Barclaycard offers a series of competitively designed credit cards through brand affiliates and through it’s own operation. One such card is the Barclaycard Rewards Mastercard, the application process for which is laid out below.

It is important to fully understand Barclaycard’s position on personal data and privacy before submitting vital information through the course of the application. In many ways, this is your most valuable contribution to Barclaycard, and you should read the privacy policy thoroughly to find out for yourself exactly how your information might be subject to monetization.

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have a valid US mailing address (no PO boxes)
• Have a valid Social Security number

How to Apply

The application process, carried out on a secure website hosted by Barclaycard, is only accessible through this preliminary site which, helpfully, displays the rewards in full that you can expect to earn once you’ve been approved for the card.

 

Simply click ‘Apply now’ to begin the application.
