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.

They would not waive my wife's AF first year even after i asked for supervisor saying they can only downgrade card to a no annual fee card but it might affect our point structure

anybody know if this card lets you have 30 or 60 days to cancel for full refund as i can still spend the necessary $5000 for the 50,000 total points and then cancel.  how do i find out if 30 or 60?
I thought you're supposed to ask for an "account specialist" not a supervisor to get the fee waived. Definitely HUCA.

Had the same thing with my wife's card, after a 10 minute argument and the answer was still NO, wife used the "but my friend got the annual fee waived" line, and it worked.

I applied and was approved for the LH card in December. I want to know if I can apply again to get another bonus, if so how long do I have to wait and do I have to close the card I currently have? (I have read through this entire thread and the wiki). Thanks

Did we read the same wiki? I think that's what the first paragraph talks about.

Are you talking about another Miles and More, or a different Barclays card? Both seem to be addressed in the Wiki, but if you can make your question a bit more clear that would be helpful.

I thought he was asking if he can keep his LH card open and reapply for another LH card and get the bonus again, or if he has to close it first, or will neither work?

Either way, the way I read the wiki is that it works when closing a card a week before applying for a different Barclays card then you can get approved. Unclear to me based on the wiki whether any situation works where getting the same card will allow for another bonus to be gotten.

Hope that was clear - not sure it was.

Thank you and yes that was my question. I am only interested in the LH card and wanted to know if i can get it and the bonus again (with or without closing the card). If I understand you correctly you're not completely sure if that works as it's not directly addressed in the wiki? If anyone else knows for sure either way please let me know.

I agree with you in feeling that it is not directly addressed in the wiki. If someone would like to clarify that would be great.

I don't think there is a good offer now for the lufthansa card.

Why do these points take forever to post? I met the threshold a few weeks ago. Anyone else have this experience?
