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 did it. Miles posted.

I applied over 30 days ago, they asked for DL, SS Card. I mailed in but they never received it. Should I bother with recon for that app or just reapply? Are they gonna pull again for 1st app since its over 30 days?

Can you get the miles for a second card, if you opened it while your first card was still open?

Yes but you may not get approved with the other card open.

Thanks for your reply to my question.
To answer your question, the general rule is that it goes according to the date of the application, not the approval.

I am loving my Lufthansa card right now.
This week I booked 3 last minute business first seats from JFk-Lax for only 2.50 in taxes each and 17,000 miles.  These are the lie flat seats.
In the past I had bad luck getting these seats but there seems to be amazing availability now.

Last minute availability doesn't help a lot of people unfortunately.  But yes, if you can get it when you need it, it is awesome.  Congratulations.
What do you do after your dreams come true?

I had an emergency and needed tickets. I guess that is why I never find, since I usually book my tickets in advance.
