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.

If I knew how to quote Dan from the main site, I would tell you he responded to me that it can't hurt to at least try a 3BM. Waste 5 minutes of your time at most?

I don't know about Dan, but there wasn't a single successful 3bm posted here in the past half year. Less than 5% success with 2bm.

Probably right, but for the off chance it may work and he doesn't mind spending the few minutes it takes...

If that is the case, you are right, not worth it.

Is it better  chance if you have cards with the already?

I don't think Dan is so much of a unicorn, as much as he is a high credit score individual with extensive positive history with each bank. That weighs heavily in his favor.

It's possible those with referral link programs are given preferential treatment as well, though.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Worse chance,  they say i see you already have x cards with us.

And they also say i see you closed your card etc.

1 pull for my 4BM but it wasn't in the past 6 months.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Most likely before the rule change. It was a breeze in those days. Were all 4 US Air?  :)

Yeh, but they also say "we want to see how you handle your previously opened cards before granting you more."

Instant approval or did you have to make any calls for approval?
