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.

Barclays Lufthansa Miles & More Card

how do i initiate a conversation thru twitter?
Find the twitter name you're looking for, for example Barclay would be @askbcus and tweet: @askbcus can you please waive the AF on my Lufthansa card etc. Make sure to follow them just to save you a step, they will probably follow you back and ask you to DM the info they want.

For M&M you tweet to @askbcus.

Success via twitter/DM! :)
"Normally we don't waive the fees: however, as a one time courtesy an adjustment has been made to your account."
Soo much easier than calling for an account specialist!

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


A very nice Rep called me back after I tweeted, and apologetically told me that since they are giving me the 40k, they cannot credit the AF.  She also mentioned that they did just waive the AF on my M&M but US Air is more difficult. :-\ :-\

Should I give up?

I think twitter is a bit different than the normal HUCA game because it's the same 2-3 reps that man the account, so it's not like you'll be getting a new rep each time who hasn't heard of you or your whole story yet..

That's just what I think though, you never know...

Can I change on my wife's  M&M account from her maiden name to mine (by sending them our marriage license) , while her M&M credit card linked to that account should still be on her maiden name?? Will it still stay linked or they can make problems? (can't change now the credit card name too)

I didn't get the 30k bonus for spending 5k in the first 3 months. Problem is that I don't have a screenshot of the promotion, what should I do?

So they're saying they awarded you the miles, it just doesn't show on Lufthansa's end yet?

Well, Barclays promised you 50K miles, not Lufthansa.

My Barclay M+M card is coming up for renewal. Is it possible to cancel it, reapply in the future and get the bonus again? If so, how long?
