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.

On 9 December 2019 there was a technical malfunction on our website miles-and-more.com between 4 pm and 4:40 pm (local time Germany). Meanwhile it was possible to view other Miles & More profiles. Only participants who logged in at the same time were affected. There are currently no signs of a hacker attack. Other login options to your account, such as the Miles & More App or LH.com, were not affected. We will contact affected participants individually.

There is a trick to book a tix up to one
Year out , and then you can cxl and redeposit
Points For IIRC $50 fee ,

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
Anybody know if this still works?

Has Lufthansa extended the expiration date for their lounge vouchers?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

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?
You also need to use the card every month, btw
how does it work? as long as i use the card the miles do not expire or it extends it for some time period?
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

You need to use it every single month, never skip a month. It’ll keep extending expiration of the miles you’ve earned to another 36 months out from that usage. But if you ever miss a month, it’s over, and your 36 month clock starts ticking.

You should cash them out any way you can, because they’re toast. And no. :(

I was told I have until the 6th to use my expiring miles from 2020. I also received an email to that effect. Now it looks like they were debited from my account on December 31st. What to do?

Looks like the issue is that they expired at the end of 1/6/21 German time- right before I tried using them. What has been people's most effective way of fighting Lufthansa/Miles and More?

Would a DOT complaint help? Do I have a valid point? I was told I have 24/7 through the end of the 6th to book- and never thought about the fact that they are headquartered in Germany.

UPDATE: I filed a complaint with the DOT, LH responded after a few weeks, and after a long email chain back and forth with LH they finally agreed to give in and have now reinstated my miles. TYH!
