I've had a Barclay's USAirways Mastercard for as long as I can remember. I kept it because I like the $99 companion pass I got rewarded with each year just for holding the card. But now they are getting rid of that program and I have better rewards options, I think. The storefront is a far-cry from what Chase, Amex and Discover offer. The merger with AA is interesting, but I just don't see myself using the card much anymore.
What I would like to do is apply for the Arrival card, and move my USAirways line over. Then before the annual fee is due open a Sallie Mae card and move the potential Arrival line over.
Anyone know if that is possible? My TU score is at 710. It was at 630 9 months ago, but I paid off a large debt and it shot right back up. I just got a new Discover card a week ago. How soon should I apply for an Arrival card, if at all? Or are there benefits to US Air I'm not seeing?
