We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Million Mile Secrets reader Choi comments:

    When I make a charge to my Barclaycard Arrival Plus card and redeem my points for a statement credit, will the credit show up on my bill immediately?  Or do I have to pay for the current charges at end of the statement and then get the credit on the following statement?
    How Long Will You Have to Wait to See the Statement Credit on the Barclaycard Arrival Plus Card?

    The answer depends on when Choi requests the credit.  I’ll show you how it works!

    With the Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard®, Choi gets 40,000 Arrival miles (~$400 in credits on $100+ travel purchases) when spending $3,000 on purchases within the 1st 3 months of opening the account.

    Other perks she gets with this card include:

    The Arrival miles Choi earns with the Barclaycard Arrival Plus card can be redeemed as statement credits.

    Note: Arrival “miles” can NOT be transferred to airlines!  They’re points you can use for statement credits.

    Barclaycard has a helpful video that will show Choi how to redeem the miles.  But after redeeming miles, how long is it until the credit appears on the statement?

    How Long Will It Take to Get Your Barclaycard Arrival Statement Credit?

    According to Barclaycard, statement credits will show up on Choi’s bill within 5 to 7 business days.

    Request Your Credit Within the 1st 2 1/2 weeks of the Month to Ensure It Posts to Your Current Statement

    This is important because you don’t want to wind up carrying a balance and paying interest.

    So you might consider redeeming your Arrival miles as soon as the travel purchase hits your account.  That way you’ll have the greatest chance of getting your statement credit before your bill is due.

    Bottom Line

    You earn 2X miles per $1 spent on the Barclaycard Arrival card.  Arrival miles can be redeemed as statements credits for 2% back towards $100+ travel purchases.

    But you should keep in mind that once you request a credit, it can take 5 to 7 business days before it posts to your account.
