Hi @PilotH – I think you are correct about the Barclaycard not being available, although it is weird because you ARE able to open a Barclays premier avios earning account as a CI resident.
Another alternative is the HSBC premier mastercard which from first hand experience I can confirm definitely IS available, at least to a Guernsey person!
Virgin also had no problem issuing me one of their reward+ cards.
Hopefully that’s something to be getting along with while you ponder alternative Amex strategies.
