Activating the Barclay Arrival card TripIt Pro subscription
When I wrote my earlier blog post about the Barclay Card Arrival card, one questions I got from multiple readers was ‘how do I activate my complimentary TripIt Pro Subscription’? One reader thought that it was probably a code that came with the card when it came in and he had probably thrown it away. Luckily it is not. It is as easy as clicking on a link on the Barclaycard website.
TripIt Pro:
TripIt is my favorite travel App. While I have Kayak Pro already, I have found TripIt, even the free version, to be much better. It adds all travel details directly to my calendar and has an excellent user interface. I tried on Pro version using their 1-month free trial on my recent trip to South East Asia and it is awesome. I could not wait to activate my account with Barclaycard.
Click and activate:
Once you have set up barclaycard account up on their website, you will find a big banner on the right to activate your complimentary account. Just click on it and it will take you to TripIt.com. If you don’t have a TripIt account, you can set one up at this time. If you do have an account, just log in and voila – your Pro subscription is activated!
I did the needful and immediate logged into my TripIt app on my iPhone. Sure enough, my account had been upgraded to the Pro account – with Seat Tracker, Alerts – the works!
