Is the only difference between the 2 links in the wiki that with the 1st link the annual fee is waived 1st year? Anyone apply recently and have issue with only being accepted for smaller bonus card? Do I decrease the chance of getting the better offer if I apply with a 2bm with the Barclay Arrival WMC? If so, would it be an eitza to 1st apply for arrival card; if I get instantly approved apply for USAirways? Will that still count for 2bm? Worth mentioning I have never had an account with Barclays.

Does the 35k no fee 1st yr work? (the one in the wiki)

i did that one but they charged me the $89 annual fee they said the free one doesn't give the signup bonus, anyone had the same thing ?

got one that charged an AF for 40k points, should i just apply for another one even while this one is still open or do i have to close this one first as there's no excuse that i want one visa and one mc etc ?

1) Recently, it has been extremely hard getting a second one while the first is still open, especially right after the first app.

2)There is only a MC version and not Visa.

I think it's more the "right after" part, than a second one in general. I recently got a second one, no problem (and i'm far from being on Barclays' good side). They're cracking down on consecutive US Air apps IME.

You may get approved, recons a long shot.

it's been 24 hours since I submitted an app for US air first and then a few minutes later the new World card. Both went to pending stage. Not sure what to do at this point. I want to unlock my EQ for Chase but at the same time I don't want Barclay's pulling that too at a later date.

I do already have a US Air card still open from late October. However I did close my 2nd NFL account about 2 weeks ago from August. All those were instant approvals.

I just got my 40k on 2 of my cards. Like almost 3 months after opening. I might have messed with the statement closing so that might have delayed it a bit, but with the annual fee, you have to first pay the fee on the first statement. I only got it on the third statement.

Now is the time to downgrade it and get back the AF. That's why I would say to take to 40k and pay the fee and get it back rather than only 35k.

Nope, you can transfer miles for a large fee.

just got 40k offer in email for this us airways premier world master card (+10k through balance transfers) is it worth it? did anyone get the AF waived recently?

Moshe123 · « **Reply #634 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:50:59 PM »

Anyone else with the same experience?
They won't refund the annual fee after 60 days even with downgrading the card.

The offer with the annual fee only got you the bonus after 60 days.

Sure, just read thru this thread, it'll tell you many things about it

Anyone been successful recently churning this card:

--while currently having one and getting approved? Denied?

--while recently having closed one and getting approved? Denied? How long before did you close?

I can't admit to reading MMS

but look at what he quoted from someone from barclays
" He said that having 2 of the same cards made it easier for his large family to travel. I’m guessing he was referring to the Barclays US Air card, which besides having a sign-up bonus also gets you a companion pass which reduces the amount of cash for families to travel. It was nice to know that a credit card executive had 2 identical airline loyalty credit cards!"

Unsuccessful
I got two of them last year, but now two applications spaced have been denied, they don't even pull my credit. But I have one open still. After I finish 750x3 will close and see if it goes.
