I know this change was for the new purchases, but I didn't think our old purchases would be elevated to the new redemption schedule!

Redeem for travel statement credits, your best value, starting at 2,500 miles for $25 toward travel purchases within the last 120 days. Don't have a recent travel purchase? You can redeem for cash back statement credits, gift cards and merchandise.

However when I just logged into my acct, my redeem travel section was missing. I guess they are updating it. I only had options for cashback, merchandise, and gift cards.

Get it again
 
I originally opened the Barclays Arrival MC in April 2013. For some stupid reason, I closed it this year, March 2014. Not one of my best decisions. I'd like to get it again. If I apply again, will I get the sign up bonus? What're the details on getting this card again? Is this considered a new product?

Thanks for moving my post...I literally missed this thread right below :)

This is awesome, and it definitely makes the card worth the annual fee now compared to before where I was likely going to cancel before the AF posted. I can now redeem 120 days out as well :)

Hopefully the EMV will be Chip & PIN and not just Chip & Signature for our 4 week trip overseas this summer.

I can see my travel tag now. Even the picture on it is different and it says "Best value".

As Barclay123 mentioned above, it seems like only some of the cards are getting changed to World Elite from World. Mine also shows the same picture as yours on my accounts page without the silver MC logo, and only the World logo, does that mean we're not getting World Elite?

Would be severely disappointed if that were the case. Was just about to make a spot in the wallet for the Arrival+, but World/WE MC distinction leaves a bad taste and makes me want to stick it back in the drawer.

Scroll back to post 1299 to read what is known about the refreshed card.

It would be cool if they added a category that gave us 3 miles per $...I am not sure what they offer to make it that more attractive, but that would sure be awesome.

You mean like me having a Hawaiian Airlines CC account showing in my Barclay account list even though the account was closed with BoA months before the conversion?


Mail date set for 5/28 and 7-10 business days after for receipt.
Any way for an existing cardholder to get the EMV card by next Tuesday (5/20)? I'm going on vacation on the 21st and would very much like to have a Chip+PIN option.

if the money is refunded back into the barclay CC, would the points also be refunded as well??

any thoughts?

I've updated the Wiki with a new section - "Successful - Plus Only." Since they are allowing retroactive redemptions, we should get some good data on charges that were not redeemable on the Arrival card but are redeemable on Arrival Plus. I moved 3 of my reported charges from Unsuccessful to Successful - Plus Only.

I got some travel expenses manually redeemed. After the card update, those charges now can be redeemed again on the website. It is also letting me redeem against the annual fee, which was just waived. Lol

I guess ill cash them out.

Does anyone know how long it take for the credit to show up?

Jr train and Tokyo airport bus

World Elite vs. World...what is the main difference? :confused:
