re: Airline CCs for low spenders

Given the low amount of travel, you should also consider the Barclaycard Arrival. It offers 2 points per dollar and they are redeemable towards any type of travel. The bonus is currently 40,000 points after $1,000 spend. They also give you 10% of your redeemed points back. So after spending $1,000 on the card, you would have enough points for $450 in travel.
