Good luck with Barclays, hopefully you will find some way to get the miles back. I would research this site now that you've found it. Just a quick heads up, you usually want to skip CapOne. They usually pull all 3 credit reports and for 10k bonus points, it's not worth it. Also you need to find a FICO score somewhere, you usually want to stay above 740 AFTER your new accounts and inquires hit. Just take your time and welcome to FT!
