CashForward

  • Spend $750 or more in new purchases each month in May, June, July and get a $50 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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
