We will leave this thread open for questions from existing cardholders who applied using offers with the perpetual annual 10k bonus. Otherwise, please post on the ongoing thread on standard offers:
Current Offers: USAirways cards with no annual mileage bonus
Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics
[NOTE: Barclays is erratically enforcing the restriction "for Preferred members only," especially for those who leave off a membership number on the application. See recent experiences reported in the thread.]
There is a separate thread for a 40k+10k offer with $89 annual fee, no anniversary bonus: USAirways CC special Offer 40K + 10K BT Bonus; AF not waived
Expired Links:
30k at signup, 10k anniversary bonus, 10k with balance transfer, no fee first year - Landing Page (Ended 4/30/14)
Older 35K Link (older link not working)
Newer 35K Link (click on terms and conditions to see 35K bonus after first purchase, first year fee waived, and 10K anniversary bonus)
1) I applied for this card but got the message
Check your application status by visiting http://www.myapplicationstatus.com/
At Barclays, if you already have an online account, the card can also show up there before you get a notification from them. Obviously, that won't work if you don't yet have an online Barclays account from another card. But if it's not your first US card, you presumably do have an online account already.
2) What's the reconsideration line number?
866-408-4064. Only open M>F, 8am>5pm, Eastern.
3) How long after my first purchase does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles for the first-purchase bonus post with the statement showing the initial purchase.
4) For those people who got the targeted offer, how long after spending $750 in each of the 3 months does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles posts two months after the end of the promotion period. For example, if your promo was to spend in June, July and August, the 15k bonus would post with October statement.
5) How can I get the anniversary 10K bonus points without paying the annual fee?
The annual bonus posts on the statement date of the month of anniversary. No need to "kick out" a statement. But if you are worried, you can put a few bucks on the card during that cycle thus generate a statement but it is NOT necessary.
AF is billed the last business day of the month of the anniversary (much better than Chase practice which is on the 1st day of the month). You have 60 days to cancel the card for the AF to be reversed. You also can use SM to cancel card and no need to call.
Note: I called to cancel the card (June, 2014), told them it was because the AF was too high, and they waived it. Still got the 10,000 points and the Companion Certs!!

Offer expiration date?
Does anyone know of any expiration date associated with this offer (US Airways Barclays Premier World MasterCard, 35k miles after the first spend)?
I don't see any mention of the offer's expiration date in the link given in the original posting, but I see that the link from the offer to "Terms and Conditions" is apparently no longer working, and tomorrow is the last day of the month.
Two other offers that I am interested in expire tomorrow (Delta personal and business AmEx both with 50k sign up bonuses), but I regard the US Airways offer as most interesting since its automatic 10k mile annual retention bonus makes me regard it as essentially a no annual fee card. However, given Barclay's reputation for pickiness, I think perhaps I ought to apply for the Barclays card first, which is making me consider applying for all three cards tomorrow.

I received the Premier World Mastercard and I have no status with AA. The literature that came with my card said I would receive 35,000 for first use and 10,000 at my anniversary after paying the annual fee. The telephone rep. said my balance transfer fee would be capped at $100 and I would receive 10,000 miles for doing a $10,000 balance transfer with 0% for 6 months. It has been so far so good for me. I was surprised to get this deal, since I just recently opened the Choice Privileges card. They transferred some credit line from the Choice Card to the US Airways Card to free up credit for the balance transfer.

Got the card and am waiting for the miles to post...
As mentioned here, they hit transunion and that is my first inquiry there, are there any other decent bonuses for barclay's cards? The ones I've seen are very low, maybe 10k or so best western points etc.

Well since the offer was targeted to preferred members, I would probably sign up for a DM account before applying. I don't think they have anyway to tell what DM # is preferred or not, but if you don't have one at all, it might set off a red flag. Then again it might not.

I have a feeling the 10K Preferred Miles are given by US and not Barclays so it might become an issue if status is an issue for you.

Never again with Barclays Bank
As many here, I got the Platinum. Called customer service, got to a manager, she said you need >$5K credit limit for Premier World (I had $3700), and transferred me to credit dept. Credit limit raised immediately! to $14K, but guy said I need to talk again to customer service to change the card... another wait, got another manager who said: we still cant change your card to Premier World. She agreed to open a complaint case. So- far >1/2hr wasted phone time.
AND More Deception: just got email encouraging me to use MY card (probably because I did not activate it)... and the card picture in the email has "Premier World" !!

Status not an issue since it looks like have to spend 25k to get 10k. Won't be spending that much.
