  • New and existing Barclaycard Visa credit cardholders can benefit from the programme

The popular Barclaycard that looks at over half of the nation’s credit and debit card transactions has teamed up with Visa to provide UK shoppers a new cashback rewards programme.

Barclaycard Visa credit cardholders can earn up to 15% cashback

The customers who spend through their credit cards at the selected high street and digital retailers can gain up to 15% cashback on their purchases. The programme provides customers with personalised offers towards their favourite brands, based on previous purchases using Barclaycard Visa credit cards.

Customers can sign up for this new programme through the new Barclaycard cashback rewards site. Once signed up, customers can start earning up to 15% cash back when making purchases at well-known retails that include Uber Eats, Costa and Holiday Inn Express.

Customers who register for the rewards programme will receive personalised offers from their favourite retailers based in the UK both online and in-store.

The new benefit is available to all new and existing Barclaycard Visa credit cardholders

Cathy Dargue, client director at Visa said, “We’re delighted to partner with Barclaycard for the new Barclaycard cashback rewards. Providing cardholders with the latest and best products has always been a crucial part of our longstanding partnership with Barclaycard. The new programme will give cardholders access to better deals, and the opportunity to earn cashback, at a time when all of us are more conscious about how and where we spend.

“This has been a truly collaborative effort by both Barclaycard and Visa and we’re excited to give something back to customers through a substantial rewards programme that provides better value when shopping at their favourite stores.”

José Carvalho, head of unsecured lending said, “Our spending data shows that consumers’ shopping habits are changing. Not only do we all want more flexibility about where we shop, we are also looking for better value for money in the purchases we make.

“Knowing how important it is to our customers, we are delighted to announce the new Barclaycard cashback rewards with Visa, to help cardholders get more out of their everyday spending using Barclaycard. We have designed the rewards programme to provide tailored offers based on where our customers like to shop while ensuring that signing up is as seamless as possible with easy access to the rewards.”

Cardholders can also redeem their cashback towards a credit card balance, traded up for an e-voucher, or donated to a customer’s preferred charity.  The existing customers who are already gaining the benefits with an existing Barclaycard rewards card can also earn up to 15% additional cashback.
