Is there a free card I can PC to? And then the Arrival + is churnable?
Idk about the downgrade options for the card. I used all the points I could feasibly use & cancelled it.
@striker1064 covered this well...I'll just add that when my AF came up, I called, talked to the very nice man and he had two offers (I can't remember the second) and I downgraded to the no AF. I've kept this for 6 months but forgot to take it on our last trip to Europe so my plan is to keep it, use it a lot in Europe next summer and fall then cancel and try to get the arrival + in the winter (3 years after original). Hopefully this strategy will work for me since Barlcays is hard to predict approvals but I really like having a true chip and PIN for Europe travels (it actually isn't in my desk [sockdrawer], it stays in my "travel wallet" in the firesafe).
I'm mainly saving them for overseas travel at this point. We aren't willing to sit in coach for those long haul 10+ hour flights, and no way can we pay cash for those seats. No overseas trips are planned at the moment - we just got back from one and aren't the type of people to take a big trip like that every year. Our last college tuition payment will be this December, though, so perhaps we could travel more in the future.
I'm jealous of your final tuition bill coming in! DD is senior in hs so those are looming large...MRs are great for overseas travel-we're planning our flights for the ABD next Oct and it's so nice to know I can transfer to BA, Flying Blue or Delta.
