Don't see anything in the wiki...has anyone successfully redeemed for Best Western stays paid for upon checkout?

Can almost guarantee that that will be redeemable. It's directly through the hotel and hotels have always been redeemable.

I have to believe they would be eligible, considering Orbitz/RocketMiles-booked BW stays are eligible.

IC GLOBAL Group came up as a redeem, for those that heard of 5dimes knows what im using it for. but also a travel company

Has anyone bought anything from clothingarts.com? They sell travel clothes and it would be awesome to redeem Arrival points for a pair of pants.

Reached the $3,000 worth of charges and 40,000 points credited right away, no waiting for a payment and the following billing cycle like AMEX did me

highly unlikely and doubtful at the same time

All Arrival points post once the charge posts to your account, there is no waiting till your statement closes like most other cards. Quite a nice perk.
Wishful thinking :D

Yes especially on the bonus points.

I already have TripIt Pro. How do I get the free activation for next year that comes with the card?

Was the Arrival (40K) introduced with a $1000 spend and then changed to $3k ?

I got the $1k deal but was going to get another card in my dads name this summer and was wondering if the $1k spend was just a one time offer or if we might see it again on the 40K card,

Thanks

Yes, it did change and No I do not think it will change back to 1k , IMHO.

I applied and should be getting the card in a few days. I hope Disney gets added soon. I wonder if Disney cruises works?

Yes Disney cruises work. I've already used my Arrival+ miles to pay off the deposit and will be using the rest of my miles to pay off the rest of the cruise once I pay it here in the next week (just waiting on my travel agent to call).

took the chance and applied for the Arrival Plus with just being approved for the US Airways in April, the Williams Sonoma in January and the Arrival back in June 2013. Was instantly approved and actually shocked. All my Barclays cards have been instant approvals so never have had to call in. Now debating to close my no AF Arrival and transfer the limit to the Plus. Is that even possible?
