Keep Both Arrival Cards?

[Changingmantra]

Hello -

Just want some insight here.  I have 2 Barclay Arrival Cards -  1.  Arrival Premier No Annual Fee - $6200 CL -  2. Arrival World $89 annual fee - $7500.  I received the latter just a week ago or so, whereas I have had my Premier card (PCed USA Airways ) for almost 2 years now.  Barcly said that I could combine the CLs and keep the World card - And this is what I was planning to do in a few months.  Doing so will almost double my CL, but I will loose the card history -   Another good thing about combining them is I will have one less card to carry.  Currently, I have 5 cards - more than enough for me.

I know some of the benefits of combining the accounts - but can someone tell me what might be some benefits of keeping the two cards?  Thanks

If Barclay is willing to combine CL I would go that path
