  Yesterday my wife received her free night certificate after reaching the target on 28 April. Of course that could have been luck too.
  To my surprise they allowed me to make the booking in her name.

  Good strategy, except that it might be a little presumptious or hopeful given the two year time frame and recent experience of devaluations.

  I never spent the 10k but received Gold anyway… how come the Gold status lasts so long?

    You get the rest of the current calendar year, all of the next one plus a run off until March the next year if you don’t re qualify.

    I never spent £10k either, but received Gold last November (had the card from about April 14). My free night voucher arrived very promptly in May, after spending £750.

  I hit my £10k spend right at the end of 2014 and similarly have status until March 2017. I had to ring up to ask though as helpfully they didn’t send an email to confirm

  Before they revamped the card website into Barclaycard’s corporate image, there was always a helpful progress bar showing how much you had spent on the card year to date; search as I may I can find no such helpful tool now. Am I missing something?

  I called after I hadn’t received the overnight stay voucher a week after my statement was settled. I ended up calling back as the agent didn’t seem to understand what I was trying to ask.

  I was told the voucher would be produced between 10-15 May, it was produced on the 10th and I got an email 🙂

  I know these take weeks from reading on here, but I wanted to make use of it very quickly.

  Are you likely to get accepted for this card if you already have a barclaycard?

  Thanks

    Previously I held both ihg black and hilton at same time. Currently only have ihg but they declined my application for hilton earlier this year on basis I had ihg. I was somewhat surprised. Worth a try but prepare to be disappointed.

    You’ll need to call them, when I held a Barclaycard Plat and I called to talk about the IHG, depending on limits and current spend on card, you can split the limits between the two cards. MBNA also split limits between cards.

    I have IHG and Hilton (and loads of other cards for points etc) and am a poor (as opposed to rich) pensioner. I did reduce the very high limit on IHG before applying.

  That is £166.67 a day for 60 days. Even if you take away the price of the average London pint that still leaves £156.67 to spend per day. That is some going.

  Note: this post was a poor excuse to make a poor joke about the price of a pint.

    Take a weekend break to Oslo. If you like a drink you will probably hit the target by closing on Sunday. 🙂
