points can be used for the AF.

Statement credits: If you have the exact number of points or more required to wipe away a charge, you can wipe away the entire charge.  If you have fewer than the exact number of points, you can only redeem in 2500 point/$25 increments.

Example: If you have an $87 charge, and 9000 points, you can wipe away the entire $87 charge.  If, however, you only have 8000 points, you can only wipe away $75 worth of the $87 charge (2500 point/$25 increments x 3).

The 10K minimum is only for travel.  Other cash back statement credit redemptions start at 5,000 miles for $25.

my DW applied for the this cc but was auto denied because she currently has the no AF version of this card.  When we called recon they were touch and said no saying that we had previously downgraded the arrival plus to the no AF arrival in 2014!  Is this a common experience?  any  tips, suggestions etc... how to approach and further escalate

and I thought only the other banks(amex, citi, chase etc..) have gotten tougher here comes Barclays?

Was her application denied or rejected? I am guessing the latter because that was my experience. Just ask them to resubmit for you. If the former, HUCA.

rejected but when I called recon they did not want to consider anything

what happened in the end with your application? they resubmitted it for you whom did you contact?

I know Dan has mentioned this card in some recent posts; If there is enough DP perhaps he should suggest before applying for this card to close the no AF version arrival or move the entire credit line to another Barclays card if applicable for better chances and less hassle?

I have had the application rejected as duplicate even with no open accounts! (I had a fee arrival which was then downgraded to no fee which was then closed). Weird stuff. They were able to apply for me manually over the phone. Regular recon rep.

after speaking to more reps it appears they consider arrival and arrival plus as 2 different products so they will auto reject an application for arrival plus if you have arrival so plan accordingly!

not sure exactly what you mean but tried for over 30 minutes they said if I have regular arrival I cannot get approved for arrival plus as they regard it as same product.  Only option would be to close regular arrival and then reapply or reconsider existing application.  cant have both or cant have it all as some say :(

Close the stupid no fee arrival what do you gain by keeping it open?

I might but wanted both.  Assumed they are different products.  I would have to to also use the existing points or lose them.

why would I want to retain the no fee one? one advantage is that you can use your points for small travel charges($25 and up) unlike arrival plus where you can only redeem points for $100 or more travel purchase
