On a related topic, I have the paid Barclaycard avios card, but would like to downgrade to the free version. If I go to “change card” in the app, it shows no options for me. Do I need to wait for it to show up there, or could I change over live chat?

It’s the same as above! You either have the option to downgrade in the app or you don’t and it can’t be overridden by staff.

People report that these offers come and go, so unfortunately you need to check regularly. The only other option is to cancel and wait six months, but that won’t get you a new SUB for which you need a two year gap.

Thanks. Wondered if it was different for going between paid and free versions of the avios card, rather than from a different type of card.
