1) First ever Barclaycard opened: Feb 2017, auto approved Aviator Red

Upgraded to Silver May 2017
Closed Feb 2018, right before the annual fee hit (not waived, didn’t care to keep)


2) Read about waiting 35 days after close, which is what I did. I can’t remember exactly how many days, but it was more than 35 but less than 45.

2a) Applied for Aviator Red #2 mid-April 2018, and was auto approved


Upgraded Aviator #2 to Silver August 2018.


3) Applied for Aviator Red #3 within these last 3 days, October 2018. Auto approved. Messaged to confirm 60k bonus. Was confirmed. Got this less than 20 days (15-19) after closing #2..
