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!!

I applied yesterday and was instantly approved for the platinum mastercard.
Quick question: is there any difference in benefits between the platinum and world mastercards other than the mastercard benefits themselves? I saw earlier in the thread that the bonus miles should be the same, but what about other benefits like the priority check-in etc.?

I have the Platinum Mastercard, and I received that same letter at the end of August. About 2 weeks later my 10,000 miles posted, which was still two weeks before the annual fee was due. I think they are trying to get people who won't keep the card anyway to cancel before the bonus posts, rather than after.
There is at least one person on this thread who did not receive his bonus, but I think that was an anomaly rather than a new policy.

Actually, saacman5033's September's post that is quoted in post #1832 got an answer that the September person who wasn't eligible for the 10k bonus actually had the world mastercard. So it seems that the ineligibilty for the 10k is not related to world vs. platinum.

It's a somewhat confusing post, but in the end we don't even know if the person who didn't receive the 10k bonus had platinum or world. That was just saacman5033's speculation.

When I first applied I was only approved for the Platinum card. I hadn't received my 10k anniversary bonus and my BF who applied for the card a month later had already received it. I called, but the phone reps are worthless. I sent an SM and they applied the points.

When I called the rep wasn't very helpful so I figured I just wasn't eligble. I've checked back the past few months and don't see the 10k posted to my account anywhere.

It's been hard for me to get them to give me the 10k bonus because I don't have anything I can see in my T&C that shows that I should get it. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get them or if I should be eligible I would appreciate it.

Applied in Aug and Dec 2012 and approved on both.
I received the 15K after $750 in spending each month (Nov, Dec, Jan). Barclays seems to be clueless about this offer as usual. Can anyone confirm if it is based on the calendar month or billing cycle?
TIA
