In a first stage, the current competition was assessed. Secondly, by studying consumers’ preferences through the creation of two distinct surveys, it was possible to derive the main priorities for Barclaycard’s product portfolio development. Generally, customers highly value immediate benefits and financial benefits. Therefore, Barclaycard is advised to implement cashback, Email/ SMS alerts, and keep flexible repayment conditions, in order to achieve its goals.engCredit cardproduct portfolio managementcustomer loyaltyNew customer acquisitionBarclaycard: A Go-To Brand for Payments and Lending in the Iberian Peninsula: Strategies of Portfolio Optimization in the Portuguese Market and New Customer Engagement in Spainmaster thesis201524317
