Guru’s Wrap-up
The bonuses are now much better at 60K for the $99 card and 70K for the $499 card. You also earn status immediately for having the card although you need to meet a spending threshold to keep status going forward ($40K and $20K annually).
The Barclays Emirates Skywards Rewards card could be a good option for those who need Skywards miles. But the Emirates Skywards program is a transfer partner for all major currencies, American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One Venture Miles. So earning Emirates Skywards is already easy through credit credit cards that earn these currencies.
