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.

If its 3 years since you earned them they will expire now.
Does having the card and spending on it keep MM miles alive, like most other loyalty programs? Or MM miles expire in 3 years with no options to extend?

If you login from the app for the first time you can get 500 miles. And check if there's a way to shop through them and receive points, like shopping through ba and gets an extension of 36 months, looking for a way to activate my IB account, still haven't found a away , tried with the E-surveys but need to take a lot to get that.
  Yes transfer from amex, but as of now don't need to book with them, just want to transfer my avios back and forth. i guess when i need will do that, curios if it takes a week or so to activate my account after the transfer?

i havent used card for months at a time and miles still active. IME they expire 36 months from last use

the following is an email i received back from miles and more when i sent an email to customer service (service@miles-and-more.com)--

Dear Ms ,
 
Your award miles are valid for 36 months from the date of the flight or partner activity and expire - if not redeemed - at the end of the scheduled quarter. The award miles in your account will begin to expire on 30 June 2019. We inform you of the number of miles current and the following quarter in your online account statement. With the subscription to our online newsletter, you are notified two months in advance as well. Where there is no indication, your miles are safe for the time being.

In many countries you can keep your miles safe by ordering a Miles & More Credit Card. To enjoy mileage protection you must own the card three months before a scheduled expiry and use it at least once a month for a mileage-eligible purchase. You also receive award miles for every purchase you make with the credit card. To discover more about this attractive option and the participating banks, visit our website at www.miles-and-more.com > How it works > Miles & More credit cards worldwide <.

Come and visit our homepage soon.
 
Sincerely,
Your Miles & More Team

Your email concurs with what I said, and that's their rules. If your experience is otherwise state that, but don't treat it as the official policy and have people follow suit.
Your miles were earned before June 2016?

Yes, you have 36 months, the card benefit is that it keeps the points alive even after the 36 months are up.

Dan wrote in this post that Miles & More points expire after 36 months unless you have the CC. Once you close the card, does the 36 months start from closure date or from the date they were acquired?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

You also need to use the card every month, btw
