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 sent tweet last night asking for waiver of annual fee and they sent me DM this morning stating it was waived. Also offered lower APR. They had account info from prior tweets.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

How did you phrase the question? They only offered me to waive half.

Has anyone had success recently getting the full fee waived via account specialist?
How many HUCAs?

Hi Guys,

I had a MM CC a few years ago, now my miles are going to expire. Anything I can do to keep them alive? (Hope I'm in the right thread)

There is a trick to book a tix up to one
Year out , and then you can cxl and redeposit
Points For IIRC $50 fee ,

Then you must use the  read deposited points within the next quarter that I am believe starts January March  and you can extend for over a year for $50 .
Call them to explain to you exactly how it is done, well worth $50 for 55,000 miles
Read the ensuing conversation after this post. CC activity will also extend the life of your points but you need three consecutive months for that.
