I'm thinking of applying for the Barclaycard Arrival Plus.
Does anyone have this card and what was your SL?
Thanks,
UM

Many of us (with some exceptions) don't think of this card as a "keeper", get it for the first year, especially with the increased bonus, but you almost certainly don't want to pay the AF for the following year. So if you want the CL, you need another Barclays card to transfer it to. Or you MAY be able to downgrade to the Arrival, but YMMV on that
Have it with the original $17.5 CL.
SL 4K, gonna try and use the 'miles', then cancel before the AF starts.
Approved for the Barclay arrival plus back in June of 2013 with a 10k limit, it's grown over two HP Clis to 25k and then went to 29k on its own. Second Barclay is the regular arrival and was approved at 25k to start in October of 2014, and oddly enough got a 4k CLI all on its own the same month the arrival plus did. I had very heavy usage on it though due to it being 0% for 12 months.
$15k on mine. I'm in the same camp as longtimelurker. I'll be closing mine after I get the next miles and hit the next milestone and my next redemption. The AF doesn't outweigh the card benefits for my purchasing and (personal|work) travel style.
SL was $5K, they increased on their own to $10K, then $15K, then they just CLD'd me all the way down to $1,650 as a result of "too many inquiries."
I have 2% utilization over about $120K in revolving credit, $160K income, just paid off a car loan and was shopping for one, just was looking for a refinance of my mortgage...
I'll be closing the thing.
