Best signup bonus ever for: Citi Premier (80K points), Chase IHG Premier WEMC (150K points, 1st year free), and Barclays Wyndham Visa (three cards, 60-90K points each)

7/17/2021

Citi Premier has seen the best signup bonus ever - 80,000 ThankYou points with a $95 annual fee (our value $1,105).
Citi Prestige has been pulled from Citi website and is discontinued to new applications until further notice. There are two possibilities: one is that it will be gone for ever as Citi might exit the fierce high-end card market, and the other is that Citi might be working on a major revamp and will bring it back at some point in the future. We might have to pull it from our Top 10 list pending further confirmation.
Chase IHG Premier WEMC also offers the best ever - 150,000 IHG Rewards points with the 1st annual fee waiver (our value $600).
Barclays Wyndham Visa cards also hit historical high: 60,000 Wyndham Rewards points on earner Visa, 90,000 points on either earner+ Visa or earner Business Visa. Our valuation for these three offers are $470~$625.

Check your email for the huge Barclays promotions for existing cardmembers - up to 60,000 miles/points or $600 cash!

11/14/2020

0 Comments

Throughout this pandemic when many card issuers have been bringing temporary benefits or bonuses to keep their existing cardmembers, Barclays has been quiet, until now.

In the last couple of days, many Barclays cardmembers received a promotional email titled "Double Bonus Opportunity – Earn up to 60,000 miles!" or "...60,000 points!" or "...$600 Uber Cash!" This appears to be a widely targeted offer to all Barclays cards such as Arrivals cards, AAdvantage Aviator cards, JetBlue cards, Hawaiian Airlines cards, Wyndham cards, Uber card: between 11/10/2020 and 1/31/2021, you will earn up to 60,000 miles/points or $600 cash, depending on which card you have (e.g. 10x additional points on everything, up to 10,000 points earned, and additional 50,000 points when you spend a total of $3,000 within this period). This must be the best bonus ever for existing cardmembers since I started writing about credit cards in 2011; usually you need to open a new account and meet the minimum spending requirement to receive a bonus like this; mostly likely the existing cardmembers did receive a similar bonus when they opened the card, and now it is like receiving a second bonus to keep the card.

Best bonus ever for Barclays JetBlue WEMCs: up to 100K points each for JetBlue Plus personal and JetBlue Business

10/30/2020

0 Comments

Barclays has increased the signup bonuses for its two JetBlue World Elite MasterCards (WEMC) to 100,000 points each:

Barclays JetBlue Plus WEMC ($99 annual fee): up to 100,000 points (50,000 points after spending $1,000 within the first 3 months of new account opening and another 50,000 points after spending a total of $6,000 within the first 12 months.
Barclays JetBlue BUSINESS WEMC ($99 annual fee): up to 100,000 points (50,000 points after spending $1,000 within the first 3 months of new account opening and another 50,000 points after spending a total of $6,000 within the first 12 months.
For either card, JetBlue points are worth about 1.44 cents a piece (increased from regularly 1.3 cents), so the signup bonus after considering the first annual fee is $1,340. These are truly amazing deals as historically the best we have seen was 60,000 points for each card.

Barclays credit card protection benefit cut kicked in on November 1, 2019

11/15/2019

2 Comments

Following Citi's drastic devaluation of credit card protection benefits, Barclays has also cut quite a few protection benefits on its credit card portfolio effective November 1, 2019. The following benefits are removed from most of their credit cards:

Trip Delay
Price Protection
Extended Warranty
Purchase Assurance a.k.a, Purchase Protection
Satisfaction Guarantee a.k.a. Return Protection

At the same time, just like other MasterCard issuers, Barclays has added Cellphone Protection to its World MasterCard and World Elite MasterCard. So after the devaluation, Barclays American Airlines Aviator Red Word Elite MasterCard, for example, will offer protection benefits such as Travel Accident Insurance, Travel Cancellation and Interruption, Baggage Delay, Cellphone Protection, Identity Theft, Rental Car Collision Damage Waiver (still secondary), etc. For details of credit card protection benefits, please visit our Protection page.

Overall, the changes are not as bad as Citi's but still very bad for Barclays' cardholders. BTW, American Express also has some major benefit changes on the way (kicking in as of 1/1/2020), which we will cover in the next post. It seems like a trend in the industry, but we will see if other major players such as Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and US Bank will follow suit.

6/25/2019

0 Comments

There are some recent updates as the following and we are also working on updating several other card reviews.

Barclays AA Aviator Business MasterCard now offers a historical high bonus - 75,000 AA miles, with an $95 annual fee.
Barclays AA Aviator Red MaterCard (personal) loses the 10% redeemed miles rebate (up to 10,000 miles per year) and $100 flight discount with $30K spending, and gains an annual $99 companion certificate with $20K spending. Also it offers a fairly decent signup bonus now - 50,000 AA miles + an introductory $99 companion certificate.
Citi AA Platinum Select MasterCard (personal) also loses the 10% redeemed miles rebate, and only gains an additional $25 flight discount (increased from $100 to $125) with $20K annual spending.
Barclays Hawaiian Business MasterCard nows offers a historical high bonus - 70,000 Hawaiian miles plus a one-time 50% companion discount, with a $99 annual fee. The personal version has a slightly less bonus (60K miles + one 50% companion discount), but is still a historical high.
Citi Premier has increased the signup bonus from 50,000 points to 60,000 points; however, the $95 is no longer waived for the first year.

Chase Southwest Visa 60K each (four cards), Barclays JetBlue MasterCard 50K/60K (two cards), US Bank Radisson Visa 120K

5/5/2019

1 Comment

These are the recently updated signup offers:

Chase has increased bonus from 40K to 60K on all three personal Southwest Rapid Rewards (RR) Visa cards and now each of the four Southwest credit cards is offering 60,000 points: personal Southwest RR Plus Visa ($69 annual fee), personal Southwest RR Premier Visa ($99 annual fee), business Southwest RR Premier Visa ($99 annual fee), and personal Southwest RR Priority Visa ($149 annual fee). The signup bonus before the annual fee is considered $840 with our current valuation of 1.4 cents per point.
The $99 annual fee Barclays JetBlue Plus MasterCard is offering 50,000 points (=$700 in our book with the points value of 1.4 cents a piece), increased from the regular 30,000 points. The JetBlue Business MasterCard is offering up to 60,000 points (50K after spending $1,000 within 3 months of new account opening and 10K for adding an employee card and making the first purchase).
U.S. Bank has also increased signup bonus on the Radisson Rewards Premier Visa ($75 annual fee) to a historical high - 120,000 points after $3,000 spent within the first 3 months of new account opening. However, our valuation of Radisson Rewards points is only 0.25 cent a piece, so the 120K bonus is worth $300 in our book.

These miles are not and can not be transferred to frequent flyer miles, unlike those miles earned from Arrival Premier WEMC; instead, they can be redeemed to cover any travel expense at least $100 at 1 cent per mile and you also receive 5% of the redeemed miles back each time. In this way, the signup bonus is worth $735 in travel. This is very similar to Capital One Venture Card's 75K offer.

Barclays AA Aviator Red WEMC now has a 60K bonus after 1st purchase

8/5/2018

Barclays American Airlines Aviator Red WEMC has increased the signup bonus from 50K miles to 60K miles (the best ever offer), still just after your make the first purchase (which is very rare these days). Our review has been updated too to reflect the post- Amex SPG discussions (see below).

The Facts

Annual Fee: $95
Signup Bonus: 60,000 miles after your first purchase within 3 months of new account opening. Historical best bonus of this card: 60,000 miles for limited time in 2017 and 2018.
Application Landing Page
Rewards: 2x American Airlines, 1x everywhere else.
Best Use of AAdvantage miles: AAdvantage is the frequent flyer program of American Airlines, a member of oneworld. AAdvantage miles are generally valuable when redeemed on American or partner flights.
Travel Benefits: (1) Receive 10% of your redeemed miles back, up to 10,000 miles per year. (2) Earn $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars after spending $25,000 each calendar year. (3) First checked bag free for you plus four passengers on your reservation. (4) Priority boarding (Group 1, after first or business class passengers and elite members) on American flights. (5) 25% discount for onboard purchases. (6) Waived foreign transaction fees with an embedded EMV chip.
Standard World Elite MasterCard Benefits: including World Elite Luxury Hotels & Resorts (free breakfasts, upgrades, early check-in, late check-out, and hotel specific amenities), World Elite Air Program (upgrades, savings, or companion tickets, mostly on full fare tickets), World Elite Cruise Program (up to $500 savings), World Elite Tours and Vacations (up to $250 or 5% savings), World Elite Car Rental (savings and elite status with Avis, National, and Sixt), World Elite Chauffeured Car Service (savings and benefits), World Elite Private Jet Program (savings and benefits), MasterCard Airport Concierge (15% savings), and so on.
Other Facts: This product was introduced in early 2015 as a replacement for US Airways MasterCard, with the merger of American Airlines AAdvantage and US Airways Dividend Miles. After the merger until 2017, Citi was the sole issuer of the post-merger American Airlines' credit card products, and Barclays could only convert existing US Airways MasterCard to the new Aviator Cards. However, starting 2017, Barclays began to issue new Aviator Red cards to new applicants and increased the annual fees from $89 to $95 while upgrading it from World MasterCard to World Elite MasterCard and adding the EQD earning feature.

The Math
In the past we used to not recommend this card for general spending, as the old Amex SPG (before August 2018) returned 25% more AA miles than any AA cobranded cards. Effective August 2018, AA cobranded credit cards have become the best way of earning AA miles via credit card general spending.

AAdvantage Aviator Red vs. AAdvantage Aviator Silver: Aviator Silver is $100/year more expensive than Aviator Red, and it comes with three premium features: (1) a 3-2-1 earning structure vs. 2-1 on Red (one additional mile on American, hotels, and car rentals), (2) EQM earning potential with $25K-50K spending, and (3) annual $99 companion certificate with $30K spending. Even if you don't use the last two, you just need to spend $6,250 a year on American airlines, hotels and car rentals to come ahead of the $100 difference in annual fees if you happen to value an AA mile at 1.6 cents a piece like we do, as $6,250 x 1 mile/$ x 1.6 cent/mile = $100. Of course, if your value is different, you can do your own math. The bottom line is that if you are a frequent American flyer, you will most likely find upgrading to Silver Aviator a great deal.

AAdvantage Aviator Red vs. Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select: These two cards are direct competitors - they share many features. Their differences are: (1) Citi's version has a $99 annual fee ($4 more than Barclays') but waives it for the first year; (2) Citi's version offers 2x dining and gas; (3) Citi's version offers Reduced Mileage Awards (saving 7,500 miles on select routes); (4) Citi's version offers $100 flight discount after $20K annual spending; (5) Barclays's version offers 3K Elite Qualifying Dollars after $25K annual spending.

The Conclusion
Barclays designs the replacement of US Airways MasterCard to align with Citi's counterpart. However, if you frequent American or just have big hotels/rental cars spending, you will find upgrading from Aviator Red to Aviator Silver very rewarding.
