Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 18:01:20 GMT

Just got an "invitation" in today's mail for Barclay's new "CashForward" card....? The only thing I could find online is that it's new and that it's by invitation only. It's offering me a 14.9% APR and it is a World Mastercard but doesn't mention limits, etc. Anybody else get this and does anybody have any more information about it ? I'm intrigued... Thanks in advance !!

You're the first person I've seen post about getting this targeted offer aside from the original posting. I wonder what, if any, criteria there are for it. It doesn't look like you have any Barclay cards.

That might be why they sent it to me. I don't have any of their cards, maybe they want my business !! The only thing I can see is that it's a 1.5% cash back card with a fairly reasonable rate. I dunno...??

It appears that Barclay has recently trademarked "Cash Forward", "CashForward" and "View" as electronically coded magnetic strip cards.

Barclay CashForward

Barclay View

Maybe two offerings on the horizon?

Interesting. I also see "Breeze" as a new card trademark from them as well. I checked earlier and found CashForward but didn't bother checking the others.

And I just found "EASE"

Maybe four offerings or possibly name changes in the works?

Ease

Cash Forward

Breeze

View

We can hope. I know not too many people are intrigued by the Cash Forward offering as it is essentially a Quicksilver with a foreign transaction fee and $50 minimum redemption. If those other cards do end up materializing, hopefully they are more enticing offers.

QS is a better card or DC is a better card IMO.. I believe this has a $50 minimum renewal rewards program if I remember correctly. It ends up like a 1.55 or 1.6 cashback or something like that credit card as well if I remember it right, just above 1.5%. More hasses then QS and DC though as far as redemption

Absolutely. CashForward doesn't seem to have any value except for the meager signup bonus of $100 for $500 spent, which equals that of the QS. Since it's Barclays this card can be had for a TU pull instead of a triple pull like QS though.

I'm definitely not impressed by the $50 threshold for redemption. The only way I could see myself getting this card is if SM gets nerfed and I want to keep my CL. So far, I like Barclay, but I find most of their products just don't fit my needs.

I think going for quicksilver would be a better bet hands down than this barclay card. no foreign fee, no hard pulls for cli, easier to deal with than barclays ever would be.

that redemption threshold is high for a 1.5 percent cash back card. granted they are offering the standard rate apr at a pretty good rate to everyone, If they nerf my salliemae and give me an option for a card, i could see it being this but my SallieMae is not a world mastercard and barclays doesnt really like me. so i can see them just telling me to hike. but their products also dont work the best for me either, amont the many other products out there.

Forgot Cap1 isn't the jealous GF card either where they will take AA on you for looking at other cards or running up a bit of utilization

Cap1 3 hard pulls are worth it long term than any Barclay card. Cap1 will love u long time while Barclays will want to suspend and expel u eventually

Re: Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

ddemari — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:01:37 GMT

Only to those of us that like offers from
Others lenders of course. Average person sure go ahead with Barclays

Re: Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

DeeBee78 — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:20:35 GMT

So basically it's a Capital One Quicksilver with a 3% FTF and more restrictive terms. I'd pass on it if it was offered to me.
