Barclay / Barclaycard Aviator MC Promo: 30 or 50% Bonus Miles Q3 2016
 

I just got a flyer in the mail from Barclays:

Not sure if this is targeted or available to all Aviator Red and/or Silver cards, but it's worth checking your account for a few extra miles this quarter. The banner was in the right column of the Account landing page as soon as I logged in. Took two clicks to register.

Nothing for me (I have 2 Red cards too one with the yearly 10K bonus) but my husband received a 30% offer yesterday.

Definitely different based on usage or waived annual fee I would surmise.

I got the 30% offer, doesn't seem to be tied to low spend as I had been using the card as my day-to-day since I had been offered another bonus offer for the spring quarter. I think they're just trying to desperately keep people spending on these cards instead of going to Citi.

Nothing for me either, I have the Silver card.

I also got the 30% on a low-use Red. If they're "desperate" they really need to try harder. Actually, I did have a spurt of activity; since I'm remodeling the kitchen, the recent bonus on home improvement was handy, even though it had a ridiculously low cap.

Anyway, assuming you value an AA mile at 1.5, 30% still leaves the value for non-AA charging just under the 2% I get on a different card, so no deal.

I have the red, haven't gotten anything yet. I did get the fee waived last December for this year.

My Citi AA Exec card is primary but I try to run 1-2 charges a month on the BarclayCard to keep it active. I'd swap over to it for the promo period if I got it.

I don't need the red card - I just decided to keep it incase I needed a non-Citi AA card in the future.

I got the same offer as the OP; I have the Silver card.

I haven't received any email or flyer in the mail, just noticed the offer in my online account.

Well I take it back, about an hour ago I received an email with the following:

Was nice to be included, and of course I registered. ^

Nothing for me yet on my Silver card.

I got the 30% promo up to 5k miles. is 5K miles promo miles, ie. spending $16K on the card will give me 16K+4.8K miles in total? or the spending is limited to $5k for promotional offer, anything above $5K only earns 1 miles per $1? Thanks

Checking my AAdvantage Aviator Silver account I saw a "earn more miles" box to click on.

No email received, however. So, check your account for the offer, all.

The earnable bonus award miles seem capped at 5,000. E.g. Maximum spend that will earn the bonus is $16,667, and anything over earns the usual one mile per $1.00. Unless with AA as defined, of course, but the bonus miles should still be capped ar 5,000.

I received the 50% bonus offer via email overnight as well.

This is interesting, as I also have the 5000 bonus pts after $5000 spend on my SPG business Amex (+ another 5000 on another $5000), as well as bonus 4000 pts after $4000 spend on my Chase Hyatt Visa.

AND I just got the DL Gold Amex (50,000 miles) and Citi Hilton (75,000) both with $2K spend.

Plus I'm waiting on the 30K AA miles from the Aviator promo from the 1st half of 2016.

It'll be a summer of bonuses ....

Seems targeted. Mine was only good for 30% bonus

Got the 30% bonus offer. Not particularly swayed by it - previous offers such as the "spend at least $X in X consecutive months and receive X,000 bonus miles" were much more generous. At this point I'm only keeping this card for the 10K annual bonus and don't put much if any spend on it.
