Given the new offer that waives the annual fee for the first year, I figured it’s a good time to review what the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard has to offer and whether it’s worth a spot in your wallet.

Just got it - decided to go for this with $600 in travel instead of the JetBlue card. The great thing is you don't have to wait a long time to redeem, pretty much on your next trip there's opportunity to get all or part of the $600!

$5K. that's a lot to spend for a bonus. And with the annual fee-did you forget to mention that-this card is not better than the no-annual fee Citi Double Cash, assuming you have a backup for no foreign transaction fees.

Actually the fact that the travel reimbursements are NOT limited is the key value to me compared to other cards. Put on any limit and it becomes harder, if not impossible, to justify the annual fee. Remember these "miles" are not transferrable, so the only way this card works mathematically (after the first year with its enrollment bonus) is to offset an important value of travel expenses. I'll probably offset more than $1,500 this year. What is the point of 2.05x if that cash back is good for only $300 a year, and there's a $95 fee? That statement reads like it was made by a person who has researched the card but doesn't really understand where its value lies.

Hi. Can we use this card for hotel restaurants? Lots of hotels have restaurants inside. Can we redeem those points towards that? Thanks
