Barclaycard Freedom offering double rewards
To celebrate the launch of Barclaycard Freedom, Barclaycard is offering double Reward Money on cardholder purchases until 17 May at participating retailers.
Launched on 17 March at over 30,000 retail outlets, including big name retailers and brands such as npower, Shell and Pizza Express, as well as many small and medium retailers, Barclaycard Freedom is one of the broadest reward schemes in the UK.
The double Reward Money period means that customers can earn 2% on most transactions - alongside other special promotions and giveaways in store - up to 17th May. To qualify, cardholders simply need to log in or register for mybarclaycard, Barclaycard's existing online account servicing site, which allows the customer to see their Reward Money account. mybarclaycard is available on barclaycardfreedom.co.uk. Reward Money is recorded in pounds and pence, with no vouchers or coupons to save and no points to calculate.
In the first two weeks of Barclaycard Freedom, Barclaycard cardholders have earned a total of £164,936 in Reward Money. One of the larger amounts earned in a single transaction so far includes a £260 reward on a high-spend transaction made at a branch of Flight Centre, one of the participating retailers.
Barclaycard customers making a purchase in most participating retailers will see the value of their existing Reward Money balance appear on the card machine before they enter their PIN to pay and they can choose to redeem some or all of that existing Reward Money balance against that transaction. After the purchase, the Reward Money earned on that transaction is then added to their balance.
Sarah Newman, Managing Director of Barclaycard Freedom said: "It's great to see that customers are already reaping the rewards of our Barclaycard Freedom retailer coalition. With double Reward Money on offer until mid-May, the Easter break has been the perfect opportunity for people to earn extra."
