I got quite the run around speaking to Barclay's customer service today. There is no offer in my account but I've had the Red card since 2014. I first did the chat feature online which said that I'm eligible for the Silver but have to call to upgrade. When I called Barclay customer service they transferred me to applications who said that I can't apply for the Silver, who then transferred me back to customer service. The agent said he talked to applications and management and found out that invitations are sent by American Airlines Aadvantage, not Barclay, which seems odd to me given that AA isn't a credit card company. But I guess I could have read further up the thread to find all this out

Has anyone recently had luck getting an invitation for the Silver card?? Or is there someone at AA to talk to nudge the invitation?
