I’ve been a Barclays customer for years. I opened my first account with them when I was around 9 and have trusted them with my financials ever since.
So, when they bring out a new product, I usually trust their judgment. And when it has to do with travel, my ears definitely prick up.
Barclaycard (the credit card offered by the bank), have created a new website called “bespoke offers”, which gives everyone access to money saving offers from businesses around the UK. The good thing is, you don’t have to have a Barclaycard to access these offers. And even better, because Barclays is such a big company, they can get some *really* good deals.
Take the travel offers section, for example. Right now you can get up to 75% off at LateRooms, a discounted 7 night Med cruise and a two night Cumbria break for less than £100. Plus, they have offers on travel accessories like scented candles and beach towels. Sounds pretty good to me.
The offers are broken down into different sections depending on the type of offer you’re looking for. If you’re on a limited budget, the £99 or less category would be perfect. Or if you’re looking for a spa break, they have those too. I feel like these deals would be great to buy for friends and family if they have a special birthday or occasion coming up. I’ve bought my Mum spa packages before from sites like this one and always been pleased with them.
The offers section isn’t extensive right now, but as they grow, I’m sure this will increase. I’d also like to see a few more offers under the “Travel Extras” section. Maybe suitcases, packing cubes, toiletry bags? As someone who has used items like these on a regular basis over the last couple of years, it’s definitely an area I’m familiar with and am always on the lookout for new products on the market.
I’m intrigued to see how this site grows, as I’m sure that it will continue to develop and improve the more people that use it. Watch this space – it could become the new go-to offers site.
