Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, a travel rewards credit card could help you save some serious money.

Heads up: What to consider when applying for a travel rewards credit card

Travel rewards cards with flexible redemption options may be best suited for those who have varied or uncertain travel plans.

Otherwise, if you already have a trip in mind, the details of the trip may dictate which card is best. For example, your research could reveal that your largest expense will be the flights. If that’s the case, earning miles from a co-branded airline credit card and redeeming them for a flight might offer you the most value.

In general, you may not want to put travel expenses on a travel rewards credit card if you don’t think you’ll be able to pay your balance in full, because it could have a higher interest rate than a different type of card.

Bottom line: Is Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard® right for you?

When you’re deciding whether Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard® is right for you, consider how much you’re likely to spend using the card each year, whether the benefits you’ll receive will outweigh the annual fee after the first year and if you’ll make good use of the rewards.
