In case you missed it, Barclaycard is currently offering a sign up bonus of 50,000 points on their Arrival Plus card. This is worth $525 towards travel expenses. A lot of readers had recently applied when the bonus was at 40,000 points and were hoping to get matched – unfortunately they were told that this wasn’t possible. But if you ask to speak/escalate to a supervisor then it is possible to get matched. It’s not a sure thing that they will match you to this offer, but it is possible.
Having a history with Barclaycard and recent spend on any existing cards seems to help (as it does with most things when it comes to Barclaycard). Please feel free to share your matching experiences in the comments.
