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:

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!!

Ok need some help folks.. I also received a letter stating that the annual fee will hit my account on Dec 31st and states all the benefits associated with the card (minus 10K anniversary bonus). I did apply for the card from post 1 which states 10k bonus.
In short, I talked to the CSR and of course they are denying the 10K bonus feature.
Even though the CSR denies the bonus being linked to my account, will i receive the bonus after my statement closes on Dec 9th or not?
Any folks who've been through the same process?

Thank you for this little insight!
When applying for the 2nd card 6+ months later do I have to call and apply over the phone or can I just apply on line? I assume I will end up on the phone even if I apply online to answer why I need the 2nd card.

With this card it is a little different, because you can get the 2nd card while still having the 1st one open by calling and explaining why you need a second card. This can happen 6+ months after you got your first one. Also, if you want to cancel, it is best to wait until the last minute (12 months), since it has been reported that the 10,000 anniversary bonus miles post one statement before anniversary date (I have not verified this myself because it is not anniversary time for me yet). Good luck.

Apply online, then either wait for approval/denial by checking application status website, or call the next day and get a decision on the phone.

Data Point: I got a second card 6 months after the first, and confirmed 40,000 mile bonus when I activated it. It automatically linked into my existing Barclay's account. The bonus miles haven't actually posted yet, but I am confident they will.
