DP about approval: Supposedly the Arrival Plus has a 5 or 6/24 rule.  I was at 6/24 when I got approved for the card, so it looks like the Arrival Premier isn't subject to that rule.

Just wanted to post a DP regarding transfer times:
I transferred 7K Barclays miles to Qantas (for 5K Qantas points).  The transfer only took 10 hours, which is faster than Citi!

It’s not (as) hard and fast rule, like chase.

The miles transfer option seems to have completely disappeared.  Does anyone know if this is temporary?  There was no notice on past statements at all.

After driving them crazy over the past couple of weeks and finally getting a rep who understood the issue (regular reps had no clue Barclays ever offered the ability to transfer and couldn't comprehend the issue), the miles transfer option was restored.

Along with it a massive JAL devaluation: now it takes 11500 Barclays to get 5000 JAL, in other words only 0.87 JAL per dollar!

Also, China Eastern and Malaysian are gone, but no loss there.
