The #Barclaycard website is truly a crock of shit. Apart from pushing their app every time I try to log in (which I already have and doesn't do what I want, i.e. provide an Open Financial Exchange (.ofx) file of transactions), it's now impossible to filter transactions by date, you just get this:

Ach die #Barclaycard, wurde an die österreichische Bawag verkauft?

Mal schauen und hoffen, dass die Konditionen der #Kreditkarte so bleiben wie sie sind. Sonst muss ich mir nach einer neuen Kreditkarte umschauen

From #barclaycard : "We wanted to let you know that the interest rates on your Barclaycard Platinum will go up from ‌22 July 2024‌. We’re also changing the way we work out your minimum payment. This means the minimum amount you need to pay each month will go down from the same date."

Well, that seems like a good way to encourage people to get into more debt ☹️ - the interest rate change here is big, going from 17.8% to 23.9%

Barclaycard - a playground for fraudsters

I am quite a tech-savvy person and I know how to spot fraud, and how to protect myself from losing money to fraudsters. To my surprise, I recently discovered 3 unauthorised transactions on one of my credit cards which is issued by Barclaycard. Because I am using this card to pay for my balance transfer and nothing else, I have been logging into the app only once a month to pay a part of it. Just last month, when was time to pay it, I noticed that the outstanding balance was higher than what I calculated that I needed to repay. I have looked into a statement and noticed that for the last months, from September to November, each time on the 8th, I have been charged for Amazon Prime £8.99. The funny thing is, that I already have Amazon Prime, for years, but I am paying it annually and not from Barclaycard. I don’t have Barclaycard added to my Amazon account. Because these transactions are not displayed on my Amazon account, I haven’t been able to sort this out with Amazon itself and need to contact Barclaycard. Before that, I raised claims about unauthorised transactions for all three transactions. As a precaution, I cancelled my Barclaycard and requested a new one with a new number as I thought that with a new number, no more new transactions would happen. Below I will show how wrong I were in that assumption.

OK, go on then, how can an electronic voucher, delivered by email be "out of stock"? Have #Barclaycard or #Amazon run out of bytes? Is there an electron shortage? 😕 ❓
