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.

Get 5% miles back
When you redeem miles for travel purchases, you get 5% of your redemption back. You can read more about that here.
