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.

this is #2 for me (cancelled my first one over a month ago).. same ffn or new?
I was fine with same.

Cross-posting for emphasis.
I still don't get why everyone loves this card. There are only a few routes that make it worth using these points and you're likely only going to find availability within a week or two of your flight, which is kinda late to plan a trip. And if no avail opens up, then oh well.

If I close my miles and more card today can I sign up again and receive the points?
Yes. Although I wouldn't reapply today. Give it a few days.

Is this like Chase, where you can apply while having an active M&M acct, or do I first need to close the old one before applying? If the latter, can I apply immediately after closing or is there a safe window to wait, and how long?
Thanks in advance!

They have decent value on open market -- about 1.2

That's probably at a higher mileage band. For ~50K I think ~1.2 is the market. If not, please pm me.
