Is the Barclays Arrival card a thing of the past? It is not on the website any longer and when I called Barclays they told me the card is going away.
YES CRS confirm today that they will be getting rid of the arrival+. Some kind of Notification before the end of the month. Still a $89 annual fee. Instead of 10% Back it will be 5% now. When redeeming your points for travel now redemptions start at 10k miles for $100 toward all or a portion of your travel purchases made in the last 120 days.
5k for statement $25.

I called and they confirmed that they are relaunching the Arrival + sometime in mid July. Didn't ask about the Arrival card though

Well, these upcoming changes to the Arrival+ benefits pretty much means that I will be downgrading to the non-AF Arrival and sending this one to the sock drawer. I was quite happy using this for non-category spending but other competing cards offer the same / slightly shorter list of benefits post-change. As a cardholder of more than 1 year, these changes will be kicking in September for me. Uggghhh....

I can't believe that I will have to leave the Garden for this

Agreed - I won't be acting (applying/cancelling) on anything until I see an official announcement. I will start researching cards and taking a look at my spending trends. I spend a medium amount per month but it still requires some creative planning when it comes to meeting the larger bonus requirements of some cards.

The changes have been documented. Instedad of 10% back on travel redemptions its 5%. No more tripit which I didn't use but here is the thing that makes the card even less valuable. You have to redeem for a min of 10000, so no redemptions less than a $100. So now its onlya 2.1% back card. Not worth the AF IMO and I will be downgrading or looking to see what I can PC it into if anything. Anyone know what it can be PC'd into? Also, just saw the CSP 3x dining bonus on first friday of month is going away at end of year as well. Seems like lots of cards are cutting benefits.
