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.

Right and you said RT. He can book OW from NYC at the regular rate and OW back at the 52.5k with the israeli address. I personally prefer a Jordanian address.

Its not better but same benefits. And I'd venture a guess that they have way fewer audits than Israeli addresses.

Question about my points that expire today(!).
When using the trick to book an award far out, pay the $50 fee, and cancel... at what point do I cancel the award?? what does it mean when it says it will only extend for 1 quarter? So I'm paying  $50 to extend it 3 months?
Thanks!
Need the info asap of anyone is available...

As Peter SAID "Then you must use the  read deposited points within the next quarter that I am believe starts January March  and you can extend for over a year for $50 .
Call them to explain to you exactly how it is done, well worth $50 for 55,000 miles

PSA:
If you need to extend miles that are expiring TODAY - if you make a booking and cancel it monday the miles will be extended until next quarter (3 months) and you wont be charged $50 bc they are closed weekends and they consider monday to be within 24 hours!
