Good to know. So you could be getting 4% back on your regular spending on this card if used wisely and easy 2% for domestic/Mexico redemptions. Plus redemption thresholds can be met quicker (unlike needing 100k or so miles to get decent CPM in other programs). Too bad they have no extra benefits like early boarding/free bags. They do have EQMs Still a sweet offering for SFO folks.

Why doesn't barclays offer a CSP type of card allowing transfers to their partners like US Air, Frontier and VX? I hope they move in that direction!
