Barclaycard has sent out e-mails to current cardholders of select cards offering them a bonus when referring a friend.
JetBlue Plus
- Earn 5,000 points for every approved account you refer through this special offer. Up to a maximum of 50,000 bonus points.
The issue with this offer is that the person you refer only receives 30,000 points after $1,000 spend. There is a public offer for 40,000 points after $1,000 in spend.
Hawaiian Airlines
- Earn 5,000 points for every approved account you refer through this special offer. Up to a maximum of 50,000 bonus points.
Person being referred receives 35,000 points. Best offer is 50,000 points.
Wyndham – No Annual Fee
- Earn 6,000 points for every approved account you refer through this special offer. Up to a maximum of 60,000 bonus points.
Person being referred receives 15,000 points after first purchase. This matches the current best offer.
Our Verdict
Obviously referring a friend to a bonus that is 10,000 points lower just so you can get 5,000 points is unacceptable. I think Barclaycard has also sent out offers for other cards as well, if they have please let us know the details in the comments. Please do not share your actual referral links here, if there are any good offers we will create a separate post for that.
