If anyone is able to PC to the new "premier card" please post. (from A, A+ or barclay-rewards).
2.1% arrival is ok, but there are better cards for non-bonused spend. Amex edp, BB+, spg. citi DC, BoA rewards if you have requisite holdings, chase FU. A few other 2.5-3% cashback cards out there too. Barclays card works at pin only locations in europe, like at a train kiosk, which is helpful. But barclays jetblue/aa cards work the same, so you don't need them all.
Cheers.
