Barclays joins Citi, USAA in slashing perks
Unfortunately, removing price protection seems to be a trend among major credit card issuers.
Citi announced earlier this year that Citi Price Rewind and a slew of other benefits would be cut from cards beginning Sept. 22, 2019. But on the bright side, Citi is making up for this cut by adding new features to one of its most popular rewards cards – the Citi® Double Cash Card.

USAA began removing price protection from its cards on Aug. 31, 2019, but also extended the value of other card benefits.
In the case of Barclays, it seems any positive changes to make up for this cut will be limited. You should carefully check any notifications on your account for mentions of added benefits.
