Barclays & IHG launch new co-brand “Black card” in UK

BarclayCard UK and IHG / Intercontinental Hotels have launched a new “Black Visa” co-branded credit card in the UK.

The new “Black Visa” offers cardholders double point on each £1 spent compared to the standard Visa co-branded card, giving the cardholder 4 points per £1 spent at IHG properties, and 2 points per £1 elsewhere. Cardholders also get a free night voucher valid at over 4,400 properties each year the cardholder spends £10,000 on the card. 

Bonus: as a bonus offering, new cardholders will receive 20,000 bonus points after making their first purchase on the card.

No word on other benefits offers by the card but we will be adding this to our database of co-branded hotel credit cards and all details will be made available to our clients. Interestingly enough, the card has an annual fee of £99 and an APR of – 39.7%? Seems like a high APR but thats straight from the Barclays website folks. We will be confirming that.
