Barclays 10,000 pt/$100 bonus

mrbuilder — Sat, 16 May 2015 13:31:30 GMT

So apparently Barclays is offering a $100 statement credit if I run $500 through the card in the first three mos

I was wondering if I ran a couple car notes through it, would that suffice or would it have to be actual point of sale purchases??

And how did you receive the offer? Had the card been active? Unused?

It's only for opening a new account, I know the NFL card is offering this, I got it in March, some other Barclays cards may also offer it. As for the OP's question, I paid my 2nd half property taxes online & it qualified for the bonus. I could have spent $500 in 3 months by charging everything to the card, but I get 2% rewards by using different cards for different categories and the property taxes was a quick & easy way to get the spend bonus for an expense already in the budget.

Barclay's offers 10k points if you PC to the no AF arrival card from another barclaycard (not in the arrival family)

I made a $500 tax lien payment on my NFL card to satisfy the spend.

This type of question is asked often, and I don't understand why! Why would Barclays or bank X care if you went to a store and paid $500, or if you paid a merchant via another route? The merchant charges the card either way, and Barclays get the swipe fee.

How do run car notes through your credit card?

Not necessarily true! I PC'd from Rewards MC to Arrival (No AF) and they only offered me 1,000 miles after first purchase. I got very lucky with another 5,000 miles after calling back a day later and questioning a few things. 1,000 miles is common from what I've researched and read. 10,000 miles is not common. YMMV!

when they offer you 1000 miles you ask for more. they're not gonna give you something that costs them more money if you don't ask for it. Haha.
