Forums Payment cards Barclaycard Avios Barclays Premier Account

  • ALP 1 post

    I have both a Barclaycard Avios Plus credit card, and an American Express Premium Plus Card account which I alternate during the year to achieve the £10,00 spend for both the companion and upgrade vouchers in a year. My question is, is it worth signing upto the Barclays Premier banking at £12/month for the upgrade vouch as well? I’m already a Barclays customer.
    Thanks.

    If you have the Avios Plus card, when you join Avios Rewards, you get a £5 rebate, so it’ll only cost you £7pm. So you’re effectively paying £84pa for 18k avios, plus an upgrade voucher, so it’s really good value. Or, if you choose the 7k avios instead, it’s 25k avios for £84, which is still pretty good, but I am able to use the vouchers, so I choose that.

    I downgraded my Plus card to the free card, so I’m no longer getting the £5 rebate, but I still have avios rewards for £12pm, and I find it decent value.
