Barclays Mastercard Titanium is a $299-a-year points card from Barclays. The headline 2x applies only to airfare booked through LuxuryCardTravel.com; everywhere else it earns 1x.
On our reference budget of $24,600 a year its rewards come to $276, $23 short of the annual fee. That is normal at this price; the card only works if the perks replace spending you already do, or your bonus-category spending is far above a typical household's.
The fee is easy to clear if its bonus categories is a real share of your budget. If not, a no-fee card from the same issuer keeps most of the earning.
