Amex ED(P) & Barclays Arrival +

[Skye12329]

So i was wondering what transfer partners can the Amex ED(P) be transferred to? Also they mentioned the points can be used on ticketmaster. Whats the ratio for using or transferring for ticketmaster?

I noticed on the Barclay Website if im understanding this correctly to use your points for travel its kinda like a purchase eraser for travel expenses. Am i understanding this right? If so that makes redeeming points a breeze in my opinion. Do travel or the 10% back count as travel only or hotels also?

AMEX has an extensive list of air and hotel partners. You can find it on the website.

Yes, the Barclays structure is very simple and no blackout dates.  Points/miles can be used for variety of travel.  10% of used points are credited back to your account to be used for future travel.

The Arrival has no blackout dates in the same way as Double Cash, Quicksilver (or ANY cashback card) doesn't have blackout dates.

It's not specific to the ED/P.  It's MR that has the transfer partners.

Don't overlook the relevant web site fo info.  It looks like you'd need to use the Ticketmaster site to see the point cost.
