Normally, when you have multiple purchases, as an example

May 10th subway 5.30
May 12th 7-11 4.10

you are billed $8.70 and you get 9 miles (if your credit card gives you 1 mile to 1 dollar spent).


However, for Barclay US airways credit card, they reward you for each individual item. What's more interesting is, that they always seem to round UP!

So i got : 6 miles for subway purchase ($5.30) and 5 miles for 7-11 ($4.1) <-- these are just examples.

This theoretically means that I can, up to, get two miles per one dollar spent, (if my spending comes out to $1.01, although i haven't tried if 1 cents on top of 1 dollar will result in round up or down). I know for many FTs one or two additional miles won't make any difference, but it was interesting to see how Barclay awarded miles based on individual purchases, rather than NET purchase at the end of statement.
