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.

I was told via PM, when I asked them to confirm that ill get the bonus, so the response was "I will get it once i paid the AF"

So does it mean anything?

Getting the AF waived before the bonus posts will not affect the bonus posting.

It did effect me once. To make along story short they waived the AF and I never got the bonus I finally got the points after lots of HUCA's and speaking to supervisors.

FTFY. That actually happened to me too, only I ended up getting the 20k twice, once manually and the 2nd time when the computer did it. A total 70k bonus miles!

"along story" and the run-on sentence you're fine with?

Does anyone know if I can start using this card every month now before my miles expire to prevent them from expiring or needed to use it every month from the beginning of earning the miles?

TIA

IIRC you can start using it now and that should keep them from expiring.

Did you end up getting it waived? I had to HUCA like 4 times before I got someone to do it.
