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.

Does it make sense that I had points on my acct then the first statement closed and they disappeared?

I applied for the world MC and received the platinum. From what I've been reading I understand that the platinum does not receive a 50k bonus. I called them and they confirmed that I am getting th e50k after spending 5k and all other bonuses. Anyone had such an experience?

When do these miles expire after I close the card, 36 months after closing or once it's closed you count the 36 months from when you got the points?

I know that but if you have their cc then it does not expire, so I'm asking when does it expire after closing the card?

This happened to me also a few months and I got the 50k. I even think the annual fee might be less. Then again who pays annual fees anyways?

Can I use the free companion ticket right away? How many miles do I have to accrue to be eligible for it? Can I use it for traveling long distance?
