Barclays Card

Does Barclays do retention offers? If so who do I call.

For some reason the thought of Barclay wanting to retain a costomer seems ironic.😆

Not sure if they do, but I assume all lenders do to some extent.

While this may be the case please don't push too hard or be surprised if they say "okay no problem your account is now closed" if you threaten to close an account but don't really mean it.

My first thought/comment was that Barclay's idea of a retention offer is to allow you to keep it open, but our honorable Mod (CC) gave you a better answer

Note, truth in advertising, I've closed all my Barclay cards and will no longer do business with them so my opinion is a bit tainted.

OP, retention offers are on a case-by-case basis. If you didn't place moderate or high spend on your card, then potentially no retention offer would be available.
