Barclaycard decides to scam people who pay in full

Essentially if they notice you are paying in full each month they then move your payment date in the hope they can gouge you for late payment fees.

I describe what I think of them but it'd break the forum rules.

Unbelievable! He denied that was the reason they moved the payment date but never actually explained WHY they moved the payment date.

seems a bit sneaky, but from the sounds of it it will be well documented on the statement.

I also imagine those who pay in full each month are pretty organised and therefore most likely pay by direct debit, so it shouldn't be a problem, as its automated.

Direct Debit for the win.

Well if I were a Barclaycard customer and paid in full every month, I would ditch them, simple as.

Plenty more credit card companies.
