I got approved with 10K CL World MasterCard last month, on my search EMV chip option on this card, I found a long thread about this in barclaycard forum, and one guy mention he got world elite mastercard version, I called barclay to ask about upgrade to elite version, CSR was clueless.
I think a lot forum member got this card, anyone been approved or upgrade to WEMC version of this card?

I only have the World MC version, not the elite.....in fact, this is the first I'd heard of this. However, IMO your best bet to get answer on this (unless another forum member chimes in beforehand) is to contact the backdoor analyst number on Monday (unless their closed due to the holiday, then try on Tuesday). I agree, as nice as their CSRs have been IME, I've run into a clueless one or two.....kinda frustrating....
Good luck....hope it works out for you!
Interesting question. Barclays has a few World Elite Mastercards but I have not seen or heard that it exists for the Arrival. Maybe it is by invitation only....anyway if you find out please post your findings as I would love to know too
mxp114 has the Arrival WEMC according to his signature.
Based on what others have said (not too sure on the specifics myself), Barclays conducts reviews of accounts from time to time, and may upgrade customers during the process. I am guessing it has to do primarily with the amount of spend you put on the card, on top of income and other credit related factors.
You can always try asking CS to see if you are eligible for an upgrade.
I just was approved for the Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard. I have TU of 661. At first was denied due to short history but called and they approved me for CL of 3000. Really great card and great customer service. If you can get/upgrade this card, I would definitely recommend it!
in your own signature, where your arrival card is, thats the actual ELITE version. or go to their website and its on the main page.

I recently applied directly for the Elite and got approved for 4k. I believe the difference is that you can earn more points at a faster rate but have an annual fee vs the standard card does not.

My card it was already a World Elite when I received it. I looked on the back of the card and under the silver globe it says World Elite.

What you are thinking about is the difference between the "Arrival plus" and the "Arrival" Based on credit there is a World Elite version for the Arrival Plus that has the shiny silver mastercard logo rather than the red/yellow combo. I don't remember what the benefits are to the world elite though sorry!
Always a good idea to make note of the dates. This thread was made in Feb, a time when only a handful of people had Arrival WE. As of May 15th, every new applicants is approved for WE and all existing accounts will get upgraded by the end of 2014.
