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.

Tried getting annual fee waived, no go. Account is less than a month old.
Were the reported successes on older cards?

I do plan to huca
Just called again, just asked nicely. Annual fee waived.
That was easy :-)

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?

No one tried this yet?

You most likely will not get more than one card. Apply for the card you want most first.

You can try, just don't expect multiple cards.

Always worth a try for 2 cards  but don't be disappointed .  I would think odds are better if you get auto approval on first card ,then be prepated and go for the second . You might be the exception .

It shows on the statement.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

The account itself? Or the credit pull?

The account will generally be on all 3 reports (which is usually a good thing) .
The credit pul will only show on the bureau that they pull.

IIRC In order to use the companion ticket: need to purchase a regular fare, need to leave from USA, and needs to be on a lufthansa flight, and of course the companion needs to pay taxes and fees which is several hundred dollars.
