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 just received another LH card after opening one in June. The older card is still open. No instant approval, but I didn't even call reconsideration.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

I applied for this card last week and got accepted (BTW I did 2bm for arrival and Lufthansa. One was instantly approved, the other was pending and is now approved).
The link that I used said 20,000 miles. Is that the current offer? Do they do an offer match?
Thanks

This was actually for my wife. I applied for myself and was only approved for arrival with $10k cl I called recon without success.
Neither of us have had any Barclay's cards before. I'll keep you posted about what happens with the bonus.

i called on dec 7 and got the annual fee waived. HOWEVER, on 12/31, the $79 annual fee showed up anyway. Had to call back, 20 minutes on phone, and talk to specialist again. Said she would adjust it, and I should see a credit in 3-5 days. PITA though. Hopefully it posts.

When do these miles expire after I close the card, 36 months after closing or once it's closed you count the 36 months from when you got the points?
