However, you get what you pay for. I think I'm going to wait awhile before applying, perhaps not until the summer.
In other news, I finally got the Barclays Arrival Card on Friday. Such a useless card when it comes to rewards. I'd much rather have it be like AMEX Membership Rewards where I could just transfer points to VX (or other airlines or loyalty programs). I may send them that suggestion.
Imagine if they do that and have to switch everyone again. There will be some kind of thank you for putting up with this....again.
