Better than Amex? Barclaycard Avios reward credit cards reviewed

The video reviews two new Barclaycard Avios reward credit cards as an alternative to American Express. The basic Barclaycard Avios card earns 1 Avios point per £1 spent, with a welcome bonus of 5,000 points after spending £1,000 in three months. The Barclaycard Avios Plus card, with a £20 monthly fee, earns 1.5 Avios points per £1 spent and offers a 25,000 point bonus after spending £3,000 in three months. The Avios points can be used for flights or converted to Nectar points for cashback. The video compares the welcome bonuses of these cards to other credit cards and discusses ongoing cashback rates. The Barclaycard Avios Plus card offers a high cashback rate but may not be worth keeping long-term due to the fee. The basic Barclaycard Avios card offers a competitive cashback rate and may be a good option for non-American Express users. The video also discusses the benefits of Mastercard over American Express and suggests using the Chase debit card for cashback.
