Carry forward of red card spend
 
Great news. Assume 1 year after you got red? Will Barclaycard transfer your red card spend to your new silver card so you can get a head start of the 5K loyalty points bonuses?

Similar question. I downgraded my card to a no fee master card. But online is still showing the fee and the paid card. It’s been several days now

After going through several pages I didn't see this question so let me ask. Are there any issues with getting the sign up bonus miles for the AA Red card if you've had the card and received signup bonus miles in the past, albeit at least 3 years ago and it's been closed for that many years? Thanks for any info on this!

Red card 2nd bonus
 
We got a second bonus on red card… Was about 3 years or so. First red card we upgraded to
silver before getting rid of it. Awaiting another “offer” for silver. Really hoping they’ll credit red card spend towards the loyalty points $20k bonus. I saw one poster advising they would likely credit it… But no confirmation

I closed my first Aviator Red in 12/20 and reapplied in April of this year (closed about 16ish months) and received the bonus no problem. The general rule with Barclays is that if you are approved again, you'll get the SUB.

Youre probably ok. I got a second bonus after two years.

Is there a bonus for spending $15k on aviator red this year?

I upgraded to silver this year and they did not count my spending on the red before the upgrade (I had some back and froth with them on it but got nowhere). Hope you have better luck.

Was just offered an upgrade to silver yesterday and accepted. Received an email that my new card would be sent on Sept12th.

Silver card
 
Great re: silver upgrade. When you get it, let us all know if they credit your account with the number of loyalty points/spend you had with the red card…. One person said they got credited and another said they didn’t. It’s important for AA bonus loyalty point bonuses at $20k etc Thanks!

Did you ever receive any sort of confirmation? I recently upgraded as well and the exact same thing happened. I'm wondering if I should call

JC_Charlotte Aug 16, 2022 9:51 am

For mine, I did not and confirmed by using the chat online.

I got a 2nd signup bonus while I had a World Mastercard Aviator Red (before it switched to World Elite MC). I've also gotten it a few more times after that so you should be fine.

They only offer upgrade to silver after 1 year of having the card right?

That's the earliest that they will offer it. Whether they offer it at that point is YMMV.
