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.

This is only When leaving from TLV with an Israeli address account,
Oh that's not too helpful for me :(

Would love to use 70K RT for NYC-HNL on UA F. But there's barely any availability ever.

Have you checked last minute availability?

Yeah and although there's always green and blue boxes ;) they're usually only for the 2-cabin planes. Was hoping to fly real F. Was also hoping to plan the trip more than 5 days in advance, like you were hoping for as well.

The UA flights to from EWR to HNL are all 2 cabin planes.  They call F "business first."  It is lay flat F. 

But yes, I hear your pain and feel it too.  I'll probably dump my Lufthansa miles.

I called them up today to try and get my wife's AF waived. I got transferred to an account specialist who right away waived the fee, and she also gave me 1 extra mile per dollar on all gas, grocery, and utility purchases for the next 90 days, up to 8000 miles.

Dan always writes on the main site that united domestic through m&m is 12,000 one way. Well I booked 3 OW's and they were 12,500 each... Here's a pic of my account activity. The 3 flights were as follows. 13/06. Phl-ord-sbn. 05/08. Sdf-ewr. And on 05/08 ewr - sdf.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanx
