To signup for credit cards you can click here or on the “other credit cards” tab on top of the DansDeals logo banner to view links for card offers. Then just click on the link to “View all card offers by issuing bank” and scroll down to view all card offers from the bank of your choice.

Pulls from TU in NJ, NY , FL , PA

Recon 866 408 4064 (might pull from Experian)

For those who want to churn and/or want to get the bonus without paying the annual fee: Wait until the A/F gets charged, pay it off with the rest of the bill, and the sign-up bonus will post (at the end of that billing cycle). Then call to close the account and ask to be refunded. They can't charge an A/F for a card you aren't using. You will not lose the miles once they are in your US Airways account.

It seems that if after you use the card you just let it sit unused for a couple months, they will then email you with a targeted offer for 15,000 more points for spending $750 a month for three months.

I finally was successful on a 2bm for the NFL and US Airways card. This is my fourth try. Both went to pending initially, but I checked the status immediately and both were approved. The only thing I did differently this time was that I submitted the NFL offer slightly before the US Airways, but that may just be a coincidence.

The $400 NFL deal was pulled about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Anyone who applied since then will likely end up with the 10000 pts after 1st spend offer

NFL Eagles $400 link. It looks like it worked. I'll update after meeting the spend.

I did a 2BM for NFL + USAir and I got approved for the NFL but on the Barclay application status page it says unable to offer me credit at this time for the USAir.

However I just received a letter in the mail from Barclays saying they can't approve my application until I call in and verify some information with them? Anyone had this happen before?

Will they try and pull my credit again if I call in?

That's what I'm worried about. The phone number listed on the letter isn't the same as the recon department though.

Called the number on the letter and they approved me for the USAir with 5k CL, that means I should probably get the better 40k bonus instead of the lower one right?

Not bad for my first 2BM with Barclays I guess!

I froze my EX, I don't care if they pulled my TU again.

Am I able to see online if I'm going to get the 40,000 miles after first purchase? Or do I have to wait until I get my card in the mail? I know for the NFL card it tells me on the website that I'll get 40,000 points after 1k spent in 90 days.

I think you have to wait but you could call to make sure that was what your offer was

I signed up with the link everyone else was using, so I'll just wait.

Thanks MEIR613!

**Important datapoint just in**:

Double browser on 2 of the same US Air card resulted instant on the first and denial on 2nd (4 or 5 seconds apart, separate browsers).
Instant approval came back fast, so that is why the delay on the second app.

I called recon and he confirmed duplicate app and they won't process two identical cards and due to policy they could not approve. I probed the rep on if I were to apply for a different Barclay's card like hotel, etc if the policy still applies. He said that is ok.

So I hung up and applied for the NFL $400, why not, they already pulled 30 minutes prior. Instant approval on that with 40k confirmed on account along with my other (still open) NFL $200 account from 2 months ago and my US Air new line approved today.

This could be a game changer!

Or we just got lucky. Barclays is a pita to deal with for a lot of people.
