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.

Not sure if this will help me.  I am looking to book for January and can't do it at the last minute.
Yeah, sorry. Maybe this is harder than it looks...

Applied for 2nd Lufthansa 3 days after closing the first one, the app went pending, called recon, and they denied the app based on:

-Recently opening and closing same card,
-Too many apps in the last few months

I'm not even trying HUCA, they are so scripted.

😒😞

Hmm based on the 2nd reason, it could be something to do with you specifically, but if it's really mostly the 1st reason, then I think we found the sweet spot. 3 days wait is too short, 4 days is enough.

IIRC, the application required the number.  But my memory could be wrong.

Yes. That is, unless you plan on applying for the US, Arrival, or NFL card. Then, you do NOT need a M&M account. ;)

Some people have reported luck and others not.  Keep trying.  As the saying goes, YMMV.
What do you do after your dreams come true?
