Yep, these days Barclays only seems to be issuing cobranded products, not their "own" cards, which isn't unheard of (i.e. Comenity, Synchrony, etc). It seems to be the direction Barclay is going at least for now.
Xatos,
You’re right. I Barclays is going to focus on co-branding and getting more swipe fees.
