Hey Award Trailblazers! Keep your eyes peeled on your inbox, because Barclays is sending out targeted offers to earn an extra 5x points per dollar spent on all purchases! The email comes from info@emails.barclaysus.com, so make sure it doesn't accidentally land in your spam folder.
Here's the lowdown: If you're targeted, you can earn those bonus points on up to $500 in spending between November 1, 2025, and January 31, 2026. You'll need to activate the offer by December 15, 2025, so don't delay! This is on top of the points you already earn with your card, meaning you could be racking up some serious rewards –potentially 6% or more, depending on your card and spending categories. Free points are always a win!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
