Barclays Premier Offers £400 Bonus & Up to 43K Avios
Barclays is offering its highest-ever switcher bonus of £400 for new Premier Banking customers who apply before November 27, 2025. This incentive, coupled with Barclays Avios Rewards, creates an attractive package for eligible individuals. To qualify for Premier Banking, applicants must have a gross annual income of £75,000 or more paid into their account, or hold at least £100,000 in savings or eligible investments with Barclays. The £400 bonus requires opening a sole Premier Current Account via the Barclays app, initiating a full switch using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) by the deadline, depositing a minimum of £4,000, and transferring at least two active direct debits.
Barclays Avios Rewards, an exclusive add-on for Premier customers, allows for monthly Avios collection for a £12 fee. Members receive 1,500 Avios each month. New Barclays customers who join Avios Rewards and complete a full switch within three months are also awarded a 25,000 Avios joining bonus. This means eligible customers could accrue up to 43,000 Avios in their first year. After 12 months, members receive an Anniversary Reward: a choice between a cabin upgrade voucher or 7,000 bonus Avios.
The cabin upgrade voucher permits a one-cabin class upgrade on a return flight for one person or a one-way flight for two, valid for two years. However, upgrades are subject to reward flight availability in the higher cabin, cannot be used for First Class, and may incur additional taxes and charges. The voucher is transferable but must be booked from the Premier member's ba.com account. Beyond these rewards, Premier Banking customers also receive an Apple TV+ subscription. This comprehensive offering, especially with the limited-time £400 bonus, positions Barclays Premier Banking and Avios Rewards as a compelling option for those meeting the financial criteria.
