Barclay PC went through painlessly

I opened Barclays in September with a $2K limit and I guess I must be off of their AA list during the 1st 6 months that everyone speaks about becasue they gladly did a transfer from my Apple to the Rewards card....Yayyyy!!!!

 

I mean I have opened so many accounts (like 8 or 9) since I opened them that I am surprised they haven't reacted based on many of the threads here discussing AA.

 

The csr told me that I can apply for the new rewards card to get the max rewards of 2500 points plus the special 0% BT for six months.  Or he can just PC and get 1000 points and not be eligible for the special rates.  Well I didn't want to press my luck so I just went for the rewards card.  They really made the process sooooo easy and I am happy.

 

Okay so now for the points.  It says 2 points for everyday spending but I can't wrap my head around how this compares to Discover IT at 1%.  I mean which rewards structure is better on the rewards, Barclays or Discover IT?

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Yes I PC'ed from Apple card to Rewards card, but the rest of what you said I'm not clear on.

Well they must be changing their stance on it because a PC from an Apple card was near impossible.

Oh okay I get it now.  Sorry I didn't understand it the first time.  But yea they did the PC from the Apple to Rewards MC and even asked if I wanted to try for a CLI with an hp.  I said no I will be okay with just the transfer for now so I can get the rewards.  I didn't even know that this wasn't possible.  I just picked up the phone and asked them...LOL.

 

They told me that it takes 3 business days for the transfer to complete and I should get a new card within a few weeks.  So I was cool with that!!
