Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics

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!!

Just got instant approved for 7.5K credit line on my 2nd US Air card. Opened first in May 2012, same size credit line. Initially I spent $10 on the first card, but the last week or so I've spent ~$200 in preparation for calling Barclay's recon line. Guess I won't have to do that!

I gave in and applied for my second one yesterday after getting the first one in May. Instant approval, credit line exactly half of what I got the first time around. I'm hoping there's still time to get this at least one more time before it goes away.

It's clearly posted on the first page.
Business card ATM?
If you're referring to the business version of the "credit" card, the offer is less generous. Again, read the first page of the thread or click on the landing page for specific terms of the promo.
There used to be a debit card offered by Bank of America but it was discontinued last year like other banks did with their rewards debit card programs. I had it and BOA automatically reissued me their regular debit card and gave me a pro-rated refund of the annual fee. I think this might the eventual fate of the current US card issued by Barclays.

For those people who have two US air cards (and assuming it's not clear whether you can continue to churn the cards, given some unsuccessful reports):
I'm curious, would you be willing to pay the annual fee for the two cards (with the 10k anniversary bonus)? It's certainly cheaper than buying the miles outright and I think most people would say that $180 for 20,000 miles is reasonably a good deal. Thoughts?
