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 about that, but it seems to be 36 months from accrual (actually, end of quarter following the 36'th month), not cancellation of credit card.

Im a bit confused, if someone can please make it clear ill appreciate it!

Having the card alone does it prevent from the miles getting expired, or you need to make a transaction every month?
Does it hold for 36 months or for life?
When closing the card, how long do you have for the miles to expire? 3 months or 36 months? or it depends which and when the miles were earned?

Does it hold for 36 months or for life? If you have the card and make a transaction every month it never expires.
When closing the card, how long do you have for the miles to expire? 3 months or 36 months? or it depends which and when the miles were earned? AFAIU the miles will expire at the end of the quarter following 36 months from when they were earned. For instance, if you earned the miles 07/2014 it will expire 09/2017.

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?

From email recieved today.
"Changes to the Miles & More Terms & Conditions as of July 1, 2014

Dear thingywingy:

 Miles & More has revised and streamlined its Terms & Conditions as of July 1, 2014. Among other things, these changes include extending the validity of award miles even if you cancel your membership in the programme.
 
You will find the new Miles & More Terms & Conditions at:
 miles-and-more.com/conditions."
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Yes, LX is the best choice to stop over with on the way to TLV because they give you lie flat on the ZRH-TLV leg as well.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.
