easyMoney: £100,000 for Matt Barrett & £10,000 for each of his children!
posted: Oct 24, 2003

Last week the boss of Barclays did a Ratner in front of the Commons Treasury Committee.

Despite being the boss of the country's biggest credit card with 9 million customers, Matthew Barrett told the committee that credit cards were too expensive for him to borrow money and that he had advised his four children not to do so as well.

Stelios, serial entrepreneur, easyGroup chairman and founder of the easyMoney credit card offered to organize an easyMoney credit card for Matthew Barrett with £100,000 free cash on the card as a gift. This offer, valid for a month, is conditional upon Matthew Barrett cutting up his Barclaycard and sending it to Stelios and upon him starting to use his new easyMoney credit card.

Now Stelios has extended this offer to Matthew Barrett's four "young adult" children. If they cut up their Barclaycards and send them to Stelios, he will organize easyMoney credit cards for them with a £10,000 free cash gift on each of the cards which they need to start using as well for the offer to be valid.

"I'm sorry that the Barretts find their credit cards too expensive," said Stelios "and I hope that they will enjoy using their easyMoney credit cards with cash gifts instead. Matt Barrett hasn't taken up my offer yet but I hope his kids will see sense and talk the old man into them cutting up their Barclaycards as a family. There is no need for all five members of the family to agree, each one can take the cash individually."

Stelios continued, "Barclays ripped off easyJet customers when they owned Luton airport by tripling landing fees, they have been investigated for keeping secret files on me and they are also ripping off their nine million credit card customers. It doesn't have to be like this. The Barretts should set us all an example by cutting up their Barclaycards and using an easyMoney card instead."
