Wanted to give folks a heads up that, unlike Amex (who seems to count the day when you requested account closure as the day the account was closed), Barclaycard counts it from when they close the account in their own systems. In my case it was 23 days after I requested it be closed (according to Barclays Premier support), and there was no notification nor mail with the “final” date of the account closure. So give it a wide berth before applying for the Avios Plus card again after 2 years pass according to your own records.
Well, yes, that’s presumably in the churner’s guide 101 and if it isn’t (fortunately or unfortunately I don’t have a copy) it’s not exactly very surprising. From multiple reports, Amex also doesn’t necessarily count the closure date as being the day it was requested either; there’s a subsequent letter. Leaving a margin of error is often wise and remunerative/rewarding in many different situations.
