Barclaycard has sent out some targeted spending offers on some of their credit cards for May onwards. Let’s take a look!
American Airlines
- Spend $750 or more in new purchases each month in May, June, July and earn 10,000 bonus miles. Hat tip to MoreSun.
CashForward
- Spend $750 or more in new purchases each month in May, June, July and get a $50Â bonus. Hat tip to reader Jay. With the 1.5% cash back it works out to be 3.72% back if you spend exactly $750 each month.
Hawaiian

Final Thoughts
I’m sure you’ll see similar spending deals across all Barclaycard cards (feel free to share them in the comments below). Usually these are sent out around your card anniversary so you have to pay the annual fee, but the CashForward card has no annual fee so that’s interesting.
My wife received the offer of 10k points after $750 in each of Feb, Mar, Apr back in Jan. We did $1k each month and got 16k out of it. You get 2x points on the choice card, which are nice for Europe.
Oh, we’re still waiting for the bonus to post, will reply back when it does.
How long did it take for bonus to post?
Sorry, it took a while. Close of the next statement after the statement that I completed the spending in. So it was somewhere in late May.
Could someone offer an estimate of the value of 10K Jetblue miles?
In some circumstances I’ve found JetBlue points to be worth as much as 2 cpp or even more, but it’s quite inconsistent. For me they’re usually worth between 1.5-1.8 cpp, so say around 1.5 cpp. (They can also be worth less.) The number of points needed is tied to the cash price but not in a way I can understand.
On my Hawaiian card.very hard to redeem point.very junk card .called and cancel the card.very tough bank to deal with.
WTH. No A+. POS…
Agreed. AF posted to my A+, called about refund or bonus to offset it: nope. Also they won’t let me downgrade.
And they nerfed the Sallie Mae card. Barclays, you are useless.
DP
I was able to get a similar offer (5000 points for spending $1000) by calling into them and asking if there were any promotions available on my card in February.
was worth about $75 according to TPG’s valuations, so I went for it.
Haven’t seen them post yet, but you may be able to get this offer even if not targeted by calling in
On my Aviator Red card
I got this offer yesterday for my Aviator card I got in January 2017.
Earn 5,000 bonus Hawaiian Miles by spending $500 or more each calendar month in May, June, and July.
Added, thanks
Any bonus for Arrival+?
Does the cash forward card requires you to spend $750 for each month (for a total of $750×3) or $750 in total within those 3 months?
Each month
I was emailed the $750 AA offer. I’ve had the card since 1/17, made a total of about $120 worth of purchases in the first 2 months and then haven’t touched it since. No prior relationship with Barclay until this card.
So weird. I’ve had mine since 1/03, placed about $1,000 worth of purchases in the first 2 months, have used it since, have a prior relationship with the bank, and did NOT receive the offer haha
So odd
Ditto, but I put less than $50 on the card.
