Forums Payment cards Barclaycard Avios Ways to maximise spending on Avios Plus

  • 74 posts

    Hey everyone, due to some issues with Barclays we were not able to maximise spending in last 6 weeks (very low credit limit which we managed to get fixed now last Friday). Also they started counting the 3 month period to trigger the bonus from end March and not from the 15th April when we got the card. So 8 weeks is gone now. We need to still spent around £1500 to by the 29th June.

    Any ideas how we can maximise that? Paypal was an option for the odd transaction with Amex. Whats possible with Barclays?

    Is there a way to pay off credit cards with Barclays? We just been away on holiday and got some larger chucks pending on other credit cards.

    Thanks

    Prepay council tax & utilities?

    This was the most effective change I made with my council tax covered for the year rather than leaving it to monthly direct debits
