I'm still in the camp that while the World Elite version looks cool, I'm content with the World card and I'm one of those that would likely never use the added benefits of World Elite anyway.

The additional travel categories Barclaycard has added, as well as expanding the redemption period from 90 to 120 days and the addition of chip and pin is more than what anyone I think ever expected them to do before.

This card more than makes up for all the uncategorized spending I could do with my Chase cards so there is no way I would drop it. I'm looking forward to the World card that I have coming in the mail - whenever I get it.
