Kicked off by Barclaycard (briefly)

Well, that was fun.

Last week, I was kicked out of the Barclaycard scheme, and got an 'affiliation terminated' mail, stating: "We have seen that you are currently promoting out of date offers for the Barclaycard program. Barclaycard views this as a serious offence due to the strong governance and guidelines of their brand. Barclaycard has therefore chose to expire you from the program."

Checked out my content, couldn't find anything wrong. Mailed 'em to ask what I'd done, and got:

"We have found you promoting the wrong offer on the <url snip>. Barclaycard are no longer offering or promoting Nectar points. I can not stress how important it is that you update this site immediatly to the latest offerings and branding of Barlcaycard. Please let us know when you have done this - we can then review it. Thanks in advance Barclaycard Program Manager. "

Politely mailed back to tell them that Barclaycard are still part of Nectar, and included the URLs to the Barclaycard Nectar pages. Today, got:

"Congratulations! Your application to the Barclaycard Advertiser Program has been accepted."

Well, that was fun. Wonder if I'll get compensation for the downtime...?

> compensation

I highly doubt it

Similar happened to me - kicked off then reinstated, but I didn't get the courtesy of an email off them...
