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.

May not affect the bonus, but I feel like it's much easier getting approved for another if you downgraded, or at least closed.

+1 .Was challenged once as to why I needed second card and denied , not necessarily for that reason.  Downgraded to Brclys rewards card and got second LH  a month later .

Does Berclays claw back points if you refund a item? does your account go negative?

They don't claw the miles that were already transferred into your FF program, but it will be deducted from any future earnings.

is it better to wait until the bonus posts before trying to get the fee waived?

I'm hoping a 50k offer will pop up soon and to do an AOR. I already have 2 Barclays cards (Arrival non-plus & Aviator). Will I have a better chance of being approved if I close one of my accounts 1st?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I spent $1k within a week of getting the card and about 2-3 weeks later my statement closed with no 35k bonus. Is that normal? how long does it usually take?
