Bye Travelocity Rewards - Hello Arrival World MasterCard!

[injustifiiable]

I kinda saw this coming considering Travelocity was purchased by Expedia last year.

Isn't the minimum limit for a world mastercard 5k?  I got the same mailer, but my limit on this card is a laughable $600.  I have other cards with limits over $20k, but Barclays has never budged on my $600 lol.

So travelocity Amex was their reward structure anything more than the standard arrival world mc and its lackluster rewards?

And no u can get approved for a wmc with a 500 dollar limit lots different than visas more rigid stance on dollar amount limit

Not necessarily, at least not by Barclays' standards.  For instance, there are Arrival (non-plus) WMC cards with CLs < $5K.  Same applies for Sallie Mae and others.  Citi also issues WMCs below the $5K threshold.

Well, looks like I'll be folding this card into my Sallie Mae and when that one dies-off (whenver that is) I'll fold that one into Hawaiian Airlines.

Huh, i guess i don't pay much attention to these sites. Didn't know expedia purchased both orbitz and travelocity. Maybe the expedia credit cards will get a little more exciting then.

Well, it WAS on CNBC.  

Forgot about orbitz, here is an article that gives the two major players, and smaller players entering the field.

Makes it it easier for Amex travel portal to raise prices.

Barclays says my Travelocity points will transfer  1 to 1 to Arrival World MC -- but what will they be worth? There is a whole redemption scheme for the Travelocity co-brand card that favored travel booked ON Travelocity --

1000 points is $10

1 cent per point with arrival.
