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!!

Got my Premier card in the mail today. I previously had the card and closed it four months ago. Now I'll wait and see if I get the 40K bonus again.... but today when I was reviewing the bonus terms, it says "Offer available to Dividend Miles members currently with Chairman's Preferred Status only" and I am not a Preferred status member, so I hope I don't get the crappier offer of 20K.

I applied for both business and personal cards at the same time, and got approved for the personal one and declined for business one. Reason for decline was "sufficient credit is available on your account issued by Barclays". Does anyone have a similar experience, and is it advisable to call the reconsideration line? The idea is to see if I can get them to shift some credit line from my personal card to the business card to get that card approved, and hopefully not have another credit pull.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
They said the minimum credit line for the USAir card was $5k, so perhaps if they gave you a $10k credit line or more on the personal card for which you were approved, they would move $5k of the line over to the business card and approve you. If they gave you less than $10k on the personal card though, my understanding is that there wouldn't be sufficient credit to move over and open the business card.
YMMV, of course.

As someone said above, they're very stingy. Most of my credit lines are in the $15k-25k range. Barclay gave me $7k on my NFL card, and then when I applied for the USAir card, they woudn't give me any more but instead transferred $5k from the NFL card to the USAir card. Thus keeping me at $7k total credit lines with Barclay.

"Earn 15,000 bonus miles when you spend over $750 in new purchases each month in November, December and January."
I activated my card in early September and have charged about $120 on it since then. I couldn't recall if I got the offer so I sent a secure message yesterday asking if I was eligible and they said no. Not sure what criteria they are using to determine who gets it.

I have applied for this card twice over the last 3 months and been rejected both times. When i call they tell me that is it due to a prior US Airways card 5+ years ago. I'm jealous that some of you guys are able to churn this card without any issue.
