I received this email on my Barclay Arrival today and I can't figure out what has changed besides the chip and pin technology. All of the other "upgrades" were items I thought were already included in the card. Am I missing something here?
Scott, you've been selected for an upgrade!¹
You'll soon receive your new card — the Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard.® It comes with all the great benefits you get today, and then some. In addition to earning 2X miles for every dollar spent on purchases, and 10% miles back to use toward your next redemption every time you redeem for travel statement credits, you'll also enjoy:
• Chip-card technology, for greater acceptance when you travel abroad
• Exciting benefits as a result of your card upgrade to World Elite status
• Expanded redemption options for travel statement credits including buses, timeshares and more
• 120 days to redeem miles for travel statement credits - that's 30 more days than you previously had!
Your account number won't change, but you will receive a new expiration date. Your new card will come at no additional cost to you.
You'll be delighted with these additional benefits:²
