You can find out everything you need to know about payment holidays here – and you can apply online.

Support if your payment holiday’s ending

If you already have a payment holiday in place, here are some ways we can support you as it comes to an end.

Apply for a payment holiday

If you haven’t already had a payment holiday, see if you’re eligible and apply online – and find out how payment holidays affect your Barclaycard balance. We also explain what to do if you can’t afford your next minimum payment.

You have until 31st October 2020 to apply for a payment holiday.

Transaction disputes and credit balance refunds

Disputed transactions

If you’ve used your Barclaycard to pay for a trip or event that’s now been cancelled, you might be able to claim your money back (conditions apply).

 

Credit balance refunds

If your plans have changed and you’ve been refunded to your Barclaycard as a result, you can ask us to transfer the credit balance to your bank account.

Fraud protection

Fraud protection

Fraudsters are using the publicity around coronavirus as cover for scams. Don’t disclose any personal or financial information – we’ll never ask you to share your passcodes or PINs with us.

Using contactless ways to pay

Avoiding contact when you pay

We’ve updated the contactless limit to £45 to help make it easier for you to make payments with your Barclaycard instead of cash. Just check with the retailer first that they’ve increased their limits before you pay. You can also set up Apple Pay or Contactless Mobile on your device.
