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 think you will be fine (assuming you don't have a crazy amount of pulls etc.).

WTH!!! So I applied for the M&M card and they instantly denied me, I called recon and he explains to me that he sees that I opened around 10 new cards in the past year, and he doesn't see utilization on the new cards, and he sees that only the first months i used all those cards and after that I stopped using them, so I tried to explain that these are all airline cards that i use to have other benefit with the airlines, he said that needs to see more usage with the cards recently opened...
I recently closed my Arrival card with 7.5K CL on it he didn't wanna take that CL.
I only have 4 pulls on my TU, 2 from Barclay's (2BM.. no success), BOFA, Gap (an old one)
Would HUCA work with these monsters?

I have an lh opened for a year and arrival for 3 months. I would like to get the 50k offer for the lh. Would they approve me for a 3rd cc or should I first close the current lh card ?

I opened a USAir card on 12/09 and haven't used it since 02/24 waiting for the extra mileage offer. I only made one large purchase on it in the second statement (and 2 small ones in the other 2 statements).

Would I be accepted or would they tell me they need to see more use?

I applied for the LH card 3 weeks after being approved for the US airways card and did not get instant approval. I called recon and had the sweetest woman who asked me what I would do with the 2nd card, I said that I fly LH a lot and would like their card. I offered to split my CL for US airways which she accepted and then came back to tell me that she will throw in an additional 1k since I have handled my first card so well (mind you I haven't gotten my first statement yet!).
