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.

Why do u need to change at all? Why can't u have one address with barclay on your credit report and a different address on your M&M account??

Pls explain

My first Q was whether it was sufficient to change my M&M account address to Israel.  Apparently it is, so there is no problem.  Thanx for your concern!

An unrelated point, I assume there is no additional AF for AUs on any Barclays cards. Is that accurate?

 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

15 min on the phone and AF waived plus additional 5k for $1000 in 3mo. CSR volunteered to get an account specialist and Linda came on the line right away.

Called in about my US Airways card and they said that if they remove the AF I will loose all the benefits from the card, so I asked if she can remove the AF of the M&M Card so she said she will waive it for me no problem. Any idea about the US Airways? Will I indeed loose the benefits of the card if she removes the AF?
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

That's dependent on his travel plans...

In any case, this should be discussed in the Barclays US Airways thread.

I got my AF waived very easily by tweeting to @askbcus. I just said that my friend had it waived but the phone rep told me no when I tried. Had to DM my home phone, and a few minutes later they wrote back that it was waived.

Twitter is excellent. I've gotten things with so many different companies taken care of on there so quickly.

Yeah. Let us know what happens, I think it's a bit harder to get that one waived.

How long does it typically take them to respond to a tweet?
