New Barclays Bank Gold Card - $1k signup bonus

Anyone know if there are any special approval requirements for Barclays Bank's Luxury Cards, like minimum income, or requirement to show proof of income?

Not worthwhile to keep after getting the signup bonus anyway, that's why I didn't mention the fee.

Interesting.. It offers similar or less than the Citi prestige/Amex Plat , for a far higher AF.

Seems like the only way to get $1k bonus value is via buying a ticket... Southwest refundable anyone?

Probably same procedure as arrival+ points.

-1 I think. It says you also redeem your points at 2% for a statement credit.

Who's  website is that?

-1 DOUBLE POINTS when redeemed for airfare through our Industry-Leading Rewards Program. 50,000 points will get you a $1,000 ticket on any airline with no blackout dates or seat restrictions

You are correct
Points are worth 2% when redeemed for cash back as a statement credit.
I still don't get the double points for airfare?
And there is no link to Barclays to confirm the details??

It seems to be a marketing gimmic, they're saying that it's double the points value than leading points programs ie Amex MR. I could be wrong
