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.

is there any way I can still get approved for this card I called and they said I head this card 2 times in the past ?
same here. if you have a good relationship with Barclay it may be worth while to HUCA, otherwise Barclay became tougher over time and its almost impossible IME

But what do I tell them when they ask why did you downgrade it a month ago, and now reapplying?

Applied for card, got bonus in first month and now thinking of closing card to prepare for future churn. Do I request $89 annual fee refund before closing or is it worthwhile investment to get approved in the future?

Take the $89 and run if you get it!
