I did too. Didn't ask for anything but name, email, address and phone. Seems odd to fulfill via physical card vs. electronic.

I got it too. Gave my basic info. I never gave it a thought that it might be a scam. I really believe it is legit.

I got the same email. I deleted it.
Could be legit, but jumping through hoops for $5 with even a 1% chance of fake is not worth it.

They already had my full name and e-mail address. It all seemed legit and all they asked for was a mailing address. Not sure what someone can do with already public information for the most part...

I agree that the site was v.e.r.y...s.l.o.w to load but it finally did.

So I was hesitant the first time around...but then received a new email today apologizing for the past technical issues. I took the bait so hopefully we're not being scammed.

Me too! I got the "I'm sorry" email today too and followed the links. I don't even remember getting the original so I'm not sure what happened. I just received a followup confirmation in my email saying my gift card would arrive in 4-6 weeks. I think this is is legit.

Wierd I got the first email and went thru the steps to get the free $5 card last week or so. Then I got a follow up email today that I still did not take advantage of this great deal. So tried to log back in thru the email and it errors out stating acces code has already been used. Hmmmm
Did Barclays just send everyone who got the first email a reminder about this offer or did the second email go to ony those who got the first email but have yet to use the access code.
You would think it would be #2 in this day and age but maybe Barclays is not to tech savvy.
