Barclaycard Arrival and Arrival+

[Anonymous]

I went to login to my Barclaycard account today and noticed on their website that the Arrival and Arrival+ was no longer available to apply for on their website. I called customer service and they said that they were not taking applications on the phone however that you could still apply at another site that Barclaycard uses to help people find the right card for them. This seems interesting to me.

Very strange since Arrival+ is kind of their travel flagship card...

They are still here. Not sure why not on their main site.

seems fishy

My guess is it has something to do with non-compete agreements they have with their partner airline cards.

I can't even find where their main site is anymore. Anyone have that link?

hopefully your link is right and your iphone autocorrect didn't mess it up

That is very interesting.  I wonder if it means they are introducing replacements for those products, and if so if they will be more appealing than the current offerings.

Ahhh, what to do.  I'm planning to apply in about 3 weeks when I exit the garden.  Would hate to miss the opportunity to get an Arrival+ if it goes away, but also would hate it if something better comes out.

If they were going to replace, I would guess they would take them down from the other site listed above.    

Some of their cards, e.g. Sallie Mae have never been on the barclays site, but I agree the disappearance of these non-co-branded cards is a little odd.
