I am with a number of companies that provide bloggers with card links. One of them abruptly sent me and email stating that the Barclaycard Reward MasterCard is no longer available effective immediately! What may be next is the Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard® as once one card goes most of the time the others follow suit.
I have this card and we are still waiting to hear back about Lisa’s reconsideration letter to see if she can get her’s too! Bottom line is that if you have been waiting to get in on this one (ie current offer) it may not be around for very much longer and now at least you know what I know – René
EDIT: I got an update from Barclaycard and was told: “Please know, that while the 40,000 mile bonus offer is a limited time offer, it has not expired” so clearly there is still time to get this GREAT offer but for how much longer they will not say!

Thanks for the heads-up. Your link still works and I scored instant approval for my card.
Another 40,000 miles on the way!
So, at what point in the year should I close the card? Month 11?
@MI_sat – this is a very good card with good return. I would not be too quick to close. I would call at 11 months for retention bonus as with ALL cards you should 🙂 – Txs – Rene
Isn’t there a no annual fee version of the card? Maybe you could downgrade the card to that one instead of closing?
@Sam – not that I am aware of. If you can find such a link please email me! (a public one)
