Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

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... Smiley Happy  Thanks in advance !!

Re: Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

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 Smiley Happy !!  The only thing I can see is that it's a 1.5% cash back card with a fairly reasonable rate.  I dunno...??

Re: Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

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

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?

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.

Re: Barclaycard CashForward Invitation

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.
