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.

You think Barclay will allow it? I know that they used to give a hard time when applying for two cards
Many happy days are coming :)
Watch this inspiring video.

I applied for both at the same time about 3 months ago without any hassle for both, was instant approved for both.
But were those your first cards ever with Barclays? I've had a 2BM work, but it failed when I was going for my first-ever Barclays cards.

I'm missing something here. I thought UA YQs were cheap. Is that only when paying with UA miles? I went EWR-MUC-TLV in J for $33. EWR-HNL looks like $80. Why are the ones you found so high?
UA doesn't collect YQ when you redeem mileage, LH does. It's not about how much YQ, but rather if you pay it or not.

I believe there will be full YQ on UA.

+1
I can confirm that.

Oh. So NYC-HNL will be more than the $80 listed on UA.com if booked with LH?

US carriers don't have a YQ within the western hemisphere on paid tickets, so theoretically there should never be a YQ on any awards either.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yet there is? So going to HI is going to cost more than $5.60 each way?

I applied for 3 people. One was instantly approved, while the others went into pending. Now still 3 days later they can't find the application when I check online. I even try applying again and I got an error message that I had already applied.
