The Offer
No direct link, check the Offers section in your Barclays login
People are seeing on their Barclay cards (Hawaiian, Wyndham, etc) various spend offers. Example:
Our Verdict
Some nice spend offers here. There’s also an older offer on the Hawaiian card to get double miles on all purchases (August through November 2025) which can stack with this offer.







Received offers for our no-fee Arrival cards. P1 got 3x everywhere (instead of 5x like most for third-party cards). P2 got the better offer of 5 purchases. Still excellent offers for sock-drawered cards.
My annual fee was last month and I chatted them and was able to get it waived as a retention offer. I don’t do a lot of spend on the card.
My annual fee was last month and I was able to chat them and see if they have any retention offer which was them waiving the annual fee.
I got this on my Hawaiian card: Make 5 purchases of any amount and earn 2,500 points. Valid for eligible purchases with transaction dates between September 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026.
In the app, Holland America card (not used in 6+ months) is showing 2.5K points for making 5 purchases, no minimum spend requirement. Nothing for the Carnival card (used last month).
I got two overlapping offers for 5x points. One runs from Aug to Sep and another Sep to Oct. Wonder if they stack for spend in Sep ??
I got make 5 purchases earn 2500 miles on my Hawaiian card. The annual fee is on this statement so they want me to keep the card.
DP – Got it on the barclays hawaiian card. 5 extra points up to 2500 points. Till Oct 31. Enrolled and got the first round bonus of 2500 points/miles from the may-june round as well.
ggot the same offer on my AARP Travel Card. $25 for 5 purchases Sep 1 thru Oct 31. ni mimimum
got it on Wyndham Earner (which already gives 5 points per dollar on gas)
Is it 5% in addition to the standard cashback? So 5%+1.25% for Upromise card?

I don’t even see an offers page for business cards. I guess these come to personal only?
Yeah, just in time for estimated tax payment.
AARP card: “Enroll now to earn 5% additional rewards for every $1 spent on all purchases, up to $25 rewards, with your card from September 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026.” Rewards card: “Make 5 purchases of any amount from September 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026, and earn 2,500 points”
Got an offer of ” Earn an additional 2,500 points when you make 5 purchases or more from September 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026″. P2 got no offer.
Got it again on my Barclays View (nerfed Uber card, usually sock drawered) 6% on everything up to $500 is pretty decent.
May P2 got that as well. First time either one of us has received this type of offer.
Got this again…seems like it has been like every other quarter and the points have always come through for me. It’s showing under the “Offers” section of the website. Got this on two different cards: Make 5 purchases of any amount from September 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026, and earn 2,500 points. If earned, the points will appear on your statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.
CBM came here to ask the same question. Thank you for letting everyone know you received your 5x points bonus. I have not yet.
Correct – points showed up today 8/9
“All points earned from this promotion will appear on your statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.” That’s per the terms in my offers. Not sure that part universal so YMMV. But if your spending period runs through 6/30 I’d expect the points to show up in late August.
Has anyone actually received the 5x points bonus, this time or a previous time? How long does it take to receive the extra points? After accepting the offer they didn’t show up so I called Barclays to confirm I was enrolled. Just want to know if it will come later.
I have the variation that requires spending $100 in April, May, and June 2026 to earn 2500 bonus points. Terms say “ with transaction dates within each month.” For May, I made the transaction that should have gotten me over the $100 threshold on May 31, but I see now that it posted with a transaction date of June 1. My bad for not getting the spend done with more buffer time. Does anyone have any data points from previous promos on whether there’s any hope for me? Either from Barclays’ system somehow using the auth date rather than official transaction date, or from their support being willing to manually award the points if I submit a ticket (after completing the spend in June, of course)?
I got this email on May 1st from Barclays… genius.
Hawaiian: Earn an additional 2500 points Spend $100 or more each month in APril, May and June to earn 2500 points. I am reading it as a one time 2500 points bonus instead of 2500 for each month. Did I get that right? The T&C does not explicitly state it being per month.
Thanks, eli. I’m hoping I will get the statement credit for the AF, but I haven’t used the card outside earning the SUB.
Activated on old Barclays Cash Forward card: “Enroll now to earn 5 additional points for every $1 spent on all purchases, up to 2,500 points, with your card from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026.”
got 10X on JetBlue w/ 2500 cap
I got the same. Do I have to meet $100 minimum all 3 months to get the 2,500pts? Or is it 2,500 per $100 per month?
