What may be "fueling this thread" has nothing to do with what may be causing a "lull" in retention offers at Barclay's end. Barclay has announced more upcoming changes to benefits (no details) and one agent told me March 1 (either announcement date or effectiveness date, I'm not sure which) and also told me that explains why there are currently no offers for me. Citi already upped some of the spending benefits of their AA cards, so Barclay may be planning something to better compete, who knows. But all is speculation until it's announced.
