Barclays Launches Premier Global Travel Card That Rewards Cardmember Loyalty: Barclays Arrival® Premier World Elite Mastercard®

"Barclays Arrival Premier is unlike any product we've offered – we're rewarding loyalty and making those rewards last," said Rachana Bhatt, managing director, US Branded Card Business, Barclays. "We found that consumers don't want to constantly juggle or open and close cards to get the most value, so we've created a card for life. Our simple approach to earning miles, with loyalty bonuses available each year, makes it easy to turn every purchase into valuable miles that pay for your next getaway."

Each year, cardmembers can earn up to 25,000 loyalty bonus miles – 15,000 miles when they spend $15,000 on purchases, and an additional 10,000 miles when they spend another $10,000 on purchases. Plus, with unlimited 2X miles on every purchase, cardmembers will earn a total of 75,000 miles when they spend $25,000 on purchases each year, the equivalent of a $750 travel statement credit towards a qualifying travel purchase.
