Barclays and British Airways (BA) earlier this week announced the launch of the British Airways Barclaycard, in association with MasterCard Worldwide. The new card will be accepted across the MasterCard global network with 27.3 million acceptance locations around the world, which include more than 1.9 million ATM locations worldwide. Aimed at frequent travellers, the British Airways Barclaycard is the result of a unique partnership between Barclays, British Airways and MasterCard, offering exclusive in-the-air and on-the-ground travel perks.
Michael Miebach, Managing Director, Barclays Global Retail and Commercial Banking, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) said, “Barclays undertook extensive consumer research before launching this product, with results showcasing that the majority of credit card users are looking for a card that combines great on-the-ground privileges along with reward miles. We firmly believe that the new British Airways Barclaycard offers customers unparalleled rewards, getting them set and on their way to their next holiday faster. |
