I call Barclay to see if I can get any apple offers and the rep today said that as of 01 Nov 2020 they apple card with Barclay will be close out. I never got a letter on this only what the rep said. This was the manager dept bay the way. Has anyone heard of this?
The writing has been on the wall. While rep might be wrong, sounds plausible. The card was rebranded Special Financing, or some other nonsense. Letters may be on their way.

I hope it does not. I did speak to a rep and she said if I had an apple purchase they can work something out on the card.
Will Barclay PC it to one of their other spectacularly-lackluster cards? Have been on the fence about closing this card, it has has $0 balance for 2.5 years, I just do a maintenance swipe on it every now and again to keep it going. They really don't have any other card offers that stands out.
Thats why it was rebranded as Special Financing when they lost Apple contract. Most cobranded cards can't be PC with a lender. I would think the card can't be product changed.@fatcomic wrote:Will Barclay PC it to one of their other spectacularly-lackluster cards?

As mentioned above, it's unlikely that Barclays will PC since it hasn't been a successful or fruitful option in the past. You can contact them to see whether any options may be available. That said, if you hold any other Barclays CCs, they can rollover or reallocate the CL onto another card.

They did say that will be offering to PC to a different card Barclays offers at or around 01 Nov 2020.
