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 downgraded.
Downgrading doesn't eliminate the risk, but it definitely lessens the risk

Check Application Status
Congratulations! On 06/20/2016 you were approved for the
Miles & More MasterCard World Elite with a Credit Line of $2,500.00
You'll receive your card, pin and card member agreement within the next 10 days.

Do you see something that says a $5k minimum is required on this card to get the bonus?

I got a $2500 CL also...I'm not too worried...

My miles are set to expire in several months, I haven't been using my M&M card consecutively each month.
Anyone know if I can start using it now each month, will that prevent the miles from expiring?
Thanks

I did but it doesn't answer if you can start using it anytime or you had to have been using it each month from the beginning of the card opening

Incorrect.

"Each month you need to make a minimum of one purchase (that is not returned or refunded) which is eligible for miles with your Miles & More Credit Card."

So basically too late to start using it each month?
