Barclaycard has bumped-up the rewards on its Freedom Rewards credit card - just in time to tempt shoppers reluctant to head out to the High Street now the weather has turned.

The Freedom Rewards card will pay a higher reward rate on online shopping through its Freedom Rewards store.

Both new and existing customers will now be able clock up three points for every 1 spent with favourites such as ASOS, Debenhams and House of Fraser. Here's how the new reward offer stacks up.

Rewards cards: If used correctly you could earn money on your online shopping with Barclaycard's Freedom Rewards Credit Card

Barclaycard's Freedom Reward scheme works by holders earning points when the spend, and then using the points to buy vouchers from a list of retailers via the online Freedom Rewards store.

If you are a new customer signing up to the Barclaycard credit card you get an introductory bonus of 10,500 Freedom points (worth 30 in vouchers) when you spend 500 on the card in the first three months.

Apart from that, different types of spending earn different levels of points. You get one point for every 1 spent on general spending and two points on supermarket, petrol and TFL travel bills.
