Current Offers: USAirways cards with no annual mileage bonus
Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics
[NOTE: Barclays is erratically enforcing the restriction "for Preferred members only," especially for those who leave off a membership number on the application. See recent experiences reported in the thread.]
There is a separate thread for a 40k+10k offer with $89 annual fee, no anniversary bonus: USAirways CC special Offer 40K + 10K BT Bonus; AF not waived

1) I applied for this card but got the message
Check your application status by visiting http://www.myapplicationstatus.com/
At Barclays, if you already have an online account, the card can also show up there before you get a notification from them. Obviously, that won't work if you don't yet have an online Barclays account from another card. But if it's not your first US card, you presumably do have an online account already.
2) What's the reconsideration line number?
866-408-4064. Only open M>F, 8am>5pm, Eastern.
3) How long after my first purchase does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles for the first-purchase bonus post with the statement showing the initial purchase.
4) For those people who got the targeted offer, how long after spending $750 in each of the 3 months does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles posts two months after the end of the promotion period. For example, if your promo was to spend in June, July and August, the 15k bonus would post with October statement.
5) How can I get the anniversary 10K bonus points without paying the annual fee?
The annual bonus posts on the statement date of the month of anniversary. No need to "kick out" a statement. But if you are worried, you can put a few bucks on the card during that cycle thus generate a statement but it is NOT necessary.
AF is billed the last business day of the month of the anniversary (much better than Chase practice which is on the 1st day of the month). You have 60 days to cancel the card for the AF to be reversed. You also can use SM to cancel card and no need to call.
Note: I called to cancel the card (June, 2014), told them it was because the AF was too high, and they waived it. Still got the 10,000 points and the Companion Certs!!

Thanks for the info. Hopefully we would see ours in early part of August. I start to think that when the anniversary date falls, (early part of the month versus later part of the month) may make a difference when the bonus posted - before fee billed or after fee billed as we have seen both situations reported.
So they do not reverse the fee after the billed date even if one cancels the card after that date or it so sounds. All other banks would reverse the fee billed if cancellation within 30 or 60 days after fee billed. I actually believe this is in the regulations.

I'm planning to do my quarterly churn in July which would include US Air card #3. So if I cancelled now I'm afraid they would notice and question me. Besides my annual fee is due Dec for card #1 & #2 and I'd like to get the 10k bonus before the cancellation. What do you think?

Well, as I mentioned a few posts ago, I had 2 existing US Air cards, and cancelled both of them a little bit over a month before applying for card #3 yesterday. In my experience, they did notice, question me, and deny me.
So based on my recent experience, cancelling both is not a great idea. LOL

Is there still any card that offers 10k QM's as a part of the spend? I am sorry but I was unable to find anything in looking through about a dozen pages of the thread or the USairways site. Thanks!

Successful churn
Applied for my first card last November, approved instantly, got 40k DM miles after first purchase.
Applied again yesterday, no instant approval this time, but got approved the next day. Looking forward to another 40k DM miles.
Anyone knows when they'll become AA miles?

I have some questions about this USAIR offer. Does anyone know if the 2 companion passes can be used on 2 different flights? Also, are these available when you first open the card (with the annual fee waived the first year), or do they only come into play upon renewal and payment of the annual fee? Thank you!

Oh I forgot to ask: some people have mentioned that they get an offer for bonus miles (with spend) if they only make one charge on the card. Is this a firm suggestion or is it hit or miss. I apologize if this has been covered earlier in the thread. Thanks!

But to answer your questions the companion pass comes in your welcome kit with the card and you will get another pass each anniversary. The companion pass can be used for up to two companions on one flight (can't split it over two flights).

The offer for 15k miles with a $750+ spend in EACH of 3 mos was offered to my husband but not me and I actually got the card a month earlier than him and we each only put one small charge on our individual card.
