Barclays Arrival/Arrival Cards (1.1%/2.2% travel credits)

www.barclaycardarrival.com

Two new cards from Barclaycard, very similar to the CapitalOne Venture cards as well as the BofA Travel Rewards Cards.

On both cards, you can redeem points for a number of things, but if you use your points for statement credits to be applied against travel purchases, you get 10% of the points back. Both cards have no foreign transaction fees.

The no annual fee version accrues 1 point per dollar charged, and 2 points per dollar charged for travel and dining. Taking the 10% rebate into consideration, when redeemed for credits against travel purchases, you would get 1.1% back for general purchases and 2.2% back for travel and dining.

The annual fee version comes with a $89 annual fee, but you get 2 points per every dollar charged, which when redeemed for credits against travel purchases (and taking into consideration the 10% rebate), would get you 2.2% back.
