Card Highlights 

 

Barclays Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard is a Credit Card

With a credit card, you can carry a balance and accrue interest if necessary. Note this is not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest. See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.

Read here about why I want this card.  Oh wait, I just got the card!  And then Rob got the card too!  Then some years later Rob downgraded the card and I downgraded the card too.
