Barclaycard Freedom

Barclaycard Freedom is one of the broadest rewards schemes in the UK, allowing Barclaycard customers to automatically earn Reward Money at participating retailers. Unlike other reward schemes that offer points, Barclaycard Freedom gives customers Reward Money in pounds and pence, which can be used to pay for goods or services at selected stores.

Reward Money can be earned at thousands of retail outlets across the UK, including big name retailers and brands such as Goldsmiths, Shell, LA fitness and PizzaExpress, as well as many smaller retailers. House of Fraser recently became the latest store which allows customers to reap the benefits of Barclaycard Freedom across its 60 stores and online.

Freedom offers transparent value by offering rewards in pounds and pence rather than points. In addition it delivers personalised retail offers to the consumer and provides a simple customer experience involving payment with their Barclaycard.
