Reply To: Downgrading from Barclaycard Avios Plus card?

[aq.1988]

Just as a data point, I took the card out in June, and the option to downgrade appeared late September. I was just about to do the DG, but then the 100k offer launched in October, so I kept the card.

I waited until the 100k landed, kept the card for another month or so, then was about to do the downgrade, but then the option disappeared. I paid the balance off (even before it was due), and the downgrade option re-appeared. Now just waiting for the blue card to arrive.

My P3 took the card last month, and has earned the 50k bonus, and the option to downgrade has appeared already. Annoyingly, the 50k only posted the day after the points were transferred to BAEC, so keeping the card until at least next month. May decide to keep it until the voucher is earned, as will hit in a few months anyway.

Other than the fact that the vouchers can’t be used for journey’s starting outside the UK, really wish BC offered referral bonuses.
