone with recent experience applying for the plus card? Assuming approved quickly, are you able to access card details electronically (e.g. via app) straight away or do you have to wait for the physical card to arrive?
Thanks

For me the credit check was a nightmare (I have a lot of wealth, not a lot of taxable income). They kept sending me emails asking for the same piece of information, and it took 4 visits to a branch and an email to the COO in London to get things fixed. They did apologise profusely and took care of me. And I am very happy with the Barclaycard as a lot of places still don't take Amex. So it was a lot of hassle but worth it IMO.

They approved me straightaway pretty much and the card came a couple of days later, but it had just £200 credit limit. It took weeks and weeks to get the credit limit paperwork they needed (it was like a guessing game as to what they were asking for, I got to know all the staff in my branch very well). Eventually this idiot who was dealing with it said she would only allow me £200 ongoingly, . But after a little screaming in the right ears, it was sorted.

I was also given the £200 credit limit treatment and it took a great deal of time and energy to upload the payslips they wanted to see before increasing it to the original approved amount.

If you have no other existing Barclays products you'll have to wait for the card to come in the post to allow you to register for the app. If you have other products you should be able to see it appear view card details, add to mobile wallet and so on.
