Did they crack down on approval for this card, it’s the first time recon won’t budge on this card for me, even when I told them that it was flagged as a duplicate since I have the silver flavor.
And I heard the same from others, just wondering is it still “churnable“.

I think there was a policy change about a month back.  I managed to get approved for a second card just prior (already had an old U.S. Airways converted card).  A few days after I posted my experience in FT, people started reporting that Barclays was no longer willing to approve a second card.

Just got approved for it last week. Though I made sure to close the other card first.

The old us airways card always had a different rule. It doesn't get flagged as duplicate or something like that..

True, but the policy change I'm referring to is for people who have that card.  I saw reports on FT that they were no longer approving an additional card.

two months ago I also didn’t have a problem.
That exactly my question, is it a recent change in policy, or I got a few bad reps.

Repeating what I posted above: looks like a policy change.  The well has gone dry according to reports at FT.

I realize all of the online info states that this deal expired today, but......

Try this:  MyAviatorCard.com/Miles

That site says that you have until January 31st to apply.
