This is silly.  Why would anyone do this?

I got 2.9 cpp on my last award booked with AA miles. I think that's pretty good for coach seats.

Had I taken the UR/Marriott/SPG/AA+25% route, I would have gotten 1.208 cents per UR.

I'd have been better off just booking through the UR portal with the CSP I had then for 1.25 cpp.

Yes I forgot about that, and if you have the CSR, it'd be 1.50 cpp.

This card was DOA from the beginning.  

It had promise and then fell flat on it's face.  So, Barclay back to the drawing board.

True! you know SOMEONE is going to go for it lol

With a 150 dollar fee with no benefits I find it hard to believe anyone will apply.

You assume no one will, but someone will.  Just like their "Black Card" that some people applied for.

Word is that they may allow existing Arrival/Arrival+ cardholders to PC starting next month.  Yawn.

lol, i'll pass.  Thank you but no thank you.  What were they thinking? for me it would be useless...and no bonus??  I have the PenFed Pathfinder which gives me Global Entry and $100/year credit for $0 AF.
