I'm not sure how closely we're supposed to toe the line with threads in ths section being tied to published articles so as a CYA move I'm adding a link to a WSJ news article from ~15 months ago announcing the migration.  All GAP brands are affected, not just Old Navy.

"Barclays will take over Gap’s private-label and co-branded credit cards, including Athleta, Banana Republic and Old Navy"

Yes, Barclays is now in control of all GAP brand cards.

@Murph5065 , @coldfusion -- there was an article already on this here in the CIN section (August 2021) -- see above/threads merged.

This is interesting. I am also blacklisted from Barclays due to my BK7/IIB. One of the earlier cards that I got post-BK7 is the Gap Visa card. I use it at least once every other month, mostly at Baby Gap. Hope my account gets transferred.

Yep, mine got transferred. I now hold a Barclays Gap card. Yay, I guess?

Same here - I got a Barclays card again after being blacklisted like forever but not anymore... lol
