Barclay Rewards Card

kd081708 — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:38:11 GMT

So my first statement just generated. I used my rewards points to get $30 in statement credits. It took about 2 days to update but the the $30 was deducted from my current balance. Gotta love rewards cards! This is my first rewards card of any type so I am so excited to be getting these types of benefits! lol

Which Barclaycard? Hopefully it's not the Arrival With the Arrival, if you opted for cash back, you're basically giving up half of your points. For instance, if you opted for $30 cash back, you really could have gotten $60 back if you used it on travel instead. I just redeemed 31,500 miles to get $315 credit on an airline ticket I purchased Very cool! Howver, had I opted for cash back, I would have only received half that

Congrats by the way :-) I have Barclaycard too.

The Rewards card has been great for me. They gave me my biggest limit, and within 4months have gotten back about 100 bucks. I only have a 750 limit, so I have to pay my balance a couple of times a month. If you pay it more than twice, they'll sometimes hold you available balance even though they've received payment.

Love my Barclay Card.

Got 15 months 0%APR when I got it. They bumped my CL up to $7500 within 90 days of activating it from $4500 without my having to ask.

Double points for gas, groceries and utility bills (including Roadrunner and my cell bill) which is mostly what I use it for anyway.

Liked mine so much the wife got one too.

I don't think the Barclay Rewards MC gets enough respect compared to AMEX, Discover,Chase,Citi,etc. on these forums. I actually like my Barclay card better than all my other cards you see i my signature....Go Barclays!!!

Basically the AF version earns 2% (or 2.2%) on everything, when you redeem the points for travel. And they have a liberal interpretation of what counts as a travel expense. Also, a large signup bonus.
