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.

Sign up is only 20k, not 55k. Bad time to sign up.

A friend has offered to let me claim the mileage for his recent Lufthansa flights. How do I go about it?

I saw a sign somewhere offering to buy mileage off people not planning on claiming it.

in the mir yerushalaim? I saw it too and was wondering the same, I was planning on calling the # pretending to give them my unclaimed miles and figure out what they were doing. But never got around to it... They probably open up a ffn under the persons name and claim his miles for him

I think it's rather unlikely they open up a new ffn, cuz what you gonna do with one flights worth of miles sitting in yankle shmerels account?

they'll add more miles into it from cc's and then sell flights. Aka points brokers... But what do you think they do?

No idea, I naively thought you could claim for someone elses flights. Did you save that number?
