New Rewards Scheme To Be Launched By Barclaycard
August 10, 2009
The twelve million credit card customers of credit card giant Barclaycard could soon start enjoying the benefits of a newly launched rewards based scheme from the card provider. Barclaycard has announced that it is introducing a rewards based scheme that will allow its customers to enjoy discounts and benefits from thousands of retailers without having to go to the hassle of collecting points and vouchers.
The new scheme will allow the cardholders to get instant discounts at participating retailers without having to redeem points and vouchers, so consumers will be able to enjoy a hassle free way of getting their credit card rewards. Whilst the credit card giant handles payments for nearly ninety thousand retailers, it has not yet revealed how many of these will be taking part in the new rewards scheme.
Many industry officials have attacked other rewards based schemes because often the cardholder finds it too difficult, confusing, or time consuming to redeem their points, and they end up going to waste. However, the instant benefits that this new rewards scheme will provide means that this should not be an issue.
There are many other credit card providers that offer rewards based cards such as cash back cards, air miles cards, travel rewards cards, and a variety of others, but it has been revealed that an alarming number of people fail to redeem their rewards for one of a range of reasons, which means that they end up not benefiting from having a rewards based card at all. Industry officials have pointed out that rewards based cards are best suited to those that pay their balance off in full each month, as otherwise the interest charged can outweigh the value of any rewards received.
