I agree with the principle though, some have been horsing through major bus spends and have amassed tremendous amounts of miles.
I don't want to second-guess what you're saying, but it seems that you'd need to be rather well off to be making that much just in truly personal spending. I don't think that's Barclays' target market, partly because it's difficult to distinguish from business spending (where they'd rather you used their business cards that net them more in interchange fees).
