So you can use the points on a cruise without having to purchase airfare? I live close to several cruise ports, so this would be icing on the cake. I emailed and am still waiting for a reply other than the automated. Thanks!

Was the cruise around $800 to $1000 and have you received your Barkley's statement without the charge or should I say with the credit?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that--I purchased a cruise and airfare package. My bet is that you can use it for anything on Travelocity period. I need to make a stand-alone hotel reservation (which should be the same, functionally) next week, so I'll post here about whether or not I can use my points.

JudyJFLA

One last question on the cruise redemption. Did your points cover the taxes and fuel surcharge if any as well? If so this is a great deal.....

I received my Travelocity card yesterd. Like others, all the literature sent with the card described the benefits of the no annul fee card. I sent a secure email to Juniper and received the following response:

Dear Schutzee,

Thank you for contacting us regarding your Travelocity MasterCard account. We do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you; however, we can certainly address your concern.

Our records indicate that the account has an annual fee of $69.00. Please keep in mind, the annual fee keeps and maintains the account rewards program and its benefits. Information about this fee was presented in the original offer you received, and is also included in your Terms and Conditions.

With your Travelocity MasterCard , purchases will earn 4 points for every $1 spent with Travelocity and two points for every $1 spent on all other purchases . In addition, you will receive a bonus of 5,000 miles for the first use of your card. You can also earn up to additional 5,000 bonus points for balance transfers completed during the first 30 days that your account is open.

I called about the balance transfer and was told there is a 3% fee. Has anyone actually done a transfer and can confirm this?

JudyJFLA

I did the balance transfer at the time I applied, $5000 was $50 fee, but I earned 5000 points. They never replied to my repeated emails, but then did add the yearly fee and purchases have posted at 2 for $1. The cool thing is when a purchase shows up online, the points do too. My $2500 mint purchase had 5000 points post asap. I am pondering this card for the Bigcrumbs Amex 4.5% rebate along with the 4% travel rebate in points for a net 8.5% back. I just need a way to off alot of Amex Gift Cards.

This looks like a very good rewards card. For the people that have this card, does it have any additional benefits? Things like rental car insurance, extended warranty purchase protection, travel insurance, etc? I don't see any of this mentioned on the terms and conditions page for this card.

Thanks for that link it was very helpful.

I'm in! I hope this is a great credit card!

I think you'll like it. Points post with purchase rather than with the close of the statement, so you don't have to wait to see your balance increasing. You'll have lots of flexibility when you decide you want to "cash out" your points. It's been one of my favorites.

I also signed up and got approved for the annual fee World Mastercard.

My wife just signed up and was approved for this card as well and we did the balance transfer for the bonus points.

Hopefully this card turns out to be as good as it looks. From what I've read I'm hoping we can do multiple $400 rewards for larger travel purchases that we're planning.

These are the best Points for the award (if you got the annual fee card then 4% cashback for all these (more if you used travelocity at all during that spend)):

Has anyone redeemed points for a non-flight booking i.e. just a hotel stay for the $400 credit or more?
Also does anyone know the answer to JudyJFLA's question if the credit covers taxes and fees too?
