[Expired] [Targeted] Barclays: $15 Bonus for Adding an Authorized User to your Credit Card

Deal has expired, view more Barclays deals by clicking here.

The Offer

Barclays is sending out an authorized-user bonus offer on various cards:

  • Cardmembers who receive this offer and add an authorized user between 12/17/2018 — 12/31/2018 will earn a $15 statement credit.

The Fine Print

  • Primary cardmember is financially responsible for all authorized user purchases and transactions.
  • In addition, we may provide account information to the credit bureaus for all account users, which could impact an authorized user’s credit score.
  • Offer is valid for select cardmembers and is not transferable.
  • If you close your account or switch to another product during the promotional period, you may no longer be eligible for this promotion.
  • Limit of one $15 statement credit per account.
  • To receive the statement credit, the cardmember account must be open, active and in good standing at the time of fulfillment.
  • All statement credits earned will appear on your statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.

Our Verdict

Targeted offer, seems to have been sent out via e-mail. Some people are getting it on the Arrival Plus, others on the Uber card. They had a similar offer earlier in the year. $15 isn’t exactly a massive bonus, but worth doing for most people.

Got an email for my red aviator card. Alas, no mention of any $15 or other bonus. No thanks.

 William Charles I believe in a previous verdict you said this might not be a good idea since it will show up as another account on the authorized users credit report. If I’m remembering correctly, I like that verdict better. It seems like such a small reward that might actually hurt someone trying to get under the 6/24 for Barclays or 4/24 for Chase etc.

YMMV depending on the situation…just something to keep in mind.

if i add my Player 2, couldn’t that affect her credit and lower chances of her other own card approvals?

just add your dog instead. no SSN necessary and you are still liable for any transaction your pup makes. Thats right, if he/she runs up the card at the doggy store getting them bones YOU are liable!
