What to do with Arrival+?

[Jaylima91]

So I am not as happy anymore with the Arrival+ but I don't want to close a $13k CL I have with them. What should I do that would be comparable? I do want to replace it with a WEMC product even if it's not with Barclays. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

The arrival plus can be a great card if you have a big yearly spend. 

This depends on many things. What is your monthly spend (break it down to general/gas/groceries/restaurants/travel)? What are your 3 08 scores? What cards to you currently have?

I would say you would be best to find a better rewards card with a sign on bonus, and PC the arrival+ to a Ring. That way you always have the option to do no fee BTs at 8%.

I had my cards in my Sig but I erased them by mistake a while ago. I am mainly into travel cards. I have 720s fico scores. I have the following cards:

Amex Platinum - NPSL
Amex PRG - NPSL
CSP - $16k
BofA Cash Rewards - $20k
Arrival+ - $13k
And the rest is maybe about 3 other CC with about $10k combined CL

Would you say the Citi Premier is a good candidate? Obviously it is a pretty subjective question but just general feedback would be nice.

My AAoA is about 9 months with the oldest TL being 1 year and 9 months old. Hopefully this helps a little more

You've already got cards for MR and UR. Premier would add TYP to the mix (assuming one of your small lines isn't something that earns them). Venture would be more comparable to A+ if you basically like the set up. Good bonus and generally an awesome SL. 

AFA what to PC the A+ to, that depends. I haven't yet paid attention to what accounts are possible for PC. Mine will have it's anniversary the end of March, so I'll have to figure it out then. 

Personally, I think the Premier on it's own seems pretty blah (except I think it may get 3% on restaurants?). I'd get it if I were getting a Prestige and I wanted it just for the bonus. But I stopped deluding myelf into thinking I did that kind of travel.

After-bonus buyer's remorse?

Well even before the nerf the Arrival+ was difficult to justify after the bonus for many people, and now with the reduced value of 2.1% back it is basically pointless unless you spend a ton (and I do mean a ton).
