Redeem Barclays Arrival Points for Travel Statement Credits

Share this post

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  During my March App-O-Rama, I was approved for the Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card that offered 50,000 Barclays Arrival Points after spending $3,000 in 3 months.  After meeting the minimum spending requirement and receiving the sign up bonus, I wanted to redeem my Barclays Arrival Points for travel statement credits.  In this post, I will show you how to redeem Barclays Arrival Points for travel statement credits.  First things first, log into your Barclays online account and go to your Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card.  Then click the Rewards & Benefits Center button to start redeeming your Barclays Arrival Points.

Go back to the Rewards & Benefits Center and click the Start Using my Miles button.

Click the first redemption offer – Travel Statement Credits – and click the Redeem Now button.

On this screen, you will see all your eligible travel purchases.  All travel purchases must be $100 or more and have been made in the last 120 days.  All other non-qualifying purchases will not be shown on this screen.  My 3 Southwest Airlines tickets and a hotel reservation are all eligible for travel statement credits.

I clicked the Redeem Now link next to my $100 Southwest Airlines ticket to redeem 10,000 Barclays Arrival Points.

    I have around $600 worth of points and recently made a single purchase for $900. Is it possible to remove $600 of my ticket now and remaining $300 of the ticket later when I have enough points but before 120 days of the transaction?

      Yes, I believe that is correct, but I have not tried that myself. Does someone with more Barclays Arrival Point redemption experience know the answer?

        Looks like one can redeem against a transaction only one time.

        I found this condition in the redemption page

        Please note, only qualifying travel transactions made in the last 120 days will display, and you may only redeem against a transaction one time.

    How easy it is to churn this card? I have around 7320 miles and am wondering if I should redeem for statement credit at $36 and close the card so I can open another one? Don’t see a reason to pay the annual fee unless I missed something?
