How is Barclay on PC?

[revjamesl]

I'm thinking of asking for a PC on my Barclay Arrival+ and making it a Sallie Mae Mastercard. I think the rewards on the SM would do better for me than the Arrival. Thoughts? Also, is the SM available in the WEMC? Thanks.

I'm curious as well since I want to PC my Arrival + to a Non AF card.

Sallie Mae comes as a World MC but never heard of a WEMC (anyone?). I've also never heard of anyone being able to PC to Sallie from anything. You can probably PC to no-AF Arrival and maybe even Rewards. Barclays is stubborn with Sallie Mae. Although you can move the limit from your current card to SM once you get approved and just close the old one out. That's what I did with the Rewards MC.

Yep...  I was told by multiple reps last year that I must apply for a SM card... there was no PC to it. 

I did eventually apply in Dec 2014... instantly approved for $4500 with a 666 TU and 16 months of Barclays history with the Apple.  I moved the $2200 Apple limit to SM and then closed the Apple.

I've heard of PC to lesser cards... but not SM.

Speaking of Barclay's PC, how would they be with an Aviator/USAirways PC into the Arrival card?  Anyone tried that?  Absolutely despise my USAirways card.
