My DH recently obtained the Barclay's US Airways MC. After having the card just a few days and making a few purchases he went had gone to the dentist as was going to use it there. The receptionist swiped the card and said that the message on her display said "expired." She tried again two more times after that & same message. So when DH got home he called Barclay's and they also told him that his card had expired and they will be sending him another. All of his charges had been minimal. No MS spending. At the time it showed up in online banking 3 pending charges for the dentist. It's been a few weeks & no card. Statement closed & bonus posted to account. Recent credit report shows the account is still active. We were going to close the account eventually so not sure if we'll call them for a replacement card or just call them in a few months to close.
