I waited ages for this one as I had seen so many people on Flyertalk get it but I never did.

.

In normal circumstances this would be an easy one to do – except the email came 2 days after we left for Africa and I didn’t bring this card with me.  It’s not one I normally use on an overseas trip due to the forex fees, but I would have made the sacrifice for this type of promo.

After getting home I sent Barclays a secure message asking to postpone the promo to Dec, Jan & Feb since I had been traveling in Africa but no dice!  Now I have to decide whether to keep or cancel.  They did recently confirm that they would keep the 10,000 anniversary bonus even after the merger with AA so I am inclined to keep it.
