Yes but £12 cannot buy 1,500 avios normally
I collect Avios as well, and generally I value them at around 1p, so 1500 is worth £15. It’s not a massive saving at £12, although where it does improve is the annual upgrade voucher.
Also just in case anyone collecting Avios missed it, you can get 10k Avios for investing £500 with JPMorgan for 2 months, offer ends this week.
You can ‘boost’ the 1500 monthly Avios as well by buying 4500 more for slightly less than 1p/mile. I don’t do it but it’s an option…
I think it’s £5000 unfortunately
It’s £500, left invested for 55 days. New customers only. ![]()
Oh cool, I was looking at this page:
Amazing, I’ve done this! Thanks for the tip.
So…. Barclaycard type change happened overnight. I saw it momentarily in the app and tried to add it to Apple Pay but it’s now disappeared completely. Hoping this is just #barclays and it will sort itself out.
I’ve always assumed they have a lower monthly target because if you’re in the 75k salary range you’re likely salary sacrificing to reduce your tax bill so a chunk of your income never hits your bank account.
Replying to own post… adding the ‘new’ card to Apple Pay at 6:30am was flagged as suspicious. 15 minutes on the phone and it’s back.
Did you remove and re-add your card? My Barclaycard account has been blocked every single time I do this.
Yep, lesson learned.
Business Class flights on you then!
The JP Morgan Avios bonus has just paid out (long before the 55 days the money is supposed to be in there).
Yup got mine as well. Easiest 10k Avios I’ve had.
If you’ve got a P2 or friend who’s interested, you can refer them now and you’ll get £100 Amazon gift card as well.
My £500 ‘pot’ is now worth £502 so I’m cashing out now I’ve got the Avios.
Same lol
I still don’t fully understand my credit situation.
Barclays gave me a Overdraft when I got my Premier Account but whenever I apply for a Barclaycard i get turned down.
Back in Jersey I can get Charge / Credit Cards but never in the UK it seems even Credit Builders.
Seems UK and Credit don’t really like me ![]()
How long have you been here? Could take a while tbh.
About a year now
