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.

Theres no M&M Business. I think he's referring to a Barclay business card.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Not sure what you mean, you need to earn "Miles and more" to keep your miles from expiring. And there isn't a no AF version of the card.

I was offered the option of converting to a no annual fee card, was wondering if this card as well would keep my miles from expiring if used each month,  however i called back a few minutes later and the option disappeared , I'm not sure why...
It seems you need to have the offer on the account to downgrade.

The no annual fee card, is not a Miles and More earning card.

So the answer to your question is No.

I was told it is, you get 1 miles and more miles per 2 dollars spent

See up thread:

I was  not aware of that, If that is indeed the case, then the answer to your question would be yes.

Seems the option isn't always available though, as earlier they had that option, whereas now they don't see it anymore...
