Reward Money can be earned at around 30,000 retail outlets across the UK, including big retailers and brands such as npower and Pizza Express, as well as small and medium retailers. Additionally, Shell has joined Barclaycard Freedom, with over 900 petrol stations across the UK.
Barclaycard cardholders will earn 1% in most participating outlets (0.5% at Shell) alongside other special promotions and discounts in store. Reward Money is recorded in pounds and pence, with no vouchers or coupons to save and no points to calculate. Barclaycard cardholders will be rewarded for using their card to make a purchase, with no need to register or receive a new card.
Barclaycard customers making a purchase in most participating retailers will see the value of their Reward Money appear on the card machine before they enter their PIN to pay. They will then be able to redeem some or all of their Reward Money on that transaction, or continue to save up for a future purchase.
Cardholders can also view their Reward Money account by logging onto mybarclaycard, with list transactions where Reward Money has been earned or redeemed, and display relevant offers.
Sarah Newman, managing director of Barclaycard Freedom, said: “We are delighted to welcome Shell to Barclaycard Freedom. The range of retailers in Barclaycard Freedom means that our customers can earn Reward Money when they are shopping on the high street, filling up the car, going out for a meal or shopping online.
“The simplicity of Barclaycard Freedom means that customers earn Reward Money without the need to do anything extra they simply use their Barclaycard to make a purchase. The beauty of the scheme lies in the fact that Reward Money can then be redeemed on purchases in most retailers and with around 30,000 retail outlets participating from today, the options to redeem are endless.”
