Barclays US Airways

[eAge]

I asked for a different card but they did not want to. I will try and report back.

By the way my BIL downgraded to the no fee us air card and got instant approval again

DROPR.
With an instant approval he would've likely gotten approved had he not downgraded as well

[eAge]

No fee seems to be good enough.
I didn't read the whole thread, but I don't remember anyone having a problem.

Here you go

Has anybody who downgraded their card to the no annual fee card have been successful in being matched to the 50k offer ? Called yesterday they opened case today i got phone call that I'm not eligible for extra 10k because I downgraded card

Different product is always safer.

Jay s is saying something different. He wanted to get 10k points matched on a downgraded card .
I am talking about applying for a new card.

You're right on that one, was doing a quick search, here's another one

Recon is telling me that you can not have more than one USAir card opened at any given time. Is this true? I should have cancelled the other one before applying for a second card!

ETA:
And another one

Has anyone who has the lower US card heard from recon "you have this card already"?

To your last question: Yes, they told me that and would not approve - they couldn't even see that it was the downgraded version.

Not saying it's not possible, but the process is definitely smoother with a different product.

Anybody else got the offer for 2 bonus points thru march 31?

[bznt]

I got it on a downgraded us air card on gas and utilities. So basically i will get 1.5 points per $ because on the downgraded card you get 1 point for every $2 spent
