Chip + pin compatibility and no forex fees?
^ True, I have no foreign fees on several cards so I didn't think about it.
I can just see Barclays saying the 10K miles applies to the US Airways MC, not the Aviator Red we will all have. I have that email too, so I hope the Red cards we receive continue with the miles. Interesting bit about 'upgrading/downgrading' I don't plan on touching the account to change anything, I'll just get whatever they decide to send. My email said a Red card between April 15th and June.
Rove312- I agree if the 10K miles stay with us, it's
definitely worth keeping. As others said, hopefully Barclays keeps up the promos to sweeten the pot.
My AF hit 2 weeks ago, has anyone had luck getting it waived?
