Our Verdict
The bonus on this card was always 40k, then they released a 50k offer in April, and now they’ve bumped it up to 60k. We’ve seen recent data points of Barclays matching a bonus if you applied within 30 days, so it’s definitely worth an ask. Hopefully SM will work, else you can try the phone.
Terrific bonus with no spend requirement, and it’s recently become clearer that Barclays business cards do not report to the personal credit bureaus which helps avoid any 5/24 issues from getting this card.
We’ll add this to the best credit card bonuses. As always if you have questions about Barclays credit cards, I’d recommend reading this post first.
