What is so good about it? Isn't Amex Blue and Wells Fargo better than this? Ok I understand WF gives sh***y limits and it has a 6 months period but still there are other cards. Everyone agrees UR points are worth at least 2 cents so why not try focusing on UR cards like Ink, CSP, Freedom etc.
By combining the Arrival card with your UR cards (or AMEX CCs or whatever), you can greatly minimize your spend to almost zero when traveling.
Before you sign up for any card, you should consider your goals for the year. Why do it if you do not plan to travel much?
But if you are a traveler as most here are, then you will churn this card along with your others in your manufactured spend ad-infinitum and love every step of the way to your next awesome holiday.
