I have the premier rewards card and just called barclays to see whether I could get the 10k anniversary benefit added to my card. I don't want to cancel my card and reapply for this one, because I'm working my toward the spend bonus for the 10k EQM.
I can't believe how stupid these people are. It's absolutely impossible to make any headway with them. I'd like to criticize them for not saying yes, but the truth is that's too harsh since they can't even comprehend the question. I've tried several methods to no avail. The latest round of secured messages culminated in the frustrated "credit specialist" telling me I have to call USAirways.
