<\/a><\/p>\nSo you signed up for the Barclay’s Arrival Card after reading my post here<\/a>. Awesome, thank you (since I get a kick back from it. BTW, I have no idea who signs up, so if you do, let me know so I can say thank you personally). You’ve also met the spending requirement to get you the nice 40,000<\/strong> points. Great!<\/p>\n Now, you might be asking “How do I use these points?, & What even qualifies as a “travel purchase?”<\/em><\/p>\n Since most of my readers are fairly new to miles and points, I like to recommend this card because it has a ton of flexibility, no black out dates, and redemption is fairly simple. Let’s go over those questions:<\/p>\n 1. \u00a0How do I use these points?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n That was the easy part. Now comes the more important question:<\/p>\n 2. What qualifies as a “Travel Purchase” to Barclays?<\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s the non-published Flyertalk community guinea pig items of what does and does NOT qualify as a Barclays card travel purchase:<\/p>\n ============================================================================<\/p>\n Successful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Successful – Plus Only<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Unsuccessful<\/span>\u00a0(anything under $25 cannot be reimbursed)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
