Barclaycard is set to axe its deals website on Monday following a financial performance review, with 112 staff in the UK and US impacted.
Bespoke Offers was launched two-and-a-half years ago, providing customers access to discounted offers from various merchants.
Following a review of its financial performance to date, Barclaycard said it decided to close the site along with its Beat My Price service, which pledged to find shoppers a more competitive deal on a particular product you had seen elsewhere.
A Barclaycard spokesman confirmed the closure would put 112 permanent roles at risk, adding that they would try to find suitable replacement roles for affected staff within the organisation.
As for customers, Barclaycard has insisted all purchases made through the sites before Monday would be honoured.
In an official statement, Barclaycard said: "Following an internal review we have announced the closure of our Digital Marketplace business (incorporating our Bespoke Offers and Beat My Price products).
"Our decision to close the businesses was taken after a detailed review of the financial performance to date and against their potential to deliver acceptable returns in the future.
"The business will cease to trade with effect from Monday 26 October. Any transactions that have occurred but not yet been fulfilled will of course be honoured."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
