Barclaycard Freedom TV ad

[Roadragew25r]

The ad's great, found it lags a bit though. This is one of the best ads i've seen in a long time, along with the waterslide ad

It's green onions by booker t and the mg's

[poetryanne]

I can understand the message they are getting across is how easy it is not only to use and carry around your Barcleycard but also how rewarding it can be to use it. I don't however find this ad as entertaining and humorous as the waterslide ad.That was a classic which will run and run.This one will soon be forgotten

[00dom00]

who reworked the song? its genius

[MeIsJack09]

Would barclay be interested in actually making this an actually song, this version is really good, it would be a great hit!

In the water slide ad, the bloke swipes his card on the machine without usin a pin...was that just for the ad? cos it could be anyones card. :/ :L lol -

oh nd this ad is very clever, i like it ;D

[Barclaycardcreate]

@sophsonline Hi there

Glad to hear you like the advert. The waterslide advert is promoting contactless payment, head to the Barclaycard website and search for contactless payment to find out more

[Addonmaniac]

@sophsonline well I think they are saying " that you have a card which you dont need to put a pin in ... Much faster way to pay for your food " Well I think its a good idea ...

[TehAznBanana]

Isnt that Green Onions by Booker T & The MGs!? :DDDDDDD:D:D:D:DD

[HorseshoesGirl11]

Amazing advert! x

[SunburntHands]

A touchtone PIN pad would be a bit of a security problem.

[Barclaycardcreate]

@SunburntHands Hi there

The pin pads do not actually emit a touchtone version of the pin in reality so this will not compromise security

Hope this helps, do let us know if you have any more queries

Barclaycard

[SunburntHands]

Can you think of any security problems presented by a PIN pad that loudly emits a touchtone version of your PIN?

[Barclaycardcreate]

@SunburntHands Hi there

Oh go on, Barclaycardcreate - tell us about the locations! That last one looks amazing.. does it really exist?

I lived in Sao Paulo when your Waterslide ads were on so sadly I had to break the news to my friends in the UK that the tubes didn't really exist

[Barclaycardcreate]

am i the only one dat thinks the guy looks like berdyman?

[carlosax1]

If card scanners made a certain beep for each certain number, couldn't people work out our pin using the sounds? Still great advert though lol

[Barclaycardcreate]

@carlosax1 Hi there

Glad to hear you like the advert. Just to confirm that that the card scanners do not actually make different sounds for each numbers in reality, it's only a part of the advert.

Hope this helps answer your query, do let us know if you have any more

[tezzrexx]

can you download it from anywhere?

[jjjkjkjkjjj]

Shouldn't be hard to find. Look for Booker T and the MGs, who did the original version, or the blues brothers, or Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn. It should be on itunes, amazon, and there are plenty of videos of it here on youtube as well.

[blackbend]

Green Onions

[nikeyboii45]

[sony250295]
