Cardholders can easily track and redeem their rewards for Amazon.co.uk gift cards through the Barclaycard app. The card comes with no annual fee and offers a £20 Amazon.co.uk gift card as a welcome bonus upon approval. Additionally, it provides a 0% APR on all purchases for the first six months, followed by a Representative APR of 28.9%, subject to the customer's financial circumstances.

Beyond rewards, the Amazon Barclaycard offers exclusive entertainment perks, including advance pre-sales for selected UK events and a 10% discount on pre-sale tickets and food and drink at selected venues when using the card.

This launch marks the latest collaboration between Amazon and Barclays, following the introduction of ‘Instalments’ by Barclays, which allows Amazon customers to spread the cost of purchases over £100 with fixed monthly payments.

John Boumphrey, Amazon UK Country Manager, emphasized the value of the new card: “We’re delighted to introduce a new payment option that allows customers to save and earn on Amazon.” Steve Weston, Head of Everyday Money Management at Barclays, added, “This partnership highlights our commitment to delivering compelling offers for customers.”

Powered by Visa, the Amazon Barclaycard is accepted worldwide and includes Visa’s advanced fraud prevention and Zero Liability Policy, ensuring secure and seamless transactions for users.
