Anyone have an estimate of what barclay miles are worth? (ie: for selling etc)

How often do you rinse and repeat until they start flagging your actions? Has anybody gotten flagged to stop abusing this? Which other airlines besides SW and Delta can we do this with? TIA

You can get many refundable tickets on Expedia. Just click on refundable tickets by filter.

Are refundable tickets used to get points or as a way to meet the spend?

In both cases, it must be that when the charge is credited back to your account you keep the benefit of your original spend, but can someone confirm?

Here it was being discussed as a way to claim the points.

Anyone tried churning this card (or any Barclaycard ) how long did you wait from the first time you were approved? did you close the first 1 first??

I'd guess anyone who can answer this one will have several stars next to their name.

AJK?

Dan?

I have seen this asked before, can't locate it now. If I don't use the Arrival card after meeting the initial spend will they offer me a bonus to keep using it or is that only on the other Barclays products?

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but I just booked a RT Southwest Anytime fare. This is the most recent DDF information I could find on this still working. Of course that is well over a year ago. I just figured I'd throw it out there JIC there is some issue with this working nowadays, as I'm still within 24 hours of ticket purchase. Any recent confirmations on this method still working smoothly?

You will be fine, I usually do hotels, they are less hassle and almost always refundable.

Do you guys wait for statement to close before cancelling refundable, or boom boom cancel it, i did this in combination with the ritz travel credits so wondering if i should wait for statement close to make it seem more natural or no need?

CS keeps on telling me, I can't downgrade my arrival plus, to the regular arrival, bec. the option isn't showing up. Already tried 3 times, and no go.
Will huca help here ?

3 supervisors already, all told me the same thing. Claim I'm not eligible for any downgrades.

Tried that already 8X before I started with the downgrading option.

Amazing how I call today, and after getting in touch with a manager, all of sudden they were able to downgrade the card.
