Good morning everyone, I have a short post today regarding my Barclays Arrival Credit Card. A few weeks ago, I wrote Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card: Redeem 2,500 Points for $25 Travel Statement Credit (Only Toward $89 Annual Fee). After redeeming 2,500 Barclays Arrival Miles for a $25 travel statement credit toward the $89 annual fee, I called Barclays to downgrade to the no annual fee Barclays Arrival Credit Card. The new credit card arrived a few days ago, along with the following letter. I can earn 1,000 bonus Barclays Arrival Miles after making my first purchase. That sounded like a no brainer, so I made a $25 travel purchase.
The 1,000 Barclays Arrival Miles should post on my next credit card statement.
If you like your Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card, it is probably not worth downgrading to the no annual fee Barclays Arrival Credit Card just for 1,000 bonus Barclays Arrival Miles. But if you are not in love with your Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card and want to keep your Barclays Arrival Miles alive, why not downgrade, get an extra 1,000 Barclays Arrival Miles, and keep your stash of Barclays Arrival Miles alive?
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone.
Are the miles valued differently for the two cards? TIA
Same value, 1 cent per point when redeemed for travel.
