Curve fronting with a barclays avios card

[andydunfield]

I read one person may have had their card suspended for doing this
Are other people still successfully curve fronting significant amounts each month onto barclaycard
I want to know before I commit to a metal card
Thanks in advance
Andy

Removed my own post as just realised you’re asking specifically about Curve Fronting!

[Swiss Jim]

Anyone who posts anything like this should have their access to HfP immediately curtailed… I can’t believe how daft people are.

Not sure what OP is asking, anyway, the Ts and Cs are quite clear that you get £3k fee-free for fronted transactions, and charged for anything above that (until it gets reduced again!)

I’ve been using Curve fronted (with my Avios Barclaycard) to pay my BA Amex bill for about a year and I’ve not had any issues. I’m not sure why Barclaycard would have a problem with it, you aren’t doing anything you shouldn’t be.

You are doing a cash advance without paying a fee for it, that’s the issue they might see with it.
But they could easily charge a fee or block that transaction if they wanted to, so they are happy enough to not bother.
