It will go March 17th and be replaced with a $50 offer instead.

In other words, no-one here will know! This would be closely-held information in Barclays. For some cards, the offers seem to last ages, such as CSP. As Arrival is competing against that, they may keep it as long as Chase does theirs, but that is just a guess and we have no idea how long Chase will maintain theirs.

+1 I agree with LTL, I hope it does last or even get better since CO Venture just bumped up their sign up bonus to 50000! I plan to app for the arrival in june.

Just saw this higher bonus:

https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/Landing.action?campaignId=1729&cellNumber=30

30K after $5K spend in first three months, 20K more if you spend $20K in first year. Only interesting if you plan to spend that much anyway.

Hmm.. is that really a better offer than the current 40k for only $1k spending in 90 days? If you put $24k on another card wouldn't you net more than 10k points?

Well, it's $20K total in the first year, not $25K, but yes, for all that additional spend you are getting only $110 more. So only for those dedicated to doing the spend on Arrival, and apparently there are some!

2x points is a card that most spend would go on, at least for me, except the usual 5% stuff, so this is not such a bad deal

Ah I thought it was an additional $20k. Thanks for clarifying!
