Looking for a good balance transfer credit card last night and came across this deal.
Not for everyone and I'm sure it won't go too hot, but £25 for 2mins of applying is a good return on investment.
Happy cashacking!

If you plan on using online banking I'd be skipping Barclays. They've been having issues for months now with many customer unable to even open the app.

From my experience the Barclaycard android app is one of the best.

It was until the last update, I've spoken with Barclays support and they've advised that they're seeing a large number of users report the exact same thing with Motorola, HTC and Samsung phones.
Check the reviews on the appstore, really disappointing
I've now changed bank to Santander

I wouldn't know; last time I checked, the app can't installed on rooted devices. The FirstDirect app, on the other hand, dies. This info may be relevant to some. Or perhaps not :-) The deal's hot though.

Are you using a rooted android? then it won't work, my app works fine on s7 edge, unrooted .

As tempting as these sort of cashback things are, just be aware that every time you apply for credit it's recorded........10% of your personal credit score is determined by the number of applications. So great if you really need the credit, but if you don't you'll be self harming each time you make a phantom application.

Actually coming up to the end of my 0% period with Barclaycard - Had no issues with either the mobile app or the website to manage my account.
If you're worried about getting declined for a credit card - my advice would be to use one the three free credit report sites:
Noddle (CallCredit) MSE Credit Club (Experian) Clearscore (Equifax)
Not only will you get a free copy of your credit report for all CRAs, they also assess your eligibility for credit cards and may offer some with 100% gurantee that you will be offered it. This is ultimatley how they make their money, yes you don't get cashback, they get the kickbaclk instead but at least you know you've 100% got a card. Alternativley, if you find a lender with high elgibility on their site, just go though Quidco/TCB yourself to get the reward.
