Barclays US Airways

[89mclarenstang]

is this 30/60 to get refund on annual fee from date of opening cc or from when paying the fee?  they didnt charge the fee on my account until the second statement...i paid the same day but still have money owed on account.  should i pay the full balance?  will the 89 i paid go towards the fee automatically or does it post against charges first?  im also waiting on the 25$ credit from paperless.  dont want to miis out on that before either downgrading or cancelling.

It's usually counted form the day it was charged. No personal experience though.
The fee ads to your balance. When you make a payment, it will go towards your balance. There's no differentiation between purchases and the AF.
I downgraded and was told that I'm still eligible for the $25 paperless credit, but who knows. The reps don't seem to know anything.

so what do you think should i pay the entire balance?  i dont want to waste any time with this because id like to maybe churn the card before its too late....

Pay in full. 99% you'll get a refund check, if you ask for it.

That's what was being reported. Better HUCA

HUCA time
Update: cant downgrade, so i cancelled instead

So, I have a Barclays US Airways.

Now before they shut it down I am planning on doing a 2BM for me and my wife: US Air and Arrival+ for both sometime this week.

Enough time in advance in case it goes pending?
Any obvious reasons they wouldnt approve me for a second open US Airways card?

That you have one already?

Should happen automatically.

Sorry - mistake there. Meant if there is an obvious reason to be approved for a second. I know many that have a 2nd but I dont really get what the pitch for it is to Barclays. I guess they do insta-approve those often enough to have 2 without having to HUCA?

Don't rely on getting instant approval.

Then I really wonder how easy it is to get the second when calling. I guess "business and personal" is something I could tell them..

she said it will show up on my account
she said i couldnt downgrade, i said yesterday i was told i could. she started to explain that since then i paid the fee (not true) so things change. she sounded nice so i figured ill just cancel and put this to rest.
for some reason my wifes 50k havent posted yet, despite paying AF same time

Did both statements close on the same day?

[clear thinker]

As per the app page it says you have to apply & be approved before the cut off date (which iirc is the 18th) do you really have to be approved by then is this different then chase?

[dealfinder85]

Did both statements close on the same day?

no, but i got my 50k before the statement close anyway

The 50k are in your Dividend Miles account already? Or it's just posted on your statement?

I understand from others in this thread, that the miles post to your Dividend Miles account only after the statement is closed.
