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 called to have the AF waived after being refused by SM.  I requested an account specialist right away and the relationship manager asked why I needed one so I said to have the AF waived, and she refused to transfer me to an account specialist.  Every time I asked her she said "the AF can not be waived on this card, I can transfer you to my supervisor" and eventually I asked "why cant you just transfer me to an account specilaist?!" she she said "my system wont allow me to" ????

I got my AF waived by speaking to the first reps supervisor.

What is the suggested wait time between a M AND M and a ARRIVAL does a month sound like enough?

Same here. So I said I want to close the acct and the rep said he'll speak to acct specialist for me. Put me on hold then came back and waived the fee.

Do people generally have success getting the AF waived before the fee actually posts? I finally got through to an account specialist who told me that the fee waiver wasn't available to her, but she did give me 5000 miles for $1000 spend in 90 days. Obviously I'm going to HUCA.
