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.

I'll note that is very rare for Barclays do deny a first card.
Just as rare as it's to get a second card nowadays.

If I cancel my current Lufthansa and apply again will that be considered a first card(in terms of the difficulty of getting a second)?

as always with barclays YMMV
Although 2/3 bm with them is 1 pull the whole day so no need to have a few browsers open
So if you apply and are approved you should immediately apply for another Barclay card?

FYI.  I just received this card over the weekend and I was able to get the first year annual fee waived today just by calling and asking.

Looking at the wiki, it doesn't seem people have specifically tried to apply for the same card after closing the same a week earlier. Has anyone done this since the wiki to be able to update it?
