Barclaycard

[Alex]

Anyone use a Barclaycard ?  I've had one for years but now it seems I can't log in to my account on the laptop and I need to download an app, I presume that would be on my phone ?   I can't get through to Barclaycard to ask.

Yes, it is a phone app.  I have a card but never use it.  Took out an account a few years ago to balance transfer another card ( the deal was 0%apr and the transfer fee was... 0%, so was money for nothing!!)

App was easy enough to set up iirc, but took a few days for password and pin to be posted, as per norm.

I used to have an online Barclaycard account I used by laptop but they closed it down . 
I don't have a smart phone but you can, if you prefer to remain online, open an account on the main Barclays site as they've merged with that.
Same as Dex says though ... they'll send you an email with a log in number and a second number by post  to activate the account.

That would have made me very suspicious of scammers.

I imagine far more people use phones for banking these days than laptops and desktops. I moved over to using a phone for online banking ages ago. I'd guess that there are plenty of younger users only have phones.

Oddly computer banking took over from the early phone banking. The pace of change is constantly increasing.

Phone is too small for me, I use my Ipad.  Recently my main bank, Lloyds, changed their credit card from Mastercard to Visa.  Regular payments from it had to be changed, by the user.

As my friend said, all the admin has been passed on to the customer to do!

Same here. As mines a cashback card I have it as primary source everywhere. PITA

Fun sized banking, eh?  Same sized fees, smaller sized product. 🤬
