    We got Avios plus Barclaycard under 100k offer last year. Now being told only 1 person get 100k in joint accounts.
    Has anyone come across this?

    That seems fairly logical. If you wanted to get 2 x 100k you needed to open (or already have one open) 2 x Barclaycard Avios and 2 x Premier accounts within the offer period – four products in total, but you opened three as far as one can ascertain from the post. Obviously you also only get one switch/welcome bonus as well.

    For barclays rewards (£12 a month), does anyone know if Mortgages in joint accounts means only 1 person is then eligible for the monthly + 700 avois rewards. I assume only 1 person from the mortgage can get it, but i’m not sure. I will ask Barclays, but wanted any first hand experience of this.

    If you have a joint Barclays mortgage and both of you have premier accounts with Avios Rewards then I think you will each get 350 avios. If only one of you has Avios Rewards then that person will get 700 (that’s been my experience anyway – though I had to call Barclays to sort this as for a while they were giving me 350 when my partner didn’t have a premier account and wasn’t therefore getting anything – to their credit this was sorted swiftly and missing avios from previous months credited).

    I can confirm this and it is the same for Blue Rewards and/or if you also have other products like house insurance etc .
