Barclays customers will have the option of two Credit cards to choose from - the Barclays Premier League Credit card and Platinum Worldmiles Credit card.

Additionally to the above benefits, the Barclays Premier League Credit card users will have the chance to take part in a Barclays Premier League draw and win a return trip to the UK to watch a Premier League match, as well as the chance to win genuine Barclays Premier League merchandise.

The Platinum Worldmiles Credit card provides customers with the added benefits of automatic membership to the Barclays Worldmiles Loyalty Programme, with opportunity to earn Worldmiles redeemable for free air tickets, on any airline and to any destination in the world; free Travel Insurance and discounted products and services offered by a number of Barclays Alliance partners.
