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.

so you'd pay $500 instead of the extra 35,000 miles through united?
You mean to say extra 55,000 miles, yes its worth

when requesting a cl increase, all banks do a credit check
Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

So I'de better try and at least get a card out of it. ( they declined the increase.)  I don't have arrival.  What's the best way to apply to avoid another pull?

Problem is that I asked for the request and was denied yesterday. The pull only showed up on the CR today

UPDATE:  Applied, Denied, PUTPACR, Another hard pull,  shift CL, Approved Arrival+.  Remains to be seen if pulls merge.

I applied for this card with a 0% interest and now they are showing 24% APR. What can I do about it?

Do you have a screen shot?  I personally never heard of such a deal.

ETA: I just googled and found it.  There is a non Premiere card that does not seem to have 0% APR presented as an alternative on the same landing page.  Maybe you got a Barclays Bait & Switch :'(

 I don't have a screenshot, but now they are currently also showing this offer. The non-premier also has 0%
