Barclays Rainy Day Saver

[pbcold]

I have Barclays Premier Banking and Barclays Avios Rewards. Am I eligible for the Rainy Day Saver Account? I can see Barclays Blue Reward Saver in my app but recall that there are certain combinations of products that one cannot hold at the same time with Barclays.

Many thanks.

Choose to be a member of Barclays Avios Rewards or Barclays Blue Rewards – you can’t join both

Rainy Day Saver
For Barclays Blue Rewards members only

So no.

That`s a great help, thank you.

If you have a Rainy Day Saver you can keep it if you change to Premier Rewards, FYI (but you won’t be able to open one).

This is why this forum is so useful, this is exactly the question I came here to ask.

I’m currently a member of Avios rewards and wanted to open a Rainy day saver but didn’t want to risk the 100,000 Avios by switching to Barclays Blue.

Would the 100,000 be at risk?

Yes, if you shut Avios Rewards inside the four month qualifying period, you will cease to qualify for the 100k bonus. I wouldn’t cut it too fine after the end of the period.

Yes, definitely do not do that.

If you want Rainy Day Saver, wait until that is paid, then switch to Blue Rewards and open the Rainy Day Saver.

If you would prefer the Avios/Premier Rewards, you can switch back after the Rainy Day Saver is open. It’s not advertised but they sent me an email after switching from Blue Rewards to Premier (for the same 100k offer!) assuring I’d be able to keep it while I held Premier or Blue Rewards.
