Barclays Arrival Rewards Boost question

b_diddy · ‎10-03-2014

I want to buy a new Mac with my Barclays Arrival ... does anyone know if you get the same Rewards Boost points in-store as you would buying online through the link to Apple?

Sorry, found the answer to my question at the bottom of the FAQs:

"No, you must click through the site retailer links to earn rewards. This is how we are able to confirm your purchase."

Actually, I think you can do a purchase online and in-store pickup. Apple has a 2-point "boost" (there are some exclusions that you can see at the Rewards Boost listing for Apple).

I've been doing that with purchases at Lowe's and PetSmart. Ordering online through the portal for in-store pickup.

Chase Sapphire Preferred $32k; CapitalOne Venture $30k; Chase Slate $30k; Barclaycard Arrival Plus $25k; Wells Fargo Visa $25k; Amex EveryDay $25k; Barclaycard Ring $15.5k; Lowes $10k; Barclaycard Apple Financing $9.5k; Best Buy $7k; Chase Amazon Rewards Visa $6.5k; misc. store cards

EQ 822; TU 820; EX 819
