The agent was very friendly but said they cant see the bonus for my account. They said they know about the offer but just dont see it listed under my account.
I havent made the $2000 spend yet but am worried that because I have an existed Barlcay AA personal card I got sign up bonus miles for from several years ago that the new bo bus wont apply. I activated the card online and at the end of activation I signed into my existing Barclay card online account (that also has my personal card) and it showed both the new Business card and pre-existing personal card account under the same login. Could doing this have screwed up my bonus due to terms and conditions? "This one-time offer is valid for new accounts only. Existing accounts and previous cardmembers with accounts closed in the past 24 months may not be eligible for this offer."
Really hoping I just have to make the spend and the 80K will show but concerned based on the uncertainty by the rep (who gave me AA phone number to call at the end of the session).
Hopefully this will ease your mind a little. Beginning of April, I applied for the Aviator Red card again (and was approved) after closing my first one 16 months ago. Then I saw the current Aviator business offer and couldn't help myself and applied about 3 weeks after the Red card. I had closed my first Aviator business card last December. I had to call in and transfer a portion of my Red limit to open the Business card but they approved me.
I received my Red bonus shortly after my first statement and I just hit my 2k spend on the Business card over the weekend. My Barclays app now shows that I've earned 82,xxx miles for this statement period.
If they were going to deny anyone a SUB, it probably would have been me due to my velocity; however, as the previous reply to you mentioned, if you're approved for the card, you'll get the bonus. If you weren't eligible for the bonus, they most likely would have denied your application. Hope this helps a little.
