when redeemed for cash, barclays points are worth between 1 cent to 2 cents per point. the value depends on what barclays card you are using:
10,000 mastercard titanium card points are worth $100
10,000 mastercard black card points are worth $150
10,000 mastercard gold card points are worth $200
however, all three cards have the same redemption rate when booking airfare, 10,000 points getting you $133 airfare discount. There could be a variety of leaderboards. Like one of top points overall, and another for the most points gained in the previous 4 weeks or something.

having adequate enroute alternates

if you are referring to being able to choose an enroute fuel alternate in europe (i.e. within a circle having a radius equal to 20% of the flight plan distance, the centre of which lies at 25 % d… sally, i wish i had a points chart to share with you for these upcoming voyages, but as of this writing, they have not been made available. i have checked both the disney vacation club member website and disney cruise line website several times this week, but still nothing. it is possible they may not release points charts online, and you will need to call the booking number to inquire. i have noticed that the booking page for these cruises has been down today and populated by the seven dwarfs who are “working on it.”  i am hopeful for the possibility that they are updating that page with more information, so i recommend checking back frequently. using a gas credit card is merely one of the ways that you can save on fuel consumption. you can also use a website like gasbuddy, which identifies the lowest gas prices in your area. and many supermarkets have loyalty programs that allow you to earn gas rebates when you shop. so opening the gas reward credit card tied to the same gas station as your supermarket loyalty program is a great way to save extra.
