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).

They're not even allowing me to downgrade the card to the no AF version. They became really tough
what? why not? that makes no sense.

They said downgrading is considered a "promotion" and my card is not eligible for that promotion. If I want I can apply separately but I can't transfer the points anyways...

So basically I have about 25,000 points and about three days left to cancel the card to get the AF refunded. How do I take advantage of the points, GC?

Dear Shimino1,

Recently we sent you a letter informing you of upcoming changes to your Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ MasterCard® Rewards Program Rules. To continue to provide this best-in-class travel rewards product and to simplify its structure, we’ll be making the following changes, effective November 17, 2015:

Redemption bonus changes
The bonus miles you receive when you redeem for travel statement credits will be reduced to 5% miles back. At the same time, we’ll expand the 5% miles back to ALL redemptions — including travel and cash back statement credits, gift cards and merchandise. That means, every time you redeem miles, you’ll get 5% of your miles back to use toward your next redemption (for example, redeem 20,000 miles and get 1,000 miles back).

Minimum redemption threshold changes
A minimum of 10,000 miles will be needed to redeem toward a qualifying travel purchase of $100 or more and at least 5,000 miles will be needed to redeem for a cash back statement credit.¹ Don’t worry, the value of your miles remains the same.

Additional changes
Purchases classified as Tourist Attractions (including expositions, botanical gardens, craft shows, museums and wineries) will no longer count toward qualifying travel statement credit redemptions.

Complimentary Tripit® Pro subscriptions will no longer be auto-renewed.²

The other features and benefits of your rewards program remain unchanged. Your Barclaycard Arrival Plus MasterCard is designed to be one of the richest travel rewards cards available.

To accept these changes, just keep using your card as you do today. If you prefer to transfer to another product or close your account, contact us on or before November 3, 2015. We’ll refund the unused portion of your annual fee, on a prorated basis, within 4–6 weeks of your request.

Thank you for your business.

Sincerely,

So PGGM works on Arrival card?
That works
But I think it's easier to just do a refundable ticket

Did the no annual fee card always get 5% back on redemptions or its a new thing?
