    Barclays Arrival Premier Closed to New Applicants

    Barclays arrival premier
    The Barclays Arrival Premier card was introduced in April this year and it was Barclays’ first credit card that had a system of transferable points – the the most desirable type of rewards system in the credit card world. With a transferable points system, points can be transferred to airline partners and normally can be redeemed for far greater value than points that have a set value (1c per point in the case of the Barclays Arrival+, which is still available). Transfer partners included Etihad, Eva Air and Qantas, plus several more.

      The New Amex Gold Card is Here! + Rose Gold Limited Edition

      Amex Gold and Rose Gold designs
      Over the past couple of weeks multiple leaks have hinted at something quite incredible happening to the American Express Gold Card. First we had cardholders see 4x point earning rates on US restaurants and supermarkets show up in their accounts, and then after a couple of hours these rates disappeared (to be honest I think they did this on purpose to get people talking). Then we had leaked card images of the new metal cards, with a new rose gold variety, and many leakes about the revamped benefits of the card, supposedly being launched October 4th.

        We reported earlier this year on a new credit card that doesn’t rely on your credit score to assess your application for the card, but instead looks at personal financial data such as your income and your spending. This card is Petal Card. Previously invitation only, Petal Card is now open to the public and you can apply for it with literally no credit score and credit history whatsoever.

          New Amex Rose Gold LEAKED IMAGES Surface

          Gold and rose gold mock up
          American Express is not very good at keeping things hush hush, it seems. A few days ago they accidentally added new benefits to the Premier Rewards Gold card that in theory shouldn’t go live until 10/04/2018, and now images of the two new designs of the Gold Card, one gold and one rose gold, appear to have been leaked.

            US Bank Releases Business Card with 48 Bonus Categories

            US Bank Business Leverage Visa Signature
            US Bank recently released a new business credit card called the US Bank Business Leverage Visa Signature. The card features 48 potential bonus categories of which card holders will earn 2x on two categories out of the 48. The card also features 1 extra point per dollar spent, up to 100,000 points in the first year, instead of a sign up bonus, so that is 3x on the bonus categories in the first year. The card charges an annual fee of $95, waived for the first year.

              Earn 10% Back at Shoprite with Chase Freedom

              Freedom shoprite bonus
              I received an email this morning from Chase introducing a new promotion they are running, where they are allowing Freedom card holders to earn 10% back at Shoprite in October. Q4 5% earning categories for the Freedom card are Chase Pay, department stores and wholesale clubs. So you can get 5% when using Chase pay at Shoprite for the whole quarter. Ordinarily you wouldn’t be able to earn double cash back (5% for Chase pay and 5% for another category at the same time), Chase states this in their terms and conditions. But they seem to be allowing this with Shoprite on a limited amount of spending.
