Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Barclays Credit card department,

Rewards Maryland

On -/-/-, Barclay closed my Barclay Arrival MasterCard account and sent a letter indicating the following : We have recently conducted a review of our accounts. Following this review, we regret to advise you that we are unable to maintain an account with you because of your history of account usage. Your account has been closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Cardmember Agreement that governs your account. '' Upon receipt of this letter, I called Barclay 's on -/-/- and spoke to a customer service representative and a manager. I asked them for the reason why my account was closed without any warning and they basically just repeated what the letter had stated and that they could not provide any more details. I told them that I had - Barclay Arrival points in this account that I can no longer access because the account is now closed. The manager stated that there was nothing he could do to get those points to be credited back to me. These points are worth approximately $1500.00 if they are redeemed towards travel expenses such as hotels, airfare, etc. I was travelling to - in -/-/- and -/-/-. Had planned


on making payments and keeping outstanding balance well within my credit limit. I would have appreciated if Barclay 's had at least notified me about what I had been doing that was unsatisfactory, so that I could have avoided being closed. Instead they closed my account without any warning. I was planning to downgrade my card to basic one anyways but they said there was not a way to do so and they would not even refund or compensate for my points that I accumulated for my international travel, which is what they point out as best benefit associated with the credit card to begin with. Its very unethical and rude on Barclay 's part and caused huge discomfort as I had planned to rely on them for the duration of my stay in -.
