Intro APR for 15 months on balance transfers made within 45 days of account opening

Barclays doesn't approve a second card in almost all circumstances.
Iv'e got my wife this card and 3 weeks later applied for US Airways got approved as well without closing first one although only $600 credit line. so YMMV
The way to go is to close your card, wait a week (I can only vouch for a week, might be less), apply for a new card (I can only vouch for a different card, it might not matter. Try it out!) and bam! get approved instantly! (that's what almost all Barclays approvals are)

The evidence is still only from a small number of cases, but it works.

P.S. I don't take responsibility and you can't sue me if it doesn't work.

P.P.S. This is called the SFGM. It's named after the person who helped me discover it.

There are many, many reports of success churning the card without needing a new FFN.

Ask for the annual fee to be waived. It will be. Don't give up after 1 no. The first responders are "relationship managers." They are often unhelpful with the fee. Just ask specifically to speak to "an account specialist." They can waive the fee. If you have trouble getting to an account specialist, you can tell the relationship manager who answers the phone that you were on the line with an account specialist and got disconnected. They should be more than happy to "reconnect" you.

IMO you should insist getting the full annual fee waived.
Did you threaten closing the card? Try explaining them its not worth it for you if you have to pay an AF while there are many free cards out there.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

I am thiking of closing it anyways. However I am thinking of opening new cards with them like arrivle and us airways.
My question is I just did a 3bm with chase this past thursday, is it gonna mess up a 3bm with barclay or am I good to go? Btw I live in ny so I think I get pulled from TU...

No more 2/3BM with Barclays, IME.
They used to be the best, but no longer.

They won't see Chase's pull, since Chase pulls EX, but once the first statement closes they'll see it on the TU report as well. And that might make you problems as they see you just opened other cards.

They waive the fee pretty easily
No need to downgrade or cancel, just ask a rep to waive the fee.
Was just instantly approved with a 14k CL! (My largest ever from Barclays.)
Do i just call about the AF? Any talking points? TIA!

Barclays site has it and doesn't mention that the offer may be pulled anytime. So I would guess good until dec 15
