The Offer
- Receive an additional 2x rewards points on grocery store purchases, movie theater purchases and utility payments. Because Barclay Sallie Mae card already earns 5x rewards points on grocery store purchases (up to $250 in purchases per month), this means you’ll earn 7x rewards points on grocery store purchases.
The Fine Print
- Must have received the targeted e-mail
- Promotion runs from January 1st to March 31st, 2015
- Offer must be activated by January 20th, 2015
Our Verdict
I usually don’t post targeted deals like this, but I made an exception in this case for two reasons:
- I think the Barclay Sallie Mae card is one of the most underrated cards on the market
- I wanted to highlight how often these types of targeted promotions seem to come along, not just for the Sallie Mae card but most Barclay cards – especially when you’re not putting a lot of spend on the card
Hat tip to Christina_xyt from myfico forumsÂ
I got a different targeted Barclay Sallie Mae Card offer for 2X more on department store, movie theater, and dining for January 1st to March 31st, 2015.
I called my Barclay arrival plus card agent about downgrading to this card but the rep said they don’t have this product? Is this really issued by Barclay?
Yes it’s really issued by them, hang up and call again the rep didn’t know what they were talking about.
