Uswitch comments on Barclays Blue Rewards

Commenting on Barclays new rewards programme, David Mann, money expert at https://www.uswitch.com/banking/>**Uswitch.com****, says:** “Anything that appears to give people money for nothing is often too good to be true. But despite a monthly fee, this programme really does appear to leave its customers better off – just for banking with them. Any boost to your monthly income is very welcome and rewarding loyalty with more cash for customers who do more than just their everyday banking with Barclays is the cherry on top.

“However, Barclays does appear to be missing a trick by not including its credit card customers.  It’s also important to note that customers have to be signed up to either online or mobile banking to benefit – which could see some people miss out.

“The bottom line is there are plenty of ways for people to make their bank accounts work for them – and put more pounds in their pockets. Barclay’s new scheme could work out to be a great option for loyal customers who have a range of products with the bank, but it may not be the best choice for everyone. Halifax offer a £5 monthly cash reward on their current account and Santander’s 123 account could boost your balance if you have hefty food spend or utility bills. Taking the time to investigate all your options could really pay off.”
