I have 1 card with them that I don't really use for about 6 month now.Would that help or they normally want longer & more activity?

If you plan on applying anyways, it does not hurt to throw in another application.

If the transition is anything like United/Continental then yes, absolutely.

Any idea why the sign up bonus wouldn't post at the same time as the everyday purchase points on a new card? In the past they've posted same day, but didn't on the new 40k link. Would like to book an award before Mar 31...

Just had the same issue.

Used for purchases, that's why I'm surprised the bonus points didn't post like they did in the past.

And I wasn't planning on doing a BT, but only getting the 40k.

Hopefully they will post within the next month or so. I guess I can always call to find out.

I applied for 40K offer after first purchase in wiki with $89 annual fee. I spent a few bucks on card but points didn't post with first statement closing but neither did annual fee. I just got second statement and it shows $89 annual fee but no points. Anyone else experience this? Any point in waiting another month before I reach out? My hesitation is that I have churned this card (not this specific offer) 10 times in the last few years.

Thanks

I smed and they told after the annual fee is paid so I'm waiting for the next statement to close...

I had the same thing. I checked the T&Cs

3 Bonus Miles: Applicants who are approved for the Premier World MasterCard will receive 40,000 bonus miles after the first use of the account for a Purchase or Balance Transfer (that are not later returned or rescinded) and have paid the Annual Fee on the account (and such fee is not rescinded).

IIRC On the 35k, no AF card it posted immediately after spend even before the statement closed.

Contacted Barclays and was told the points would post with the statement closing after the annual fee was paid.

That's a week out for me - will report back if points still don't post. They don't seem to be pulling an Amex and simply not posting points for churners.

You speak to an account supervisor?

Just SM'd - anyone had recent success getting it waived for this card? Was originally going to close the card within 60 days and request a refund for the second time then, but the delayed points posting has killed that plan.

Try calling and speaking to someone higher up the food chain.

by not using my card will I be targeted faster for 15k bonus offer?

It worked for me. Read the Wiki.

Freddie · « **Reply #979 on:** March 19, 2014, 04:39:27 PM »

My 15,000 bonus points just posted from spending $750 a month in the three months of Nov, Dec, Jan. It took a couple statements, is what I'm saying.

Now... you think I should close the card and go for a churn?
