Barclaycard uses trickery in its practices! On top of that, though their scripted customer service response is very polite, they refuse to do anything to support or satisfy customer issues. I would not recommend their cards, but if you do decide to use their products, read through every tiny fine print and know if there is a timeline listed to receive benefits; the clock starts on the day you apply, not the day you activate the card. Just another huge company to doesn't care about its customers. They won't fight to keep you as a customer even if you are a good one.
