Double Welcome Bonus – Barclaycard Avios Plus Terms and Conditions
Introduction

1. This document sets out the terms and conditions for a double welcome bonus for Barclaycard Avios Plus (the “Double Welcome Bonus Offer”). If you’re new to Barclaycard, you’ll collect 50,000 Avios (usually 25,000 Avios) if you spend £3,000 in your first three months.

2. These Double Welcome Bonus Offer terms and conditions are separate to your credit agreement (your Barclaycard terms and conditions). These rules explain how you can qualify for the 50,000 Avios Double Welcome Bonus Offer. You should read them together with your Barclaycard terms and conditions.

Eligibility

3. You’ll qualify for the offer provided that you:

Are new to Barclaycard

Have applied for the Barclaycard Avios Plus during the qualifying period from 20 June 2022 to 18 July 2022

Have been accepted for the Barclaycard Avios Plus credit card

Spend £3,000 in your first three months

4. We’ll only apply one Avios welcome bonus in relation to your card to your British Airways Executive Club (“BAEC”) account during the lifetime of your card account. If you close your card account after you receive your Avios welcome bonus and then open another Barclaycard Avios card account within 2 years after you closed the original account, you will not be eligible for another Avios welcome bonus.

Receiving your double welcome bonus

5. To enable you to use your Avios, a BAEC account will be created for you when you are accepted for your card account, unless you choose to use your existing BAEC membership. In order to collect Avios, your card will be linked with your BAEC account. This account must be open at the time your bonus Avios are credited to you.

6. Once you reach the qualifying spend amount, the Avios Double Welcome Bonus will be added to your BAEC account on the second working day of the following month.

7. The BAEC and all Avios issued and redeemed under these rules are subject to British Airways Executive Club terms and conditions which are available at https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/executive-club/terms-and-conditions

8. If your BAEC account has been closed when the Avios are scheduled to be loaded, we will be unable to credit your account with the 50,000 Avios.

Tax Implications

9. You’re responsible for your own tax obligations. It’s your choice if you want to seek independent legal and tax advice. We aren’t responsible for determining any tax liability you might have because you’re earning Avios, and we aren’t able to advise you on this.

Changing these rules

10. Barclaycard reserves the right to withdraw or amend these terms and conditions at any time. If we withdraw the scheme and you remain eligible for the 50,000 Avios, we will credit this to your BAEC account.

General

11. These rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any disputes arising in respect of this promotion.

12. The Promoter of this offer is Barclays Bank PLC of 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP.

Ah damn! Guessing those who signed up a few months ago for half the bonus aren’t eligible 🙁

If I signed up a friend and he was willing to “give” me the avios – what’s the best way to transfer it to me? I’m guessing transferring his nectar points to my nectar account? I’m sure there must be a limit though

Isn’t that potentially a way of saying “Dear BA, could you please close my BAEC account and cancel all my Avios and Tier Points?”

Haha I see how my initial comment read – I literally meant getting a friend to sign up and transfer the value to me in some form . . . .or yes, be able to book a flight for me from his avios account. The latter seems a lot cleaner

My OH was declined back in Feb, has anyone who was originally declined when the card was launch successfully reapplied?

@tweety – you win some, you lose some! Player 2 got 40k avios and an upgrade voucher which he has used to very kindly take me to Vegas in CW for my birthday next year 😂. It coincided nicely with having to pay the balloon payment on a car with a non-Amex card. Only paid one lot of £20 fees so still feels like we did well out of it.

Hi, looking to sign up player 2 for the bonus. The pre-credit check form however only looks at their income and not household income, and as she is a contractor her monthly “salary” appears low as we draw down dividends when we need to. Is there a min required salary? Amex changed this to look at household income so frustrating Barclays havent done the same

That’s the price you pay for leaving the rest of society to pickup the bill for the NI you avoid with her artificially low “salary” 😉

When applying for a supplementary card, do bclays require that the supplementary card holder resides at the same address as the main cardholder ?

Yes, inter alia :”Additional cardholders must be over 18, a close family member and live at your current address.”

I applied for the 50k bonus offer and was accepted. This morning I received my Avios Barclaycard through the post. However when I log into the Barclaycard app, it shows my progress towards a 25k bonus rather than 50k. Is this expected or an error ?

I definitely applied via the HfP link and haven’t had any other Barclaycard products in the past 2 years.

Thanks.

Quite often “special offers” aren’t coded into the trackers on apps- that goes for both Amex and Barclaycard in my experience. It shows the default SUB, then the full amount is often delivered at the end in one bulk, or in 2 stages.

I had the initial 25k bonus and 5k “goodwill” came separate, as did the 5k HfP bonus for those who got that. If you can evidence your application date with a screenshot of the offer you should be fine!
