Re: Barclays Arrival Card....

The Arrival was too tempting and I have all the rewards cards I needed except a good travel card. I don't want to push Chase after just getting the Freedom a few weeks ago.

 

Jumped out of the garden and approved for Arrival World MasterCard $5k. I got the 10-day review email last night. I called analyst backdoor number today and approved in 5 minutes over the phone.

 

I got the 10 day wait (probably for past BK). My TU report is in optimal shape right now since most of my new cards are not reporting yet and only Chase hit TU last month on their double-pull. Time to garden for a minimum of 6 months. I haven't checked TU FICO, but I'm at < 3% utilization with only 2 recent TU inquiries (one of which was barclay in February when I requested CLI on my old Barclay card from 2011).

I'm in Anchorage. I'd definitely get the Alaska Airlines BOA card ! Free companion ticket once a year, 3 miles per dollar on Alaska Airline purchases, etc. No free out-of-state check-in's or anything like that but if you're part of their Club 49 all of that is taken care of anyways, Smiley Very Happy.
