Intro APR for 15 months on balance transfers made within 45 days of account opening

Barclays doesn't approve a second card in almost all circumstances.
Iv'e got my wife this card and 3 weeks later applied for US Airways got approved as well without closing first one although only $600 credit line. so YMMV
The way to go is to close your card, wait a week (I can only vouch for a week, might be less), apply for a new card (I can only vouch for a different card, it might not matter. Try it out!) and bam! get approved instantly! (that's what almost all Barclays approvals are)

The evidence is still only from a small number of cases, but it works.

P.S. I don't take responsibility and you can't sue me if it doesn't work.

P.P.S. This is called the SFGM. It's named after the person who helped me discover it.

There are many, many reports of success churning the card without needing a new FFN.

Ask for the annual fee to be waived. It will be. Don't give up after 1 no. The first responders are "relationship managers." They are often unhelpful with the fee. Just ask specifically to speak to "an account specialist." They can waive the fee. If you have trouble getting to an account specialist, you can tell the relationship manager who answers the phone that you were on the line with an account specialist and got disconnected. They should be more than happy to "reconnect" you.

When booking a mileage ticket directly with united you have 24 hours to cancel for a full refund. How does it work when booking a mileage ticket with Lufthansa's Miles on a United flight, do we get the same 24 courtesy period?

Most bizarre blogger controversy ever.  MMS got caught in a lie so just ignored it completely while his reputation went to shreds.
Yeah, very strange how that all went down.
How did they figure out it wasn't his own work?

I remember those days, it was so much fun, he kept on deleting comments on his website, he had a full time job just doing that.

I wonder why my IP has not been blocked.
I remember reading somewhere about a Google Cache, I can't remember where.
Maybe that's why he's hiring two FT's.  ;)

Can try again, but Barclay's is usually firm with their decisions. IME.

Just spoke to Barclays to a rep & the manager for 52 minutes.
No way they will approve me, nothing to talk about.. I dont have a bad history.. just too many pulls this year
