Last month I noticed on my statement from Barclays a second interest charge when my statement cut. It was labeled purchase incentive terms. It was only for $0.24 so I thought it was odd but maybe just some type of interest rate adjustment related thing so I decided not to follow up on it. Then it happened again on my most recent statement but for $0.88 this time. I called to find out what these were for and the csr just apologized and reversed the charges. I have no idea what they were for so I guess this is just a warning to make sure you double check your statements.

Yes. I'm paying off the card and that's why I didn't think much of it at first because I thought it was an adjustment to the APR .
Good call! My card stopped working 8 or 9 months ago and I finally requested a new one a few months ago. I didn't activate it until last month and tested it at a grocery store last month and a gas station this month. Looking at my statement, I have a 3.99% new purchase promo interest rate that was being used. I've been aggressively paying down the card so I paid those charges off either before they posted or right after and even with some compounding doesn't seem to be right.
If the CSR had said there is currently a promo on your account and that is why there is a separate interest charge I would have been fine and then done the actual calculations just to see if if the math made sense but she just apologized and reversed it.
