According to an unconfirmed but credible source, the Barclay Arrival Plus card will be closed to new applications today, June 6, 2019. We’re unsure about the future of this card, but if you’re interested in the all-time-high, 70,000-point welcome bonus, today may be your last chance.

Have you ever found a great travel deal but didn’t have the points or miles you needed to book? Today’s post covers a strategy you can use to book a flight now and redeem miles for a big discount up to four months later. Even better, if you play your cards right, you can earn up to $700 worth of miles between the time you book your trip and redeem your rewards.

Arrival Miles earned with the Barclaycard Arrival Plus^® World Elite Mastercard^® can be used to erase any travel purchase greater than $100 charged to the card. Discount airfare, train tickets, ferries, cruise charges, Airbnb, purchases from online travel agents and discount travel websites — all can be wiped with your Arrival Miles.

The Barclaycard Arrival^® Plus World Elite Mastercard^® offers something very few cards offer: the ability to earn 2X miles per dollar spent on all purchases. Miles that can be redeemed as a statement credit against almost any conceivable travel expense including airfare, hotels, vacation rentals, trains, buses, car rental, campgrounds, ski lodges, and much more.

The Barclaycard Arrival^® Plus World Elite Mastercard^® offers unique value. While most travel-rewards cards focus on transfer partners, perks, and bonus earning categories to entice new cardholders, the Arrival Plus provides simplicity and flexibility with almost endless redemption options.

Following days of speculation, both Chase and Barclays lifted the lid on much-anticipated rewards cards this week, announcing details such as bonuses, earning ratios, transfer partners, and more. While neither card is a keystone release, the new cards replace/augment two much-loved rewards cards that held treasured places in the wallets of many a points and miles fan.

Barclays has overhauled its co-brand Uber credit card, revamping the bonus categories and changing the rewards the card earns from straight cash back to Uber Cash. Catch our review of the card for all the details.

The signup bonus on the AAdvantage^® Aviator^® Red World Elite Mastercard^® is 50,000 bonus miles. This 25% increase over the previous 40,000 mile standard bonus offers some solid value for the card especially if you consider that the bonus miles are awarded after the first billing statement where you make just one transaction, has an annual fee of only $95, and is also eligible for the top tier discounts with AA reduced mileage awards.

Barclaycard has brought back the excellent signup bonus they had at the end of 2016 on their Wyndham Rewards Visa Card. Both versions of the cards have had their signup bonuses increased as part of this current offer.

The Hawaiian Airlines^® World Elite Mastercard^® from Barclays is currently offering a limited-time welcome offer of 60,000 miles, enough for round-trip flights to Hawaii from anywhere in the US or multiple intra-island Hawaiian flights.
