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).

AOC Federal Credit Union - 3% no FX, no AF, no minimum redemption.  Not geolocked, but not a "simple" app.
Interesting will look into this
Edit:
Cash back rewards are automically paid monthy as a credit. I like cash back as ACH deposit to checking or a check in the mail.

Pretty much same same, no?  It's still less debited from your bank...

I have the card and can confirm it's literally 3% chopped off your statement amount.

I'm still keeping my Barclays Arrival Premier (2.4% cash or 1.43-2.1 miles is converted to a program) to hedge my bets in case the 3% gets nerfed, which wouldn't surprise me.)

PSA: This worked for me, not sure it works every time, but definitely worth a try!

I wanted an option to downgrade my card to the no AF version but getting a downgrade proved virtually impossible after trying numerous times. I cancelled the card a few days before the AF posted, as it wasn't worth it for me.
2 weeks later I saw another few DPs that it is possible to downgrade, so I decided to reopen my card to try my luck again and play the HUCA game. A few days after reopening I received the cardmember agreement for the "new" card. I realized that the AF is stated as $0. I thought it was a mistake but after waiting a few weeks no AF has posted. I asked for a new cardmember agreement and it still said zero.
To my understanding, their system posted it as a brand new card, even though it was just a reopened one. As a brand new card the first year is free.

Are you going to try your luck and see if perhaps the signup bonus offer was also reattached (via spend, not calling the bank!!!) ?

Hmm Good question won't lose to much since this card has good earning rate on non bonus spend.
But I highly doubt it 😄
Will definitely have someone (you) try it for the team 😉

UPDATE:
Latest statement has a interesting note regarding the waved AF
Can someone check their own statement if they had such note?

Anyone have any luck recently downgrading? Just called and they said that they have nothing to offer. Worth HUCA?

IME Barclays has been stingy in last couple of years in offering NO AF downgrading options.

If I make a payment on the statement closing date will it reflect on the new statement right away?

New statement as in the next month ? Or new statement as in the new paper statement for the past month?
