Reply To: Downgrading from Barclaycard Avios Plus card?

[1967stuart2]

Just to provide some (positive) experience when downgrading from the Barclaycard Avios Plus to the Barclaycard Avios card

I applied for the Avios plus in November 2022 and received my 100,000 miles in March 2023 and then took the option to downgrade in the App. Was informed when downgrading that it would take place on my next statement date which was 20th May and was rather nervous on what would actually happen, however did not need to be as it was very seamless indeed :

# 20th May : bill generated

# 21st May : app still showed the Avios card plus account but showed the balance had been “transferred”

# 22nd May : Barclaycard Apple Pay changed automatically from Avios Plus to Avios Card (so I could continue to use it whilst waiting for the physical card)

# 23rd May : app updated to show new Avios card account

# 25th May : new physical Avios card arrives and pin remains the same as the previous Avios Plus one
