Fees, features and customer service across 20+ of the most popular banks are all weighted and scaled to produce a score out of 10. The higher the score the better the account \u2013 simple.<\/p>\n\n<a class=\"luna-button luna-button--primary has-margin-bottom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/digital-banking\/banking-apps-ratings-methodology\">Read the full methodology<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>How to get the rewards<\/h3><p>To earn the rewards, you\u2019ll need to have a Barclays current account and agree to pay the membership fee of \u00a35 a month. You\u2019ll also need to pay at least \u00a3800 into your current account each month and register for the Barclays app or online banking.<\/p><h3>What are the benefits?<\/h3><p>The benefits of Barclays Blue Rewards are the access to higher rates on savings accounts than other Barclays accounts, cashback at selected retailers and a subscription for Apple TV Plus (normally \u00a39.99 a month), complete with the MLS Season Pass (normally \u00a314.99 a month or \u00a399 for a season). MLS is Major League Soccer, which is the top football league in North America and Apple TV Plus is the only place to watch it, so this is a decent perk if you\u2019re a fan.<\/p><h3>Who is it for?<\/h3><p>Barclays Blue Rewards is suitable for anyone who holds a Barclays current account. To qualify for a Barclays current account you will need to be a UK resident and at least 18 years old. To qualify for Barclays Blue Rewards you will need to be happy to pay \u00a35 a month, be able to pay at least \u00a3800 into your current account each month and register for the Barclays app or

current account, you might be able to add Blue Rewards to it by paying a monthly fee of \u00a35 and depositing at least \u00a3800 a month into your account.<\/p><p>But what do you get in return? Well, Barclays has recently revamped its offering (for the worse) so that you no longer get a \u00a35 monthly cash award, cancelling out your monthly fee. <\/p><p>Instead, you\u2019ll get access to a Rainy Day Saver account and a Blue Rewards Saver account, as well as the opportunity to earn up to 15% cashback at certain retailers.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll also be able to enjoy an Apple TV Plus subscription, worth \u00a39.99 a month, including the option to add on Apple\u2019s MLS Season Pass if that\u2019s something you\u2019re interested in. <\/p><p>Ultimately, it\u2019s this Apple subscription that will be the key driver if you\u2019re looking at Barclays Blue Rewards. After all, there are plenty of other current accounts with linked competitive savings accounts and cashback offers, so there\u2019s no point applying for Blue Rewards just for that. But even so, I\u2019m still not convinced it\u2019s worth paying \u00a35 a month when there\u2019s very little else on offer.\"<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n

Barclays customer, then adding Barclays Blue Rewards to your current account will get you access to some very competitive savings accounts, which is a particularly attractive bonus, especially if you want to keep all your accounts with one bank. However, there are more competitive schemes out there and better savings accounts available that don\u2019t charge a monthly fee. <\/p><p>If you normally subscribe to Apple TV Plus then you could save money with Barclays Blue, though there are other ways to get it for free. If you\u2019re a massive fan of MLS then Barclays Blue Rewards seems to be made just for you, as you get an MLS Season Pass thrown into your Apple TV Plus subscription, too. However, even here the value might not be as good as it seems, with Apple sometimes offering a discount on the MLS Season Pass or even making it free for Apple TV Plus subscribers, which is what it is at the time of writing.<\/p><p>It\u2019s well worth comparing what else is on offer from other banks before taking the plunge. You can compare a range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\">current accounts<\/a> in our full guide.<\/p>                                    \n<style>\n.tablefade { height: 850px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: scroll; }\n.tablefade .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade th:first-child, .tablefade td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 10rem; margin-top: -10rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; }\n.tablefade img { min-width: 96px; min-height: 53px; }\n\n.tablefade-filtered { max-height: 500px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade-filtered th:first-child, .tablefade-filtered td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade-filtered tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter-filtered { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 3rem; margin-top: -3rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; z-index: 5; }\n\n.lightbox { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 9999; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }\n.lightbox img { display: block; max-width: 90%; max-height: 90%; margin: auto; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); }\n<\/style>\n\n                    \n    \n\n<div id=\"lightbox\" class=\"lightbox\" onclick=\"closeLightbox()\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"lightbox-img\" src=\"\" alt=\"Expanded Finder Badge\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n  function openLightbox(event, imageUrl) {\n    event.preventDefault();\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    const lbImg = document.getElementById('lightbox-img');\n    if(lb && lbImg) {\n        lbImg.src = imageUrl;\n        lb.style.display = \"block\";\n    }\n  }\n  function closeLightbox() {\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    if(lb) lb.style.display = \"none\";\n  }\n<\/script><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000003\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">How can I join Barclays Blue Rewards?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>If you already have a Barclays bank account and are registered for online banking or use the Barclays app, you can simply switch on Blue Rewards by logging in.
