Grandfathered Priceline Cards To Be Devalued (No More 3.3% On All Purchases)

For sometime old cardholders of the Priceline VIP card have been able to effectively earn 3.3% cash back on all purchases. Unfortunately this is coming to an end with all cardholders being forced product changed to a new card on 7/2/2025. The following e-mail was sent out:

We have exciting news. Your Priceline Rewards™ Visa® Card is changing to a Priceline VIP Rewards™ Visa® Card. That means your points-earning potential just got bigger.
Beginning on 7/2/2025, you will now:

  • Earn 5X points on all Priceline bookings instead of 5X points on Name Your Own Price bookings and 2X points on all other Priceline bookings.
  • Earn 2X points on gas and restaurant purchases including delivery services instead of 2X points on Choose Your Own Rewards.
  • Earn 1X point on all other purchases.
  • Be eligible for up to a $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee credit each anniversary year if you spend $10,000 or more on purchases*.
  • Automatically receive VIP Gold status at Priceline.com that gives you more access to great deals and priority customer service.

We’re also making a few changes when you redeem points beginning on 7/2/2025:

  • You will now redeem points for statement credits at a 1% value. For example, 2,500 points can be redeemed for a $25 statement credit toward a Priceline purchase or reservation.
  • (To ensure you’ll have time to redeem points on eligible Priceline purchases of $25 or more posted within the last 120 days at the 1.5% value, we will honor the 1.5% redemption value through September 2, 2025.)
  • And the 10% Redemption Bonus on eligible priceline.com or travel purchases will no longer apply.

All other existing terms as defined in your Cardmember Agreement and subsequent amendments will remain unchanged.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call us at 866-951-1440, or contact us by logging in to your account online or in the Barclays US App**.

Thanks for being a valued Priceline VIP Rewards™ Visa® Cardmember.

Obviously this sucks for existing cardholders, although I’m somewhat surprised it last this long anyway. You can view the current best credit cards for everyday purchases by clicking here.
