Our Verdict
If you didn’t receive this offer, don’t worry too much as it’s set to become public on July 1st. I wonder if they will decide to offer some sort of bonus on the Arrival Premier as well, I suspect not but it’d be interested to know what the card uptake is like on that card.
IMPORTANT: Last we know, Barclay’s has a 6/24 rule on the Arrival+ card. It may not be a hard rule and it’s possible something changes since then, but it affected most people who tried applying last time around.
It’s worth reading 26 Things You Should Know About Barclaycard Credit Cards before applying.
