I asked if I could still get the new card and they said no, because you cannot have 2 copies of it and I would have to close the first one (which I won't do until the 10k annual bonus stops posting). I thought I could get a second one, but I guess not.
A month or two ago you probably could have, but Barclay recently tightened up severely.
