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.

FTFM
That was an exact quote of my tweet.

FWIW the last 2 pages of this thread smell of troll.

I'm looking to close account or convert to double cash. Would having the "same" account which at one point was a M&M account make it more difficult to apply in the future with bonus?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Double cash is Citi. Possibly, could be HUCA'd.

Woops. I SM'd them asking to convert to double cash...Are there any no fee cards they will let me convert to so I don't loose the credit line and negatively impact credit score? I know Barclays doesn't let you transfer credit from one card to another existing account...?

No. See LoLos comment. Hence the "Woops".
